Default Dragon run maps?

Anyone have a map of the specific run?

Everyone asks me about it and I wanted to get a better feel for the run area, type, and other such things a mapquest map can show.

It's an 11 mile 2 lane road. When you get to the end, you turn around. Repeat

I get all that, just wondering about the more specific location of this 11 mile roadway.

"Yahoo Maps" will show you a good one! Also, go their website "Tail of the Dragon.com"

You will have a total of 3 detailed maps in your event guide. One shows from the hotel to the Dragon/Fontana. The other shows from the Dragon/Fontana into Cherohala Skyway.
