🛣️ Connecting People to Possibilities—Past and Present
On National Scenic Byway Day, September 22, discover the East Tennessee Crossing Byway—a route where history, scenery and today’s adventures come together.
For generations, this corridor has connected people to places and possibilities. Today, travelers can follow that same path through historic communities, mountain landscapes and stories that shaped East Tennessee.
From the Cumberland Gap and the routes of early pioneers to scenic drives, outdoor adventures and welcoming communities today, the East Tennessee Crossing Byway offers more than a way to get there.
It’s a journey through where we’ve been, where we are, and where the road might take you next.
Celebrate National Scenic Byway Day by taking the road less traveled and discovering the possibilities along the East Tennessee Crossing Byway.
