    :banana Getting to Springer Mountain Parking Area with the "Little Engine that Could"

    I have a 4 cylinder truck which struggles on major inclines. I am going to drive to the Springer Mountain Parking area and was wondering what roads I should take to get there with my "Little Engine that Could".

    You should be fine. Small cars can easily make it up to Springer.

    My 2005 Toyota Corolla handled it like a boss.

    Like the others said, you'll be fine. The road heading up isn't that bad.

    Made it up to the parking lot in my 88 Ford Ranger with the 4 cylinder - Took it slow and didn't have any issues
