Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap is Americas favorite two-lane tourist road. Theres no other road even close to matching the challenge of 318 curves in 11 miles of desolate Smoky Mountain asphalt. But there are other good roads to explore such as the Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner 28, Diamondback, Blue Ridge Parkway, Six Gap and the Devils Triangle.

A Short History of the Area Roads The Southern Appalachian Mountains historically have been a difficult place to settle and survive. Wildlife once dominated. Buffalo, deer, and elk carved rough trails into the desolate and dense forests. The Native Americans then followed these routes that offered not only access to food and water, but also provided the easiest paths to traverse avoiding the steepest slopes. In the late 1700s English troops followed the same paths to establish forts. Trappers and explorers soon arrived. Native Americans clashed with these early invaders and later with settlers moving into their hunting grounds. The confrontations were often bloody. The Cherokee were relocated west in the Trail of Tears of the 1830s. Some remained hiding in the dense forests and remote coves as white families began to settle the mountains. It was a rugged life, but these strong people survived the hardships and today live together in peace. The Civil War brought more bloodshed as brothers fought against brothers. Troops and gangs patrolled the same animal tracks that had been worn centuries before. The herds of wild animals, once prolific, had nearly disappeared. The foot trails widened with the use of wagons, but remained crude and difficult to traverse, especially in winter, until the early 1900s. With the advent of the automobile improvements came, first with gravel and then pavement. Interstates and 4-lane limited access highways have consumed many of these great, twisting twolanes and today threaten even more. But there are still some of these roads from the past that survive. Come and enjoy them while you can.
