Thanks for the list and links! I'll be going thru that area in June, have already done the Tail about a dozen times, think I'll focus on other roads this time.

 

Thanks. Wife and I with another couple have a trip planned for the BRP last week of June. What's your thoughts on staying in the Little Switzerland lodge?

 

Rode the snake the other day on my RK. It can get tiring, better suited for my long gone '05 Bonneville. There are some bad patches of pavement on the Shady Valley end, but the best part is that there is very little traffic. Lots of curves with changes of elevation thrown in.

A link to a good site for the area. You can download maps. I have picked up a hard copy fold out of the map at a local dealer.

 

A lot of neat little places to stay in Little Switzerland! Good location.

 

I don't even do the Tail anymore. Great technical road, but unless you can run it midweek, just too crowded for my taste now. Lots of others are just as fun in the area.

 

Great area to ride. Maggie Valley NC is awesome and the best place to have your base camp (hotel). Very biker friendly and close to all of those great rides.


I have ridden The Dragon several times through the years, and frankly I think it's a bit overrated.

 

Exactly what The Wife & I have done/reserved this August.
I've been to that area 1 time and Maggie Valley seemed to be a good place to start off. And, we're staying right across the street from Joey's - which wasn't on accident. lol

 

First week in October...can't wait!
