    We finally made it to the Tail of the Dragon! On our ride from Tellico Plains, Tennessee to Cave City, Kentucky, we took an amazing ride through the Cherohala Skyway out to Robinsville, North Carolina to start our ride on the Dragon and make our way out to Kentucky.
    With some amazing stops along the way, like the Tapoco Lodge, and all day riding on back road 2Lanes, this was one of our favorite days of the trip!
    Come along for the ride!

    For this Trip, we decided to save some time and flew into Nashville versus riding there and back, and hopped on some @EagleRider rentals. Overall, it was a great experience and something a little different than our usual travels...good times!

    ABOUT THE CHEROHALA SKYWAY
    The Cherohala Skyway is a 43-mile National Scenic Byway and National Forest Scenic Byway that connects Tellico Plains, Tennessee to Robbinsville, North Carolina in the southeastern United States. Its name is a portmanteau of Cherokee and Nantahala, the two national forests through which it passes.
    ABOUT US129 TAIL OF THE DRAGON
    The Tail of the Dragon or US Highway 129 is one of the most heavily traveled sport bike and car enthusiast roads with its 318 curves in 11 miles; located in Robbinsville North Carolina. The popular road crosses the Tennessee/North Carolina State line is considered by many as one of the world‘s most favorite motorcycle and sports car roads.
    The Tail of the Dragon starts in North Carolina by what they call the "Fugitive" dam or Cheoh Dam. Harrison Ford jumps off the dam in the movie Fugitive. The dam and old single lane bridge were also in the 1974 movie "Two Lane Blacktop". The other end of the Tail of the Dragon finishes 14 miles away in Tennessee at the Tabacat Creek Bridge.

    I rode the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway with my brother about 10 years ago when I got my first Harley. Loved the Skyway, that ride was amazing. The Dragon was definitely a bit more difficult but what really made it a bummer was the road was closed at the top so we had to turn around and ride it back down to Deals Gap. Good times.

      No way, that's awesome!!! We're glad we were able to find that place. Initially, we had planned to push through to Robbinsville the night prior, but it got dark before we reached the Cherohala Skyway. When we tried to rent some cabins, everything was shut down and we thought we may be sh*t out of luck for a place to stay, but Teresa saw a sign for the Lodge at Tellico and it ended up being our favorite stay from the trip. Good times!

    Great video! I've been riding to North Carolina from Texas every year since 2019. Just got back 2 weeks ago. Dragon is a great ride. Do it during the week because it is a dangerous road. Sport cars and inexperienced riders coming into your lane is what makes it dangerous. You have to really look into your corners and be prepared. Have you been to Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley? You were only about 70 or so miles away and it's a must see! Highway 28 (The Moonshiner) is a fantastic ride. Hell, every road in that area is great!
