441 from gatlinburg to Cherokee

Planning to drive 31 ft Rv with a height of about 13 feet from gatlinburg to Cherokee NC on route 441, anyone know of any height restrictions or issues about doing this. Thanks
  • You should be okay. Lot of elevation changes and deep curves so be rested when you do it.
  • This may get your attention...

    It's on the uphill side going toward Cherokee, so not a real problem.

  • They are doing construction work on that road just inside the park, so you may want to check the NPS website for the times when it's going to be down to one lane.

  • Here's some info on the tunnel heights on that route

  • The heights on the tunnels are marked and measured for the sides. Much higher out toward the center. even at 13 feet, which is darn high!!, you will be fine. Just crowd the center line and pay attention
