The Straight and Narrow (Distance Edition)
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
So, how far apart are these Tennessee treasures? The answer, like a good country song, depends on how you get there.
- By car: We're talking a trip of roughly 280 to 315 miles, depending on your route and whether you prefer the scenic route or the highway hustle.
- By bus: Now that's a journey for the true adventurer! Grab your headphones and a good book, because this could take between 6 and 7 hours.
But Wait, There's More! (The Scenic Route to Johnson City)
Sure, you could get there in a jiffy, but what about the fun? Taking the scenic route lets you soak up the beauty of Tennessee. Imagine rolling hills, charming towns, and maybe even a chance spotting some local wildlife (no, not bachelorettes in neon boots... although, you never know!).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
For the Nature Lovers: Take the route that winds through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Breathtaking views guaranteed (and maybe a few "wowee zowees" too).
For the Foodies: Detour through Knoxville and sample some of the best barbecue in the state. You won't regret it (your tastebuds, at least, won't).
