Tail of the Dragon 2

Tail of the Dragon is a bucket-list road for any serious rider, delivering 318 tightly packed curves in just 11 miles along the Tennessee–North Carolina border. The pavement is smooth, the elevation changes are constant, and every corner demands full focus—there’s no room for boredom here. Surrounded by dense forest and free from intersections or driveways, it feels like a purpose-built ribbon of asphalt made purely for riding. When traffic is light and the rhythm clicks, the Dragon offers one of the most intense and rewarding road experiences in the world.
