The Dragon and Cherohala Loop contains 2 of the most famous roads in North America, the Cherohala Skyway and the Tail of the Dragon (Hwy 129). This loop is a full day ride and riders will get a workout. The Cherohala Skyway portion is a great warmup, providing elevation changes and sweeping curves to get the blood going. The pass through the Tail of the Dragon is made from North to South and provides a challenging ride. This road can be heavily travelled at times and riding in this direction puts the rider on the ‘downhill’ side of the road, so take care to not run wide on the corners.
