"This is an excellent and isolated climb from very near Interstate 75 north of Knoxville, Tennessee. The road is fairly steep right off the bat and through tight turns. Thick trees over much of the route result in a pleasant ride on hot days. Towards the top there is a series of tight switchbacks that get you up a big part of the mountain. At the summit the pavement turns to dirt. Mountain Road is a somewhat technical descent as well." (This quote is presented with the approval of John Summerson, from his book, The Complete Guide to Climbing (by Bike), 2nd Edition, pg. 116.)

Not much traffic but a very rough and deteriorating road. Did this one because it was not far off interstate on the way home. Cool switchbacks but the road was so rough I would not do it again.
