Cherohala Skyway, also known as Overhill Skyway, is a National Scenic Byway that stretches 43 miles from Tellico Plains to Robinville. The road runs through both the Cherokee National Forest and the Nantahala National Forest (the road’s name is a portmanteau of Cherokee and Nantahala). It reaches elevations of over 5,400 feet, and with many sweeping curves and very little traffic at night, the road can be especially dangerous in the winter. The byway provides access to several viewpoints, recreational areas, and vistas.
