Music to your ears
About 88 Miles Round-Trip
N
I
ortheast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia are famous
for their music. As the home of the legendary Carter
Family and the Birthplace of Country Music, this area laid
the foundation for America’s modern music scene. Dine at
the Burger Bar where Hank Williams was last seen alive,
visit the auditorium that June Carter and Johnny Cash
called home, and where the first “country” recordings were
made in 1927.
Spelunker tour
About 60 Miles Round-Trip
n the early days of colonization, settlers were often
confronted by Indians—who seemed to attack and
then disappear into thin air. Later, colonists discovered
a majestic underground river, which they used as a
hiding place during the Civil War. On this ride, you’ll
see this unique cave, now called Bristol Caverns, as well
as Appalachian Caverns—an underground labyrinth
more than one million years old.

Tennessee wouldn’t be the same without several manmade lakes. This tour takes you through rugged gorges, past
rocky cliffs, mountain streams, tranquil lakes, unique sites,
spectacular formations, and miles of roller-coaster dips and
rural charm.

he highways of East Tennessee flow through
our crown of glory, the Appalachian Mountains.
Prepare to have your breath taken away as you snake
across the lakes, rivers, and streams of one of the
world’s oldest mountain ranges. Ultimately, the ride
leads to one of the greatest rides in the whole world—
the Blue Ridge Parkway. Visit the Moses Cone House,
the Linn Cove Viaduct, or the various overlooks of
Grandfather Mountain.
B
ays Mountain Park is known for its noisiest inhabitants:
the wolves. And on this ride, your tires will howl just as
loud as they do. Just a few twists of the throttle will take you
to a land isolated from noise and urban life—a land where
deer, wild turkeys, and otters thrive alongside owls, beavers,
and falcons.
