Right in the heart of the Blue Ridge, this ride is gorgeous and challenging through the river canyons of Jack's Creek and then Toe River in Yancey County. The route has very little traffic, making the sounds of the rivers and the wildlife a perfect soundtrack. The ride begins as it goes next to fields and then along Jack's Creek until it intersects with Toe River. For the remainder of the ride, the road cuts through the valley made by the river and next to railroad tracks for a section. This is a large loop ride with little to no services along the way.
