POV Foothills Parkway Road Trip | Smoky Mountains Scenic Drive

Take a drive on the Foothills Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains: Travel from Wears Valley to Walland, Tennessee. All nature, no advertisements along the way, and virtually no traffic. Relax on this beautiful drive through the mountains and trees! 2020 POV Road Trip. On February 22, 1944, Congress approved the Foothills Parkway as a scenic parkway. The Foothills Parkway is the only one of the seven parkways authorized by Congress that hasn't been finished. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is in charge of managing the entire 72-mile corridor, although only three segments, totaling 22.5 miles, are finished and accessible to the general public. The parkway is Tennessee's oldest incomplete road project. The building of the parkway has been hampered by difficult terrain and financing. The 17 miles from Chilhowee Lake to Walland in the south, which were finished in 1966, are particularly beautiful. Near Cosby, 5.6 miles of the northern route are open. In 1968, this small part was inaugurated. In December 2018, the 16 miles second phase was completed. This 17-mile expansion connects Wears Valley with Walland. There are 33.5 miles in between these sections where development has not even started. The National Park Service has acquired right-of-way, but there is currently no financing. It is hard to believe that such a fantastic roadway for tourists is still under construction. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the country, is skirted by portions of the Parkway. Some people urge to build the Parkway while others have been outspoken about its completion. The sole highway through the National Park, US 441, is almost always congested with traffic. The Parkway provides travelers with a second beautiful option, which lessens some of the gridlock. The Great Smoky Mountains and the Tennessee Valley may both be seen spectacularly from the southern part of the Parkway. On clear days, one can see 50 miles to the west, to the Cumberland Mountains. For those traveling from the Gatlinburg region to the Tail of the Dragon, the completed southern sections offer a fantastic connecting route. The Great Smoky Mountains are breathtaking when viewed from the open areas of the Foothills Parkway. There are a few specific goals of Travel Towner: 1. To take fun POV (“Point-of-View”) videos of scenic drives, highways, and roadways so you can virtually travel anywhere you like; or look back at a time when you were younger. 2. Document a fun walking tour of a specific park, attraction, or point of interest so you can see what's it's like to really be there. 3. Showcase vintage footage from yesteryear to show today's viewers what is may have been like back in 19- something something! If you have any vintage footage of past attractions, parks, road trips or anything interesting from the USA? Contact me and let’s feature it here! 4. Just for Fun. These are videos that are funny or interesting in some way that I think everyone will enjoy! Please give a "thumbs up" if you like taking a POV Road Trip or love POV driving. Want to get in on the fun and make cool videos too? Here is everything I use to make it happen: The iMac to edit: https://amzn.to/3AMBhWv Video Camera: https://amzn.to/3xwP29F Steadycam: https://amzn.to/3wvdaIv Media: https://amzn.to/3hS4Ihp Another big part of the channel is to document a piece of Americana… at a certain point in time. Wouldn’t it be cool to go back to where you lived, 20 or 30 years ago, and take a ride through your hometown? As more roadway drives, walking tours, and vintage trips are added, it builds history so future viewers can go “back in time” and see what it was like, back then. Roadtripping and traveling are uniquely American pastimes- and we should preserve it’s history- so future generations can appreciate the Freedom of the Road.
