About This Route

The Sewanee Loop route combines rolling roads through farmland with an exhilirating tree-covered descent and climb back up Tennessee's South Cumberland Plateau. This ride begins and ends at the historic University of the South campus in Sewanee, Tenn., which is surrounded by the wilds of South Cumberland State Park and Savage Gulf State Park. You’ll be hard-pressed to get more bang for your buck on any 33-mile route, especially surrounded by the spectacular landscape of Tennessee's South Cumberland region.

The Real Seal

In a world where millions of AI-generated photos are created every day, travelers can’t always tell what’s real anymore. But we’ve made a commitment to never use AI-generated pictures to represent our destinations. Every place we show is real. And to prove it, we created a certified mark for our photography that verifies its authenticity.

Every original photo submitted is analyzed to confirm it’s real, not AI-generated. Once verified, each picture receives content credentials and secure metadata showing who captured it, when it was taken and what camera was used.

Some basic retouching can still be part of a certified photo, but only when it helps to better reflect what was already there.

The Tennessee Real Seal sets a new standard for travel content that people can trust. So even when the landscape looks too beautiful to be true, you know it didn’t come from a prompt. It’s a real place in Tennessee, waiting for you to explore.
