Chatata Valley Loop

The Chatata Valley Loop is a scenic ride featuring fun, twisty backroads through farmlands and excellent pavement - plus a fantastic winery with a panoramic view of the mountains of the Cherokee National Forest. Don't be fooled by this route's short length - this is hill country, and many of the punchy climbs on this route are in the double-digit grades. So be prepared to gear down and power up the steep pitches. It's a challenging route that feels much longer than 25 miles, but it is well worth the effort to take in the surrounding mountains and scenery.
