Nothing
is better than riding through the woods, along waterfalls.
This road will take you to four water falls, three of them
are easy access to. You can drive you vehicle under Bridal
Veil, you can walk under Dry Falls, and the other I can't
spell, you can see from the road. Glenn Falls requires some
walking.

Road Quality:

If
you like turns, switch backs, nice black top, this is the
road for you. Most people like the Dragons Tail or Deal's
Gap, I like this road better. Less traffic and safer.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
There
are no shopping, camping, restaurants. However, along US
highway 74 there are plenty of amenities and if you continue
on Route 28 south as it passes through Franklin and merges
with Highway 64, you can take this into Cashiers where you
will find gas stations, food stops, etc. Close to the bottom
of route 28 there is a Gem Store and they will give you
a FREE MAP of all the waterfalls in the area. Stop in and
get a FREE MAP. Take the entire trip down route 28 then
follow the road into Cashiers for lunch and gas. Let me
know what you think about this road, I believe it to be
one of the best roads I've ever been on in North Carolina
and that includes the Dragon's Tail. This is my fifth year
going to N.C. to ride. My friends and I know N.C. (Maggie
Valley area) pretty well by now. Email me at:  .
