    The Scorpion offers twisty roads and mountain climbs along scenic backroads leading through Bure's Garden, known as "God's Thumbprint" for the bowl-shaped valley carved into a mountain top. Rolling farmland, verdant valleys and charming country stores greet you on these winding roads.

    • ABR Bootlegger Logo

    Appalachian Backroads – Bootlegger

    The bootlegging trade flourished in these Appalachian Mountains and led directly to the "lawless decade" of the 1920s. Mountain folks utilized the curvy backroads and their knowledge of hard-to-find locations to get around the revenuers. Bootlegger's Run takes you from Grundy to small towns of West Virginia and back. 145 miles of back road awesome just waiting for you to ride.
