Many bikers have heard of this 11-mile stretch of Hwy 129. I 1st heard of it at different swap meets and bikers I met who've rode this, so I felt like I needed to give it a go. Am I glad I did!
I stayed overnight nearby and took Hwy 28 out of Franklin to Hwy 143 for gas in...

Let me start by saying I am 68 and my wife is 65. And we drive a Ford Five Hundred sedan.
We had visited a good friend in North Carolina and wanted to get back home to Indiana. My brother-in-law and sister had brought their 'Vette down and ran the Tail last year and raved about it. The options to...

The most amazing ride anyone could ever want to take. Enjoyable for all ages. The fall is a beautiful time for a ride. Less traveled than the parkway an the beauty is wonderful.

I had never heard of it when I saw the route on the TN state map several years ago. I drove it in our family car since there was no alternative once we started. There are 318 switchback curves in 11 miles, and it ends in NC. It is TN 129 at the west end of the Smokies.

Great scenery but lots of traffic. Mostly bikers so watch out.

the view is spectacular, you may see many different types of vehicles and motorcycles . CURVES ARE AMAZING. Long trip, but a once in a lifetime experience that you don't want to miss. Take food and drinks. Also if you get carsick - you probably will. Young kids will get bored.

The cops know all about it, too, don't you worry 'bout that none! I noticed the first time I went that the...

What a thrilling ride! We were in our Nissan 350Z, I videotaped it and it's nearly as much fun watching it again, and hearing our nervous laughter and comments. Beautiful views, dangerous curves, and some crazy riders out there! Be careful and enjoy it - there have been many accidents, as The Tree of Shame at Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort...

We went up over the weekend and had fun. We enjoyed the sights and people. The views were beautiful and the people were awesome! Only problem we had was when an idiot in a yellow convertable thought it was ok to stop in a blind curve just to make out with his woman in front of the camera guy. He...
