318 curves in 11 miles. Zero intersections. The driver's road.
Three hundred and eighteen curves in eleven miles. US 129 through Deals Gap on the Tennessee-North Carolina border is the road that car enthusiasts and motorcyclists travel thousands of miles to drive. No intersections, no driveways, no distractions — just pure, relentless curves through the Great Smoky Mountains. The Tree of Shame at Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort displays parts from vehicles that didn't make it. It's not scenic in the traditional sense — it's a driver's road, built for the steering wheel, not the camera.
