74 is the Smoky Mountain Expressway, exit 27 on I-40. 74 to 441 is the only other way into Cherokee. Its still in the mountains. Not as steep and twisty as 19 but its mountains. I hope you have some experience with mountain driving and using your transmission to slow your decent on the down hill and rev the RPM's on the up hill. I have been on both roads. A good driver experienced in mountain driving can do 19. If you have doubts then go 74 to 441.
