Will be in TN next week looking for easy to moderate trails for my stock Rubicon with 35 in tires no lift.

Has anyone been to the Outdoor in the Smokies off road park by Crosby TN?

I have been to Windrock and Ride Royal Blue trails with a UTV but not wanting to take the Rubicon there.

If you go to Cades Cove then you can exit via Parsons Road. It's a gravel road that dumps you out on Hwy 129 (The Dragon)

Also off of the Cades Cove loop is Rich Mountain Road.

Both of these are nice, easy trails with great off highway views.

Since you'll be in the area, Abraham's Falls is a great hike with a rewarding cool down at the destination.

I also should have mentioned that once you hit the end of Parsons Branch Road at HWY 129 take a right turn. A little ways down get on Foothills Parkway and take it all the way to the end on Wears Valley Road. Then take a right and it will bring you right back into Townsend.

I have been on Rich Mountain road before had to pause to let a couple rattle snakes cross the road.

Have not been on Parsons Branch road but have driven the Dragon several times on motorcycles. May check these one out.

Thanks for your reply’s
