The Head of the Dragon Loop is a stunning ride located in Southern West Virginia.
The Head of the Dragon Loop supplies a constant stream of curves and switchbacks along the entire route. This part of the country is extremely mountainous so the roads and streams are constantly zigging and zagging back and forth between the different hills and peaks.
If you want to experience the natural beauty of West Virginia as well as some amazing roads, be sure to check out the Head of the Dragon!
