    Wayah Rd is a sleepy not known rd. Really good to ride. Thats a lot of really good areas, scenic views, and curvy roads. Have a good time

    +1 for Wayah Road. Many moons ago my mother cautioned me not to slip and fall into Alarka Creek. Then she proceeded to slip in. Fortunately the only thing damaged was her pride.

    The BRP will be closed off and on from 421-21 in NC starting Monday (5.15.23) and lasting about 3 years for some much needed paving.

    Yes I found out. I will just ride to 121 mile marker to the detour on the BRP. Then over night in Troutville, then to the Interstate to the next hotel . Thank you for the info MONK.

    You have quite an adventure ahead of you. I have done all of those roads at one time or another. Did the southern roads that you mention 4 weeks ago on my BMW K1600B. The weather was great, and getting 300 miles per tank was an added bonus.

    Enjoy the loop! I've done those roads on 2 and 3 wheels a few times and they are all excellent. We stopped doing Skyline when they raised the price but there are plenty of alternates on the way to the BRP head end. BRP detours are common mostly for weather issues so take this along https://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvis....4172/-81.1782
