Tennessee/North Carol<strong>in</strong>a<br />
Cherohala<br />
Skyway<br />
Completed <strong>in</strong> 1996, this twist<strong>in</strong>g, turn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
mounta<strong>in</strong> road was 34 years <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g – with<br />
a price tag of $100 million! The result is worth it,<br />
however, as this beautiful stretch of two-lane packs<br />
a lot of punch <strong>in</strong>to a scant 43 miles. It leads riders<br />
from Tellico Pla<strong>in</strong>s, Tennessee to Robb<strong>in</strong>sville, North<br />
Carol<strong>in</strong>a, through <strong>the</strong> Cherokee and Nantahala<br />
(hence <strong>the</strong> name) national <strong>for</strong>ests, to elevations<br />
exceed<strong>in</strong>g one mile, and with barely a straight<br />
stretch to catch your breath.<br />

Grand Canyon Skywalk<br />
This semi-circular, glass-bottomed walkway extends 70 feet<br />
over <strong>the</strong> rim of <strong>the</strong> Grand Canyon, giv<strong>in</strong>g you a true aerial view<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Colorado River – some 4,000 feet below! Its location is<br />
extremely remote, mak<strong>in</strong>g gett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>re an adventure by itself.<br />
In fact, <strong>the</strong> skywalk’s website recommends not follow<strong>in</strong>g GPS<br />
directions, as <strong>the</strong> roads it lists may only be suitable <strong>for</strong> off-road<br />
vehicles. Instead, follow <strong>the</strong>ir recommended route – and leave<br />
your fear of heights at home!<br />
