Cherohala Skyway Visitor Center
The official Cherohala Skyway Visitor Center sits at 225 Cherohala Skyway in Tellico Plains, TN, open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff provide free route maps, current road and weather conditions, campsite reservations, and local attraction recommendations. Clean restrooms and picnic tables are on site. The center marks the formal beginning of the 43-mile National Scenic Byway that climbs from roughly 930 feet near Tellico Plains to over 5,400 feet at the Tennessee–North Carolina state line, and it regularly draws motorcyclists seeking current conditions before committing to the high-elevation route.
Check road conditions, grab a free map, and use the restrooms before committing to the Cherohala's 5,400-foot climb — the staff know which overlooks are worth stopping at on any given day.
