It was lots of fun but can be very crowded. There are plenty of other roads in the area that are less crowded and just as fun. I wish I could remember the highway numbers but I can't. Just ask around once you get up there. Lots of nice folks in the area.

We were just in Little Switzerland last month with the Blue Ridge Boxster Summit. Many great roads in the area. Rt.226 up to the Switzerland Inn is a lot of fun. Good pavement and not too much traffic.

Great drive for me two years ago, never saw LE.

More info here: Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap

I also recommend Diamondback 226 (routes in the site above).
Diamondback 226 ? Motorcycle and Sportcar Touring Routes near Little Switzerland and Blue Ridge Parkway North Carolina Drive from South to North (clockwise) going up the mountain, or you will be white-knuckled 20 mph going down.

NC 80 is a great drive, too. And NC 194 between Vilas and Banner Elk, I had to pull over and get my breath back after driving that.
