Football, family bonfires, and beautiful sunsets. What else could make fall the best time of the year? I know! How’s about taking the motorcycle out one more time before holiday traffic hits and winter sets in.

Whether you’re planning a quick weekend getaway or you’re down for an all-out road trip, we’ve got you covered with a list of our favorite routes to ride a motorcycle this fall.

4 Of the Best Fall Motorcycle Rides in The Southeast U.S.

Tail of the Dragon – Tennessee & North Carolina

Officially designated as US 129, the Tail of the Dragon is nestled between the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest. With 318 thrilling turns and curves packed into just 11 miles, there’s no wonder the Tail of the Dragon is dubbed America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. This route isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll find turns with names like Copperhead Corner, Wheelie Hell, and Brake or Bust Bend that will test your skills as a rider.

Blue Ridge Parkway – North Carolina & Virginia

Known as America’s Favorite Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway spans 469 miles of scenic roadway. This route connects the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. If you’re looking for a relaxing ride with plenty of stuff to do along the way, check out the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Pig Trail Scenic Byway – Arkansas

The Pig Trail is a 19 mile stretch of exciting hairpin turns. The road is surrounded by a tunnel of trees in the Ozark National Forest. The Pig Trail is a popular route for people headed to the University of Arkansas to watch the Razorback football team. When you’re done exploring the Pig Trail, you can visit the Ozark Highlands and Mount Magazine.

Skyline Drive – Virginia

Skyline Drive starts in the north of the Shenandoah Valley Park and spans the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This 105-mile-long drive connects to all the major visitor centers, campgrounds, lodges, picnic areas, and trailheads. Skyline Drive also leads to the Blue Ridge Parkway to kick off the ultimate fall time road trip.
