The Pony Express

The Pony Express

Moderated to Spirited drive on the Cherohala Skyway from West to East. The Skyway is one of the best drives in the Blue Ridge Mountains for both its curves and the views. We'll make a few stops along the way for pictures, fuel and food at Tapoco Lodge Tavern. The drive with stops should be about 6 hours in duration. Make sure you bring some snacks, fluids to stay hydrated. Highly recommend making sure your vehicle is prepped and in good running order as this drive is taxing both on your vehicle and the drivers.
