We have tons of people asking and we want to make sure they are like minded people who will respect the land and not trash it. Also, it takes us a lot of time and research sometimes to accurately locate a lot of these places.

Go check out our Keep Gladiator off-roading videos! Stay tuned because we have more wheeling and exploring trips planned!

The last time we went down Parsons Branch was back in the 80's in a Ford Escort station wagon. The road was nowhere this maintained at that time, when you crossed the bridge to start the drive you went through a tunnel of rhododendron, it was so thick it was like night until you came out. One thing about the drive, it was extremely quiet, no noise of any kind, not even birds chirping, the only thing you heard was the rush of the creeks. I plan to make the trip come this May as I like the solitude of the forest and escape from what we call civilization.

Great video. We made that same trip on 10/22/22 but got a bit of a late start and were slowed down by all of the traffic in Cades Cove so it was dark before we finished. I was actually surprised to see a mini van parked at that trailhead parking lot. Lol.

Nice! Ya I need to try to do some sort of group ride. I posted on here asking people about it but nobody ever commented 😂. I don’t think hardly anyone saw it because it wasn’t a video. Lol

The first time I did parson's branch road, I did it in a Miata... (it was not necessarily the smartest decision, but it was doable at the time). That was before it was closed for so long because of the tree blight. I've since done it in my Colorado ZR2 and there's no way I'd do it again in a Miata, I don't think I could make it up that first big hill now, given how rutted it was last year when we went through there... but it's a beautiful way to get out of the park and back over to the Tail of the Dragon. If you haven't, there's also a nice (but notnecessariuly at all challenging) ride up Bald River Falls River Road off the Cherohala Skyway near Tellico Plains. You can take it from the Cherohala all the way across to Murphy NC and Hwy. 74.

I’ve heard of a few trails out in Tellico Plains, but ever been down there yet. Ya there was an F-150 there when we were at Parson’s Branch. He didn’t make it up that first big hill the 1st time. I wish I had gotten a better view of that hill on camera haha

Do you have more info on where that trail starts in Tellico Plains?

@bendemby924 Жыл бұрын

Two questions, where did you start and end? How much time did it take (4-hours)? How much time did you stop at the buildings (2-hr total)?

I went back to look at the times on the videos/pics. We just used Apple Maps or Google maps to get from Pigeon Forge the Cades Cove Jeep Outpost store. Then, used the same navigation tools to get to Cades Cove. By the time we got to Cades Cove it was around 2:45pm when we got to that area where the horses are fenced in. At the 8:16 mark in this video where the Parsons Branch sign is, it was 4:00pm. The Parsons Branch trail starts at the GPS location of 35.5631, -83.8471. It’s a one way trail so you have to go in from this side per the sign. Of course we were getting out to film and stuff during the trail ride so you could do it faster than us, but we ended the trail at 5:00pm. It is about 7.9 miles. The exit of the trail is at 35.49970, -83.93402.

Parsons Branch should never be opened to Vehicles. It is a beautiful natural area. I don’t know what the park service is thinking by doing that. If you can’t Bike it or Hike it well sorry you would have to stay off. One idea is to have a lottery for a certain amount cars. I have seen Jeep clubs in there and it destroys the road.
