About
NC 28 from Deals Gap to Stecoah — the Dragon's quieter neighbour and, to a lot of locals, the better drive. Around 190 curves in 18 miles with far less traffic, running past Fontana Dam and the edge of the Nantahala. Long sightlines between the corners make it flow where the Dragon fights you.
