Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort sits at the southern end of the Tail of the Dragon, on the NC/TN line. It's the de facto basecamp for riders working the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and Hellbender 28.
What's there
- Motel-style lodging with motorcycle parking right outside the rooms
- A restaurant + general store + souvenir shop
- The Tree of Shame — a tree decorated with motorcycle parts pulled from wrecks on the Dragon
- Killboy photo viewing kiosks (where you can find your photos from the day's ride)
Book well in advance for weekends in summer/fall. Mid-week visits are calmer and easier to score a room.
