Anyone here familiar with the "Back of the Dragon"
 

Did the Tail of the dragon last year, recently heard of the "Back of the Dragon" route 16 from Tazeville, Va to Marion, VA. I was curious who has been on it, and is it worth the 6 hr road trip for me on a weekend.......

190 views, and no one has been to this place? Hmmm. maybe its not worth the trip after all.

I haven't been on it, but I was curious about it once you talked about it. It could be a fun detour on the way down to ZDAYZ this year. I'll be driving my Jeep, so I might skip it. If someone does check it out on the way to/from ZDAYZ, please let us all know how it is!

I do a trip down to eastern KY almost every year. This might be worth checking out. More curves for your money and less traffic than the dragon area.

I haven't driven the back of the dragon, however; last year on my trip to Zdayz with Khoi and FP, Khoi's car had an issue and we drove from exit 168 off 81 all the way to lynchburg Va and back to get his car back up and running. Khoi can vouch for the legitimacy of these roads. They were a lot of fun and only around 4 hours away.

The address I am about to post is just a reference to the area we drove. Just zoom out and you'll get the idea.
