Video: Scenic Drives of TN | Chapman Highway | Knoxville to Sevierville

Chapman highway is the old route many vacationers have taken to get to the Smoky Mountains. It follows highway US 441 from east of the Tennessee River in downtown Knoxville into Sevierville.

For the purpose of this video, we start at the I-40 exit for US 441, cross the river in downtown Knoxville, follow the highway through the suburbs and into the country. Once in Sevierville, we follow the two right turns and head part of the way to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Along the way, we see lots of kudzu, old motels, and billboards for attractions, old and new.

2) US127 down Signal Mountain - https://youtu.be/ezIBtEmIudE

This highway was completed in the early 1920s and was the most difficult stretch of the early North-South cross-county road, the Dixie Highway. Yet, it also became one of the most scenic stretches of the entire route.

In the commentary, I discuss how the road got its name, why it was difficult to build the road, how the Dixie Highway was rerouted and points of interest along the route.

Scenic Drives of the Smokies: US 441 & Gatlinburg Bypass

a portion of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park extends to the few miles between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg along highways US441 and US321. Since Gatlinburg also has heavy traffic, there is a scenic bypass to get to the main entrance of the park.

This Dashcam footage is the highway from the edge of Pigeon Forge to the Gatlinburg Bypass. Along the bypass, there are some areas with downed trees, which shows what the wildfire-damaged areas look like five years later.
