The former poster is correct - it is open from 8am to 8pm from the NC side, but is gated off closed at the bottom of the mountain.

I was there last weekend, fifteen minutes before the stupid rain hit. There was a policeman there, and I waived at him when I flew by. Most likely there because there was an ambulance there for a sportbike rider that lost control. If you are coming in from the TN side, come in via the Chihowee (sp?) parkway - it's a nice drive as well, just make sure you have gas before you get to it.

I live in Bristol TN, and just bought a 986 (formally rocked a few 911's, and a 944) and can meet down there nearly any weekend. Last weekend I was only able to get up to .77 lateral G's but I was way under on tire pressure - I didn't know you are supposed to raise it on the Boxster.
