Cherokee Transit’s air-conditioned buses connect the Tennessee Smokies and the North Carolina Smokies with four round-trips daily during peak season (see schedule).
The route runs through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on Newfound Gap Road (US Hwy. 441). There will be a 10-minute stop at Newfound Gap for photos, etc., on the daytime run. The shuttle will make two stops in Tennessee — • The Gatlinburg / Great Smoky Mountains National Park Visitor’s Center at red light #3 in the center of Gatlinburg. • Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge, near the shopping malls. From there passengers may transfer to a trolley of their choice to travel to other destinations. Download Gatlinburg Trolley map (PDF)
