Things to do/good drives around Spartanburg?

[Maynard]

I'm headed down to the BMW Performance center in Mid April (from Upstate NY) and wondering if anybody has ideas for must-see/must drive routes in that area. I'm already planning to add a day to do Tail of the Dragon; is it also worthwhile to add the Cherohala Trail? Thinking I may head North on one of the smaller routes like 119 or 120 (perhaps 77/79 if I stay w/ 4 lanes). Any other suggestions welcomed.

Check out dragon tail in Smokey mountains park. Nice views and nice twisties.

Not cool if it's crowded

Devil's Triangle is a nice run, and sure to be much quieter than the tail.

Cherohala is better than the Dragon IMO. There are dozens of great roads between the Robbinsville area and Spartanburg:

Wayah Road and the FS-711 spur, US-28, US-64, all of the roads around Lake Glenville, US-276, US-215, US-176, Blue Ridge Parkway.

28 south from the Dragon through Franklin and Highlands all the way to 76 then about an hour of slab till Spartanburg. More turns, less tourists.
