So I attended a dealer preview of the Tennessee Bronco Off Rodeo site today for the full day experience.

** There was no embargo and confirmed through the site I can post information here and on social media **

To start the facility is excellent. There are some tight switchback roads leading to the event site so just keep that in mind. The site is well plaout and marked and on a picturesque plot of land. Should be absolutely gorgeous as the leaves begin to turn.

The Broncos provided are 4 door Badlands, Everglades, Wildtrak & 2 door Black Diamonds. All are Sasquatch equipped. We also did a couple laps in Badlands Bronco Sports as well.

The facility is 2,000 acres with about 1,000 used for the site and current trails. They do plan on continuing to add trails as the time passes and to meet weather restrictions if needed to not damage to much.

The trails are great! Rock gardens, uneven terrain, tight trees, ruts steep inclines and declines. You will get to use every feature on the Bronco.

The instructors are amazing. I had Corey (some may know him if you attended the Texas site) and Chris who is new to the team but an excellent guide and extremely personable. The classes prior to and recovery during the movements were filled with great information. The spotting to navigate the terrain was excellent as well from seasoned off roader to someone who has never wheeled they will inspire confidence.

There’s a lot to mention and I am in the passenger seat on our way back home typing this on my phone so it’s very brief. I’ll follow with some photos but I did not get too many as I was behind the wheel for a good portion.

The only complaint is that it ended and I was having an amazing time!

If you have specific questions shoot them my way and I’ll get them answered.

I have a friend that was supposed to attend on 9/18 for the dealer preview. Thanks for the sneak peek. Place looks beautiful. That gift shop isn't going to be big enough. What was the catering like?

Lunch was salad, rolls, Beef Stroganoff, Grilled Chicken breast over rice topped with cheese and asparagus

Dinner is the photo. Salad, rolls, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, green beans, brisket and fried chicken with banana pudding. It is catered by a restaurant in Townsend.

I also asked if some of the trail rides at super cel next year would incorporate the site he said they imagine they will do something but nothing is confirmed or been discussed yet

Looks good. Was just unsure as some that attended the NH site were given a bag lunch. Yet, when I attended the Texas site, it was full-on catered.

Regarding SCE, I expect there to be events there even if they don't entail trail rides. It would be a missed opportunity to leverage the property.

I'm looking forward to 10/10 when I'll get the chance to see it in person. Thanks for the updates.

That right there is my weakness. Stuff is the BOMB.



The Off-Roadeo looks awesome too, hoping they do some tie-ins with Super Cel.

Thanks for the pictures!! They've done a LOT of work over the past month since the Bronco Sport reveal. Pretty impressive how quickly it came together.

They are still working on it not all the furniture is there yet and still working some other trails. They’re doing great work there. You even pass old moonshine stills in the course area to bad they aren’t producing

Was there any smoke from the Flint Gap fire? It is still 0% contained. GSMNP was looking to organize from the back side of Abrams Falls in Happy Valley. Parsons Branch is closed due to fire danger.

Thanks for the share! Wife and I will be there attending on October 5th. Making a week of it! Will be exploring around Chattanooga, Cherokee, Gatlinburg, etc. Hope to hike to some of the many waterfalls in the area as well as take some scenic drives. Leaves should be turning by then hopefully.

Was there any smoke from the Flint Gap fire? It is still 0% contained. GSMNP was looking to organize from the back side of Abrams Falls in Happy Valley. Parsons Branch is closed due to fire danger.
This is sad to hear. Was very much looking to driving down this road! Maybe the fire will be contained and it will be open again by the time we get there!

Not that close, I am about 25 miles west of Hannah Mountain and its on the other side of a Look Rock which is just east of Happy Valley area. Yes its fairly close to Parsons Branch Rd as the fire is on the west side of Cades Cove area. We had some spot fires by me late last week that closed 129 but it reopened in 24 hours. It has been extremely dry going into dry season.
