I've done it several times on motorcycle trips, actually I think it's 296 turns in 11 miles, all I know is it will wear out your clutch hand well before you're finished. It skirts the S. edge of the Great Smokey Mt. park.

We have a cabin in Murphy and when we drive home, we always take that way...it's not for the faint of heart if you are heavy footed. A lot of fun tho!
