Top Rides to Cruise Along The Diamondback - NC 226A

Riders are quick to learn why this route is called the Diamondback—its sweeping S-curves and sharp twists snake through twelve miles of forested mountainside, providing a challenging but rewarding journey up to the peak. Once there, conquerors can lock into expansive views of the valley while stopping for a quick bite or drink at local shops, such as the Blue Ridge Travelers’ Towns & Trails Visitor Center.

Top Rides to Cruise Along Devil’s Whip - NC 80

Ready for some switchbacks? Devil’s Whip climbs 2,500’ in elevation, with winding turns not for the novice rider. Travelers will enjoy slalom-style twists near the top, with delightful lake and mountain views for much of the ride. Adventure-seekers should be advised that once they depart from the entrance in Marion, there are little to no places to stop for respite. Just roads, roads, and more roads.
