THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON & CHEROHALA SKYWAY: Two of the BEST roads in the USA

[@haroldcale4767]

I love to travel across states too. Went from KY to CA and back, Went from KY to Fl. many times in my yrs and now at 75 when my bills are paid I'll do it again. See the 48 States of America when you can. Time is running short and we are now in the last days before Christ returns. Sharing the good news of the plan of salvation in Christ is the best any one can do in these last days. God bless.

[@Got2Go]

Sounds like a good plan, to do it all again!!!

[@JayBD626]

Amen, Brother Harold!

[@lisalangley8292]

I’ve done both. Cherahola Skyway is my favorite ride . It’s simply beautiful and so peaceful.

[@ellobo1326]

Same here 👍

[@johnasbury9915]

It’s like the BlueRidge Parkway but without most of the traffic. I love this area and am so glad I live here!

[@joseraulmurciaprieto7414]

I adore your travels, you are a very beatyful and brave woman

[@Got2Go]

Thank you!

[@TBdown70]

I have done both a lot of times but.last year did the Trans American trial also known as the TAT and came threw there on my ADV bike and still had a blast it is a fun ride and lot.of nice People along the way

[@adventureswithjess6321]

The Skyway looks awesome!

[@Got2Go]

It is 😍

[@danpoczynek]

My favorite ride of all time in the USA is Bear tooth pass, its 59 miles long nothing but switch backs and part of the ride is about 10,000 foot elevation above the glaciers. you find the road at the northeast entrance or exit of Yellowstone national park heading to Red Lodge Montana

[@Got2Go]

I did that one on my worldtrip and as well enjoyed it a lot! A beautiful ride!!!

[@bmc81]

Apparently this person does not know that the Beartooth Highway, South of Red Lodge, MT is the most famous highway of all. News commentators have talked about this ride for years before the Tail of The Dragon ever was mentioned. I live close to this and it is beautiful and the switchbacks are not for the faint of heart. I have also ridden the Tail and it's not as much fun as the Beartooth. You can actually go much faster on this one. Plus the altitude climb from 5568 ft to 10947 ft at the top(which is above timber line) is priceless. Have fun and ride safe which ever one you ride!!

[@bedlamite42]

I rode Beartooth once several years ago. It was early June, and an unexpected storm started closing mountain passes, leaving that as our only way East. I'd love to go back when it's warmer than 33 degrees F, at least the sleet wasn't freezing on the ground.

[@nevertoopoortotour.3033]

I'm going to have to check it out when I head West

[@bmc81]

@@bedlamite42 You can expect any kind of weather on top of the Beartooth Highway during the summer. The top is over 10,000' in elevation. I have never been warm on that ride no matter what time of year I go over it. You have to understand you are above timberline at the top, which means no tree's grow there and the wind usually howls like a big dog!!! LOL!!!

[@adcraziness1501]

You rode the famous sections of road, but the roads are like this pretty much everywhere. Living in this area has been a wonderful blessing, I have found so many little "mini dragons" and truly stunning roads with rivers falling over rocks right by the road for miles, and it's not famous at all it's just a random road. There's all kinds of gravel maintenance roads that wind up the side of a mountain and bring you up to the top where you can see everything.

[@davec.3198]

I lived in Greenville SC and road every weekend for 2 years. I was just scratching the surface! Truly and amazing place to live as a rider.

[@RARenfield]

The drive from Anderson, SC on hwy 28 through Highlands, NC is every bit as cool as the Dragon itself. Maybe better, because it's not swarming with tourists. I have driven it many times. This whole area is ripe with mountain roads that offer beauty and challenges.

[@antoniotrew8131]

STAR Mountain is a good little windy road that's in Tellico Plains

[@michaelmachado2572]

I live 10 minutes from the Dragon here in Maryville. Still love it every chance I get to run it.

[@karenallen5208]

I've ridden the Dragon once and the Cherohala several times. I found the Dragon actually a little more relaxing because there were times I could go straight in between curves. The Cherohala it seems is one curve after another, but they're both beautiful and worth the trip. Truly, though the Cherohala is more scenic because of the open areas where you get a better view the mountains. My most memorable ride of the Cherohala was when my GPS I used years ago called Pocket Looks kept telling me to turn right, and I looked over the side of the mountain and said, "I don't think so," and couldn't wait to get to the end of the ride and turn that thing off. LOL

[@Baribrotzer]

The Skyway is amazing, and you can drive (or ride) it at something more than a crawl.

[@mathiaskraushaar4853]

[@guylehman9482]

I was only able to ride those roads 1 time. Thanks for the views. now I need to go back. Beautiful

[@62639092]

I'm from Mississippi and have ridden Bear tooth pass (beautiful), the Dragon and Cherahola Skyway. All are great in their own way, but overall I take the Skyway every time especially in spring or fall. Love the videos, thanks!

[@timheywood7521]

As someone who has done both multiple times (I'm Scottish and live in Scotland) the Skyway is way better than the Dragon. Your assessment of the Dragon is spot on!

[@PremPS1000LE]

I agree 100% about the Skyway being a much better ride than the TOTD. Not as many idiots. These clowns wouldn't last but a few kilometers here in the mountains of Thailand, which makes the Dragon look like the Autobahn.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

@@PremPS1000LE The fast, ridiculously twisty stuff in the United States and Canada is all on the western side of the North American continent. Appalachians are foothills compared to the Sierra Nevadas, Cascades and Rockies in both height and duration. Their popularity has more to do with the limited resources of the region and an overabundance of people elevating a section of road to legend status, than the Dragon being best riding in the US. Far, far from it.

I was running these roads way before they were famous. Back in the '80s.

[@ryanmalone2681]

Would love to see a video in the Black Forest. When I lived in Zurich, I used to haul ass on the Autobahn and then ride all day on those amazing roads. So beautiful and the Police are very tolerant of speed as long as you ride responsibly.

[@Got2Go]

Yes I have to make a video of that region too!

[@s.t.entertainmentreviews7506]

The quality, content and your delivery are superb! One of the best and most enjoyable videos I have seen!! Thank you!

[@markmath2883]

I am about 200 miles from the Cherohala and Dragon so have ridden them many times. I have also ridden the Alps and last Summer as many of the great roads as possible (Beartooth, GTSR, Chief Joseph). Each road has it’s advantages and disadvantages. I appreciate each one for what it is and enjoy them immensely. My advice from someone who has been riding since 1971: make your bucket list of rides and then get on the your bike and ride them. Life is short. Great photography!

[@Got2Go]

That’s exactly how I do it! Even though for me it’s more countries and places on my bucket list, mostly not roads.

[@nikoscosmos]

Lots and lots of trees and well done for not landing your drone in one!

[@Got2Go]

😂😂😂 that’s always my biggest fear and I already managed to do so several times. So now I always try to fly it very high…

Yes, always drive safe - I think many on the dragon just overestimate their skills 🥶
