Rolling farmland, verdant valleys and charming country stores greet you on these winding roads. While in Pocahontas, take a tour of the Exhibition Mine, where the coal that fueled the Navy during WWII was mined.

Capture the views atop the Cedar Bluff Overlook, which provides a stunning perspective any time of year. This is a 92 mile loop with plenty to see and do.
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.
