Newfound Gap: Drive the Highest Pass & Walk the State Border

Drive this road for the winding mountain views but keep your expectations in check for the main parking lot—it gets chaotic. Walk the short trail to the Rockefeller Memorial to literally straddle the North Carolina-Tennessee border. Go at sunrise to avoid the midday RV convoy clogging the scenic pullouts. Budget 45 minutes for photos and fresh air, then keep moving deeper into the park. It is a necessary transit point, not a destination.
