The Woodbooger is called Big Foot in other parts of the nation. It lives in the highlands near Norton and is memorialized by the Woodbooger statue at Flag Rock, which provides panoramic views and hiking trails. After your photo op, tackle the curvy climb to High Knob. This 154-mile route takes you from Pikeville, Kentucky down to Cumberland, over to Appalachia, Virginia, through Big Stone Gap before you hit High Knob where you can spy where you've just journeyed from the fire tower overlook. The view is amazing!!!

This 76-mile backroads route takes you through Natural Tunnel State Park, the Jefferson National Forest to the Trail of the Lonesome Pine - Virginia's Official Outdoor Drama. Along the way, you'll wind through some of the most impressive valleys and their expansive views.

Cumberland to Appalachia crosses Black Mountain at the highest point in Kentucky and is aptly named the Coalfield Black Snake run. Black Snakes are in abundance in this coal region and you're likely to catch a glimpse of snakes sunbathing on the road during the summer months. This route is approximately 129 miles of breathtaking views of Virginia and Kentucky.
