Deals Gap — Local services in Snowbird Community

The Deals Gap is located at the US-129, just at the beginning of the challenging The tail of the Dragon route. People from all over the world comes to challenge the death by ride their motorcycles or racing their cars snaking through the 318 curves in the 11 miles of this dangerous route. If you make a mistake the cliffs are the unavoidable direction and many already lost their lives trying to tame the Drago beast. We managed to ride for the 4th time (2 going uphill & 2 coming downhill) every single time the adrenaline goes sky high. The route is located in between North Carolina and Tennessee and a desired challenge for those who love emotions in hi speed. The Deals Gap is the closer gas station and souvenires...

We came, we saw, we drove. People have to remember, this isn't a race track, it is still a public road, but the motorcycles think it is THEIR road. Drove it in the morning on Sept 2 thinking the traffic would be less with people back to school and work. Wasn't too bad going in 1 direction, but when we turned and drove back the 2nd time with my son driving, turned out we were in the middle of qualifying heats, not really but you get it.... 3 bikes roared up on us from behind and decided not to wait for an opening and passed us on a blind corner and the last of them nearly clipping the front of the car.. Other than that, great area, drive safe and keep both hands on the wheel, easy on...

Fun place if you like motorcycles. Make sure that your gas tank is full, and stay alert. It doesn't matter which way you come into Deals Gap, the roads are curvy, very sharp bends, and steep. You cruiser guys are probably going to drag your pegs and maybe your tail pipes, so be aware. If you've lowered your bike, you're probably not going to like the road up there at all. Other than grab a tshirt and look around, there's really not much to do when you get there. It's more of the journey kind of thing, not the destination. You'll enjoy the experience. Have fun, stay alert, be safe. You might want to check out Maggie Valley while you're in the neighborhood. ...
