Ride the Dragon. Deal's Gap is the start of the Tail of the Dragon: 318 curves in 11 miles! This is one exciting motorcycle ride, but caged vehicles (cars) also have fun. When you get to the top, be sure to snap a selfie with the beautiful mountain scene behind you. Make sure to visit the Tree of Shame, where you will see what is left of those who were defeated by the dragon!
