Dragon Events Tail of the Dragon (Highway US129) 318 curves in 11 miles, is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road.

Can anyone give me the best route to the Dragon.

- Take I-40 into Knoxville
- Take I-140 (Pellissippi Parkway) south towards Alcoa
- Exit onto US129 South (Alcoa)
- Just pass the airport, 129 veers off to the right; stay left (this is TN 35, can't recall the street name)
- Follow 35 until it veers to the left, joining with 321 (South)
- Follow 321 for a few miles; you'll see a sign for Foothills Parkway - turn right onto Foothills
- Foothills connects 321 with US129; when Foothills ends (you'll be looking at a river), turn left onto 129. The gravel lot is 3 miles up the road.

To get home, reverse.

As an alternative (never taken it, but it looks a bit quicker possibly):

- Take I-40 towards Knoxville.
- Exit 364 - US 321
- Turn right on 321 and follow that through Maryville all the way to Foothills Parkway.

It's all small towns/suburbs, so the road may not be fast like I-140 and US129 are.
