The Cherohala Skyway is a 43-mile (69 km) National Scenic Byway and National Forest Scenic Byway that connects Tellico Plains, Tennessee to Robbinsville, North Carolina in the southeastern United States. Its name is a portmanteau of Cherokee and Nantahala, the two national forests through which it passes. Along with multiple vistas and overlooks, the skyway provides easy vehicular access to various protected and recreational areas of the Unicoi Mountains, including the Citico Creek Wilderness, the Bald River Gorge Wilderness, and the remote interior of the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. Planning for the Cherohala Skyway began in 1958 and the road was completed on October 12, 1996 at a final cost of about $100,000,000. The western (or Tennessee) half of the skyway follows Tennessee State Route 165 for nearly 25 miles (40 km) from Tellico Plains to the state line at Stratton Gap. The eastern (or North Carolina) half follows North Carolina Highway 143 for just over 18 miles (29 km) from Stratton Gap to Robbinsville. The skyway gains over 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in elevation, rising from a low point of just under 900 feet (270 m) at Tellico Plains to a high point of just over 5,400 feet (1,600 m) on the slopes of Haw Knob near the Tennessee-North Carolina state line. The North Carolina half of the skyway terminates near the south shore of Lake Santeetlah.

Son nom est constitué par l'agrégation de Cherokee et de Nantahala, les deux forêts fédérales que la route traverse. Parsemée de multiples points de vue et panoramas, la route permet un accès motorisé simple a des zones protégées et récréatives dans les , y compris la zone sauvage de , les gorges de la rivière , et l'intérieur reculé de la Forêt du . Le projet débuta en 1958 et les travaux s'achevèrent le 2 octobre 1996, pour un coût total de cent millions de dollars[réf. souhaitée]. La partie sud de la route, dans le Tennessee suit la sur environ 40 km depuis Tellico Plains jusqu'à la limite de l'État à Stratton Gap. la partie est, en Caroline du Nord, suit à moitié la sur près de 30 km depuis Stratton Gap jusqu'à Robbinsville, puis se termine près de la rive sud du lac Santeetlah. La route du ciel présente un dénivelé d'un peu plus de 1 300 m, depuis son point le plus bas à 270 m près de Tellico Plains jusqu'à son point haut à 1 600 m sur les pentes du Haw Knob près de la frontière d'État Tennessee-Caroline du Nord.
