In regard to the mountain vs foothill comment, it's not so much the elevation as the grade and elevation change. This Florida girl prefers to know what to expect and choose the least difficult route.
We were on the Blue Ridge Pkwy in Sept. in NC and came upon a couple at a pull-out whose class C brakes were on fire because they were inexperienced in mountain driving. There were a LOT of ranger reports for stranded motorists in trouble in the Smokies. As camp hosts we heard a lot of their calls. Be prepared!
STAY AWAY FROM PARKWAYS IF YOU HAVE AN RV. They should have known the Blue Hills Parkway was bad news.
