Back of the dragon
Back of the Dragon (HWY 16) runs between Marion and Tazewell and is the only designated motorcycle road in the state of VA. Back of the Dragon is over 30 miles long and has over 400 curves. Back of the Dragon runs through three mountain ranges offering over 3500 feet of elevation changes. This unique road's features along with the amazing views blows the tail and others away!
Burke's garden
Burke's Garden is well known as God's Thumbprint. This valley is one of the highest in Virginia sitting at an elevation of 3,000 ft. Due to it's shape, a common misconception of Burke's Garden is that it is an ancient dormant volcano. While in fact, Burke's Garden was created by the colapse of limestone caverns. Make sure to stop by Mattie's Pies and explore the 12 mile scenic loop. The road up to Burke's Garden is similar to the Tail as it is constant turns and many switchbacks but with a much better view at the end.
