No, I have not. What is there? Riding, site seeing? The trails I rode before were in Cades Cove. Hopefully, the Mountain Laurel and Azaleas will be blooming then (early April). Do you know of any sporting clays/trap clubs in the area?
Maggie Valley is about 10 miles from Cherokee. It's mostly tourist with the usual RV parks, restaurants and souvenir shops.
I used to go a big Blue Grass festival they have once a year there.
Never been riding around there and don't know about shooting clubs in that area, even though I'm sure there must be some.
You'll only be about 90 miles from my house.
