The Tail of the Dragon

318 turns in 11 miles, one of if not the best drive I've ever been on! If you love curvy, challenging mountain roads and amazing views, this is the route for you! I drove through completely by accident on my way to the Foothills Parkway but I've always wanted to drive the tail of the dragon and I got to its something you must do if in the area!

Ok so this wasn't on MY bucket list .. but was on my husband's so it was on our anniversary trip to-do list! And it really didn't disappoint ether! 318 turns in 11 miles with steep drops and no guard rails! This road is not for inexperienced drivers... But if you drive slow and take the turns carefully it is a pretty amazing experience. There are some cool shops just before you drive into TN that mark the beginning of your drive, and they have memorabilia and stuff. Look for the dragon statue to your left-- he is all made of metal! Just beware.. it isn't for people who don't like heights or who can't navigate turns well.

Awesome place to stop especially for photos. Definitely going back

I’m really not sure what I’m reviewing, so that’s why I’m only giving it four stars.

Awesome stretch of road
