Tail of the Dragon
 

I was wondering from those of you who have driven the TAIL, when is the best time of year to drive TAIL of the Dragon ? When is it the least crowded ?

weekdays, and honestly, avoid the tail, too much traffic and many roads almost just as good right in the area. The western Carolinas have some GREAT ROADS!

Never driven the tail, but I will say that every road out there is awesome!
If you don't want to drive that far west, US501 from Lynchburg to Durham is a great drive. At least that's what I remember.

Between Chattanooga and Greenville, SC/Charlotte, NC any of the roads going through the national parks there are great. Cherokee, Oconee, Chatahoochee, and Nantahala parks all have great roads. Blue Ridge parkway is a classic.

Had some serious fun in my box in Pickens and oconee

Mid morning weekdays has always worked for me. I like the first week of November the best when the trees are in full bloom. June last year was fun.

I plan on taking a roadtrip from Syracuse, NY to Greenville SC next fall. I will have to keep this thread in mind for that!

Greenville is great, highly suggest falls park in autumn!

Totally agree. Wife's family is all just down the road in Greer. Every time we visit we always spend a day in Greenville. May even move down that way one of these days. Seems like there are a lot of P-cars in the area and they do have a dealership.

AKL:cheers:

father actually works at the dealer, he really enjoys it. Lots of P cars around, no 911 snobbery either, everytime i pass another Porsche the owner waves or flashes their lights!
