Road 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.

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.

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.

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.
