| Description | Continued from page 1 of 2
This article details a proposal for the Parkway route that includes a "loop" through Tennessee. The proposal would route the Parkway along the crest of the Western North Carolina mountains to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and then follow a "return" route through Tennessee. George Stephens of Asheville is quoted as being amazed by the ignorance of federal officials to the the dramatic scenic beauty available along the crest route. |
