Wolf Creek Den Cafe, Stecoah NC
Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap with 318 curves in 11 miles: America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road.
Designated US 129, the road is bordered by the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest with no intersecting roads or driveways to hamper your travel. It is considered “the destination” for thousands of motorcycle and sports car fans throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Can you brave it? It’s best to be cautious as the turns are tight, but the Tail of the Dragon is guaranteed to be the ride of your life.
The nearby Cherohala Skyway is quickly becoming a destination too, with its remote 60 miles of breathtaking scenic mountain highway. The area also has other incredible roads like the Moonshiner 28, Foothills Parkway, Smoky Mountain Loop, Devils Triangle, Blue Ridge Parkway, The Gambler NC209, Diamondback 226, Devil's Staircase, Six Gap North Georgia, The Snake US421 and many Great Forest Service Dual Sport and Jeep Roads.

Nancy and I attended the grand opening of the Townsend Tennessee Wolfcreek Motorsports Rentals. Good crowd checking out their rental fleet. The Tail was wild with exotics, muscle cars, cruisers, and other assorted road fanatics.

Going #SLIDEways into last weekend up at Fontana Dam and Deals Gap. Really enjoyed getting to learn a little about how the 911 behaves around corners with throttle management and steering input.

Chasing two of the baddest females on the dragon; sarah__merrell & lauracraft. Probably one of my most fun runs through the Gap in years. I felt smooth, solid and composed which resulted in loads of fun! Can’t wait to be back there again. Did you enjoy your weekend guys? Gawd knows I did!!🤘🏻
