Smoky Mountains—Maggie Valley/Waynesville, NC Still Accessible
Though a recent rockslide has forced the closure of Interstate 40 near the North Carolina-Tennessee border, one of the most beautiful areas of the country is still easily accessible.
So despite what you might have heard or read, there is absolutely no reason to cancel or postpone your visit to Haywood County, North Carolina. The snow-covered slopes at Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley offer a one-of-a-kind Smoky Mountain adventure to skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. Or if a quiet getaway is in order this winter season, then the quaint atmosphere of downtown Waynesville, with its eclectic selection of galleries and shops, is calling. Whether you choose an economical motel room, spacious private cabin, lakeside cottage or a charming Bed and Breadfast, wherever you decide to stay in Haywood County, you will be treated to authentic southern mountain hospitality.
The temporary road closure only affects those driving from points west through Tennessee on I-40. But with several alternate routes available, getting to your Haywood County destination will not be a problem. Travelers heading to Haywood County on I-40 from Asheville and points east are not affected. In addition, visitors from areas to the south and north, not traveling on I-40, will not be affected.
If you had plans to visit Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, on the Tennessee side of the Smokies, avoid any delays and enjoy a quiet, relaxing mountain vacation in Maggie
