This ride will take you East through Sevierville, Newport, Erwin, all the way to Roan Mountain St Park, then Sycamore Shoals St Park, to Davy Crockett Birth Place St Park, and back to Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson in Maryville. It is recommended that you leave before 9am because with the stops this is almost an 11 hour ride. Roan Mountain encompasses five summits, which are divided into two sections by Carver’s Gap. The first section – composed of Roan High Bluff and Roan High Knob – lies west of Carver’s Gap and is characterized by a thick coniferous forest. This part of Roan is shaped something like the body of a double-humped camel, with the “humps” being High Bluff and High Knob. Tollhouse Gap lies between the two peaks, and contains the Rhododendron Gardens, the largest of its kind in the world.
