Richland Creek

Tail of the Dragon
Spanning a distance of 11 miles between Tennessee and North Carolina, this section of US-129 features 318 curves and is known as the Tail of the Dragon. It’s been called “America’s most exciting 11 miles“, a potentially dangerous drive requiring attentiveness to safety and a sense of caution.
Unfortunately, many motorcycles and automobiles have crashed along this road, as some have sought to complete the route as fast as possible. And, of course, many of the turns have very limited (or no) visibility. So, please remain in your lane while driving, and enjoy the ride!

Return to the Laurel-Snow Trail
Located in a gorge along Richland Creek in Dayton, Tennessee, the Laurel-Snow Trail provides hikers with many scenic landscapes, waterfalls and rocky waterways. During the early 1900’s, the area was home to the Dayton Coal & Iron Company, with many remnants from that era still intact today – mine shafts, arches, retaining walls, structural supports of old railways, etc..
The park also has many massive rocks scattered along the creek, including this 40-foot tall boulder (see photograph). Though the water was low during my recent visit, this affords one the opportunity to more closely explore the creek bed. If you haven’t hiked this area, you really should check it out…there’s so much to see!
Fine prints and more are available in my gallery at Pixels. So, stop by to find the perfect accent piece for a wall in your home or workplace – or, as a gift!
