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.

July 11, 2019

July 11 - The area is back into the normal summer weather routines of brief afternoon widely scattered thunder storms. We emphasize "brief" and "scattered". Plan you day with riding until mid-afternoon and taking a break when the afternoon storms roll in. They are usually gone in 30-45 minutes and the skies clear for you to get back on the road. Thunderstorms can be heavy on one side of the county and no rain at all on the other side. Lots of activity during the recent holidays, but things have settled back down to normal traffic.
