This enjoyable rural route runs along the Upper Yadkin River from the rolling Brushy Mountains near Wilkesboro to the foothills and mountains of Pisgah National Forest. Spend some time winding through the pastures and farmlands of North Carolina before entering "Happy Valley," home to Revolutionary War hero General Lenoir. The drive will end near the base of Pisgah National Forest, a gem in its own right.
