If you are an adventurer the Dragon is for you. Located in Deals Gap, North Carolina, in the southern terminus of this storied stretch of US 129 stretching from the Gap back into Tennessee. Despite the reckless corners, it's still fun to ride. If not, you can find a parking spot and watch a parade of "Dragon Slayers" which are riders who fearlessly ride down the Dragon.
The Dragon is connected to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and runs into beautiful forest areas.
The Dragon is one of the best known roads in America. The Dragon used to stretch from California to Chicago, to this day the Dragon has shrunk.
If you are planning to tackle the Dragon, here are some safety tips:
Be Cautious and no stunts!
Focus. Try not to get distracted by the amazing scenery.
Stay in your lane close to the right. If you try to ride straight you can loose control and crash.
There is wild life in the wooden parts of the Dragon so BEWARE.
Distance yourself from other vehicles.
Ride the Dragon between 11 am and 5 pm. During these hours there's barely any traffic.
and most important tip of them all, Always wear protective riding suit and gear.
The Dragon is a thrilling adventure for experienced riders. Enjoy the road and its scenery...But BE CAUTIOUS.
