Back of the Dragon (VA-16)
Marion to Tazewell. **32 miles, ~438 curves, 3,500 ft of elevation change.** Virginia's only state-designated motorcycle route, pavement swept clean for riders. Welcome Center in Tazewell. **Better mix of tight switchbacks AND open sweeping sections than the Tail of the Dragon — and more bagger-friendly.**
