Tail of the Dragon—famous for its 318 curves in just 11 miles—is America’s most thrilling destination for motorcycle riders and sports car enthusiasts.
Winding along US 129 where the Great Smoky Mountains meet the Cherokee National Forest, this iconic stretch offers a pure driving experience: no intersections—just you and the road.
What makes the Tail of the Dragon legendary isn’t just the technical challenge—it’s the rugged beauty, the rush of adrenaline, and the shared respect among those bold enough to conquer it. If you’re chasing adventure, scenery that stops you in your tracks, and stories that last a lifetime, this is your proving ground.
Cold weather is moving into the mountains, and the 2025 season is coming to an end BUT there’s still time to stock up online with your favorite Tail of the Dragon merch for the holidays.
