Great Smoky US441 - By Anthony C

I didn’t take route 441 to Gatlinburg from Deals Gap. I took the tail of the Dragon and went north west then East. I don’t remember the route #’s but it was beautiful, and I could cruise at the same time on a snake like road. I kept a speed of 45 to 50 for about 15 miles because the road allowed me to do so. The weather was iffy so I went back the same way and got caught in a terrible storm right on the Dragon. I was on the edge of my seat. I was staying at Deals Gap Motorcycle Lodge. Very nice place I might add. The next time I return I want to ride the Cherohala Skyway, I’m told it’s 43 miles of beautiful riding. Route 143/165. From Robbinsville, NC to Tellico Plains, TN.
