Written Directions

From Cosby Tennessee take TN 32 to Waterville Road, Mt Sterling North Carolina

Scenery

You will be riding thru the Cherokee National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Drive Enjoyment

The road is almost prefect with virtually no traffic,except for the last 1.6 miles.The pucker factor is that last 1.6 miles is a down grade of about 10% on dirt, so don't ride in the rain or shortly after a rain. Overall it is mostly twisties with altitude changes.

Tourism Opportunities

None

Motorcycle Road Additional info

To me it is one of the best roads I have ever been on. I also really enjoyed that last 1.6 miles.

Traveling from Gatlinburg heading east or north on Rt. 321 I took a right on Rt.32, Wow was I in for a nice surprise, this is as good as Tail Of The Dragon, as mentioned in previous reviews the last 1.6 miles is dirt, no issues navigating that section of road...even with Big Bikes. I highly recommend this route to all. Windy, Shady and the rhododendron were in bloom made for a spectacular ride.

Quite possibly the twistiest paved Road in the Smoky Mountains. It's so twisty that it's arguably more fun in a car just because of how much you have to slow down through each turn on a motorcycle. Regardless of whether you're going by car or motorcycle this ride is pure insanity. I recommended strongly to anyone that will be down in that area. In my video posted above we went down to it from Tennessee turned around when it turned to gravel and went back out the way we came. I recommend this way.

The Tail of the Younger Dragon, I guess. This is what the TotD was like 25 years ago before word got out about it, and ruined it with crushing amounts of traffic, retarded speed limits and tourism. Just a completely insane twisty road with no apologies, no amenities, no relief. For max fun come at it from TN, ride it until it turns to dirt, turn around and do it again. It sure because messing around with dirt if you have some race replica or tourer bike. PROPER twisties, right here. No fluff.
