Two in tunnel
From Bryson City, follow Everett Street/Fontana Road north out of town, and stay on Fontana Road until you come to the entrance to Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Once in the park, the road becomes Lakeview Drive East. Follow the winding road for about 6 miles until you cross a bridge over Nolands Creek, and there is a parking area next to a barricade. From there it’s a short walk to the tunnel, which is about a quarter-mile long—longer than it looks from the outside. It's dark in there, so bring a flashlight. “Nowhere” is on the other side, along with some beautiful trails and views.
