Hey MM, are you sure that isn't a picture of the Aussie outback?Nope , strait off the Cherohala Sky Way search.
From Lynchburg follow hwy 55 North to the Hwy 30 junction , turn east and go all the way to Tellico Plains , then get on the sky way all the way to the Dragon. A ride on Hwy 30 will get ya ready to Slay-The-Dragon with no problem !
... There is a NC. Hwy 30 that is about the same.
I rode part of Tn.30 today (up and over Spencer Mountain) ... its about like the Dragon but with a 45mph speed limit

Lots of nice scenery. Great twisties. more...
This is how I go to the mountains over the ridges and thru the woods. more...
If you are in the Spencer, McMinnville, Cookville area you would be hard pressed to find a twistier section of road than into and out of Spencer on Route 30, particularly just east of Spencer. more...
Lots of curves on this road, don't let the map fool ya. more...
The maps show this road as fairly straight. more...
Early spring, frost & thaw. more...
Wonderfully diverse, several climbs and drops into and out of gorges, mixed with sweeping country farmland. more...
My personal favorite twisty that is close to home. more...
Beautiful scenery and excellent road, just wished they had pullover stops on the hills for pictures of the breathtaking views. more...
