Picked it up off Facebook, so maybe not our MC Tail of the Dragon in TN/NC

East Tennessee and Western NC are have spectacular color in foilage this year, once in lifetime kind of color.

That road looks more European to me with all of the white stripes. I've never been to tail of the dragon but I really like Hwy 20, the North Cascades Hwy here in WA and US-12 between Lewiston ID and Missoula MT which has about 190 miles of curves.  8)

Might be a Nikko, Japan image that shows up in some articles about the Tail of the Dragon...

At any rate, Cherohola Highway, Blue Ridge Parkway, and other roads would be great to do this year if near by...
