The Secret Blue-Ridge Mountain Northern Stretch - By CVO Dave

I like this road and try to hit it when I'm in the area. There are no views from the road but it has a couple of places along where you can stop and get great views with a very short walk. One is Bears Den. It's an old home that has been converted to be used a a hostel for Appelachain Trail hikers. Behind the home is a cliff looking to the west with great views. Another place I'll hit when on this road id The Horseshoe Curve restaurant. On thenorth end of 601 where it hits Rt 7. turn left(west) and go approx. 0.4 miles to old Rt 7 - Pine Grove road. Turn Right and go 0.3 Miles to the reataurant on the left. Nice local joint, usually has dogs laying around on the floor. Good Food. The owner's name is Tracy.
