Hi,

I am planning to visit Smoky Mountains and while searching for scenic drive route i found this map.

The first map in the above link gives a circle scenic route, but i am planning to go to Asheville also. So wondering if i can drive this circle in anti-clockwise direction. Will i miss the mountain scenery if i go reverse direction?

(I had a very sad experience sometime back when drove- SFO and LA :(.. Even though it was really good, i personally think the other direction would have been much scenic and wonderful)

Some one who is familiar with Smoky Mountains, please give me some advise regarding this.
