Back Of The Dragon!

If you are a motorcyclist or drive a sports car, you might be familiar with the route called "Back Of The Dragon."  It twists and turns as it follows Virginia State Route 16 from Marion past Hungry Mother State Park to Tazewell through gorgeous territory.



There are about 260 curves on this route of 32 miles.  I highly recommend it whether you are in a car or on a motorcyle.  I shot these photos of Thompson Valley from an overlook just east of Clinch Mountain.
