Tail of the Dragon
The
Tail of the Dragon, commonly called Deals Gap, is an 11
mile stretch of US 129 in North Carolina and Tennessee,
that is one of the most famous and renowned locations
for motorcyclists and road enthusiasts in America. Ride
Deals Gap Tail of the Dragon and wind through
the roads more than 318 curves taking you through some
gorgeous sights and sounds as this famous stretch of
highway runs along the border of the Great Smoky
Mountains National park. Several of the curves have
frightening names, however most drivers and riders
consider the road a well-maintained, safe road. The land
alongside the 11 mile stretch of highway is restricted
for development, therefore there is never any traffic
turning off or onto the stretch, and the speed limit
remains at 30 miles per hour so that motorists can enjoy
the sights and sounds along the way.
Ride the Tail of the Dragon and go through sharp corners
like, Gravity Cavity, Beginner’s End and Brake, and
Wheelie Hell. These and other curves on the Tail of the
Dragon have been featured in a few Hollywood movie
productions including, the 1993 hit The Fugitive, 1999’s
In Dreams and a few lesser known others. When you stay
