Scenery
This route starts out along a mixture of small farms/pasture land with a view of Hanging Rock. The road meanders through sweeping curves through this type of scenery for about 4 miles before entering heavily wooded twisties and climbing Brown Mountain.
The twistiest section is in the souther half of the route.
Drive Enjoyment
The southern part of this route is in great shape,I'd give it 5 stars. About 3 miles into the route, the road has been repaved in 2014 and is in good condition compared to what it used to be. The repaved section is 4.5 stars, with some undulation and a bit of sparsely spread fresh gravel in the turns. Until the repaving of the northern section in 2014, this road was down-right scary on a sport bike. Now it's a great ride.The corners are NOT well marked and once you hit the tighter turns NONE have a suggested speed limit to judge what is coming up, and many don't have any turn markers at all.
Tourism Opportunities
There are no amenities of any kind along this road. You can follow Hwy 89 west at the end of the route to the town of Westfield where there is Westfield Superette station.
