Join us as we tow our Grand Design Serenova 160LG through Great Smoky Mountains National Park to explore Cherokee, NC, in this week’s RV travel adventure! Skipping Chattanooga, we take on the scenic US-441 route—impossible with our big Grand Design Momentum 410TH—and dive into the Oconaluftee area, hiking the Oconaluftee River Trail, visiting the Mountain Farm Museum, and enjoying a steak at Boots Steakhouse in Dillsboro, NC. We tackle the stunning Mingo Falls hike (120 feet tall, 161 steps!), check out the historic Mingus Mill built in 1886, and cap it off spotting elk near Cherokee Great Smokies KOA. From RV camping to towing safety tips and elk spotting, this video has it all—perfect for fans of national park travel, hiking adventures, and Smoky Mountains exploration. Don’t miss it!
