Building the Foothills Parkway into a bigger trip
Section 1 is 25 minutes from TYS and 15 minutes from Maryville, close enough to use as a morning drive before anything else. A common pattern: pick up at TYS, run the Parkway before 9 a.m. while it's empty, then continue to Cades Cove, the Dragon, or Roaring Fork depending on how the day unfolds.
Section 2 (the former Missing Link, completed in 2018) extends from the Walland end toward Wears Valley. With it open, the western Parkway runs about 33 continuous miles from Chilhowee to Wears Valley. On the right morning, running the whole thing top-down before 10 a.m. is one of the most underrated drives in the southeast.
The convertible booking difference
For trips where the whole point is a specific car on a specific road, that communication line matters. Ask us about the top mechanism, weather conditions, tire spec. Questions like that get answered fast when you're talking to us directly rather than through a platform thread.
