Avoid the Rockslide on I-40!

Avoid the rockslide that closed all lanes of I-40 at the TN/NC border! Take this opportunity to enjoy the glorious fall foliage by driving through the countryside and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. From the east and south on I-40:  take exit 27 to Waynesville, or exit 20 to Maggie Valley, and follow the signs to GSMNP and into Gatlinburg. We've got the grill all fired up for you!
