best route cherokee to asheville

we are in cherokee pulling a tt. wondering whether to go to ashville through maggie valley, hyway 19 i think ...or go towards silva and take 23/441? thanks not worried about scenery just best pulling route
  • thanks folks, that was what i was thinking but wanted to confirm with some folks who had been there done that. we came down 23/441 to franklin and it was not bad so will return that way
  • US 19 Cherokee to Maggie is moderately challenging even for me & the 19' Tiger. I've lived in the WNC mountains my whole adult life, and the Tiger is 9200 lbs with an 8.1 & Allison. I've done it a few times both ways, but generally avoid it.

  • I, too, would take the Dillsboro-Sylva route. We have done that many times. We always try to stop in Dillsboro for a meal at the Jarrod House. This whole area is one of our favorite destinations.
  • Yes to 23/441. Did it last year and its a good easy pull. 19 will work everything too hard.
  • 19 is not that 'friendly' RV wise. I might take the Sylva route over to Waynesville and then 40 east.
