Written Directions

This route doesn't start in a particular town so the easiest way to describe it is for you to find the town nearest to the start point which is Cleveland, SC. From Cleveland you head north on Hwy 276 which at this point is also merged with Hwy 11. Heading north will take you towards North Carolina (and Caesars Head State Park) and in just about 5 miles you'll see where Hwy 11 and Hwy 276 splits to the right. It is here where the route starts. No follow this awesome road the 6 miles into Caesars Head State Park and up to the top of the mountain which is the end of this route. If however you want to keep going, by all means, keep right on riding through the state park and eventually into North Carolina.

Scenery

During the summertime expect not to see much other than many trees as you climb to the top of the mountain. However, in Fall or Winter the scenery changes completely as the foliage is reduced and the sweeping views of Upstate SC become available.

Road Quality

Starting from Hwy 11, Caesar's Head (Hwy 276) is approx. 5 miles up and twisty to the peak of the mountain. Expect a few potholes in a couple of the turns, but overall the pavement is in good condition. This road is mixed with sweepers and tight hairpins and decreasing radius turns. An enjoyable challenge for any motorcyclist.

Roadside Amenities

At the top of the mountain is the Caesar's Head St Park HQ. Its nothing more than a gift shop with restrooms and a brief history of the area. You'll find a quick snack or drink up here as well. Continue along hwy 276 into NC to find the next gas station or restaurant.

Comment: Hiway 276 from the NC-SC state line has been totally repaved from Ceasar's Head down into Brevard, NC fall 2008. Super smooth but still twisty so watch your speed as you will want to ride faster than the road will allow.
