The Moonshiner 28 is a three-state journey from the Piedmont of South Carolina to Deal's Gap; where the famous Tail of the Dragon, North Carolina side, starts.

This video shows just a glimpse of the 103-mile-long ride featuring some terrific twistiest, broad sweepers, and unrivaled scenery. It was once one of the main runs for moonshiners with revenuers hot on their bumper.

Every turn reveals a different mountain view, a waterfall, or a remote lake. If you visit in the spring or summer, you'll experience a thick, green canopy with sporadic vistas of the mountains that perfectly capture the luscious North Carolina.

It's a little piece of heaven on earth, with tiers of mountains bordering placid rivers and mountains bathed in various shades of blue.

Western North Carolina is brimming with breathtaking routes, ideal for road trips that last all day, all afternoon, or all weekend and the Moonshiner 28 is quickly rising to the top of the must-drive or ride list.
