OK - I confess to being somewhat of a squid!
Having heard of the famous Dragon for many years, I was expecting to be somewhat let down upon actually encountering it a few weeks ago. I rode that puppy several times (up and back) then headed out for Maggie Valley and other parts of the Smokeys. Eventually I rode out to the Outer Banks then up to DC and The Wall. It then became time to head west, back for home.
This is no $hit. After collecting myself back together following an hour at The Wall, I heard the call of the Dragon from over 500 miles away. Back to the Tail I rode. Following a few additional trips (up and back) my appetite was satiated.
The Tail of the Dragon was absolutely EVERYTHING it had been cracked up to be . . . and MORE! Second only to The Wall, the Dragon was the highlight of my 11,500 mile trip.
Don't miss it - regardless of how you ride.
