Deals Gap is a classic mountain road junction on the Tail of the Dragon—built for curving perspectives, dramatic ridgelines, and moody fog or sunset skies. Watch for motorcyclists and long-exposure trails near pull-offs. Best light: sunrise for crisp ridges; golden hour for warm road color. Expect crowds on weekends.
