Starting in West Virginia, you can check out the local restaurants in Elkins. Famous establishments include El Gran Sabor, C.J. Maggie’s, Jimbo’s Place, etc. Heading southward, you will eventually enter the northwestern section of Monongahela National Forest.
On the West Virginia portion of the route, you will pass by the Valley Bend Wetland Wildlife Management Area, Cheat Wildlife Management Area, Barton Knob, Gaudineer Knob.
After crossing over into Virginia, you will be able to catch sight of Sounding Knob Fire Tower, McDowell Battlefield, and Fort Edward Johnson.
Much of your surroundings will be forests and valleys with the roads hugging close to rocky creek beds. As you travel through the wilderness, there will be breaks in the rise and falls of the road when heading in the direction of the mountains and valleys.
Because of the erratic design of the road, you will have to be careful when encountering switchbacks, tight corners, and elevation changes. This route is recommended for experienced riders due to the surface of the route being well kept.
