A road in North Carolina has been named the #1 Scariest Drive in America, according to SAVOTEUR.

The Tail of the Dragon, which begins at the Deals Gap on the Tennessee/North Carolina state line, is a remote, long, twisting road with 318 curves, 11 bridges, and few guardrails.

It begins in North Carolina at the intersection of Highways 28 and 129 and ends at the Tabcat Creek Bridge in Tennessee.

It was initially promoted as a perfect road trip for motorcycle enthusiasts, however many drivers enjoy the thrills year-round.

The Tail of the Dragon is one of 15 Scariest Drives in America, including roads in Colorado, Utah, and Alaska.

You all have clearly never been to any part of Colorado have you?! Or the Hanna highway in Maui. Good god! You all really need to travel more. 14k ft with nothing but a cliff and one lane with switchbacks. That will scare the shit out of you. Especially in the snow! Casper mountain in Wyoming has to be one of the scariest roads I have ever been on and absolutely no guard rails. It is a steep incline in the snow with switchbacks. Google how many die there. These hills in NC are nothing.
