Scenery

Beautiful farm country with lots of rolling hills and a mixture of turns including long sweeping, sharp, and some ganrly twistys. Starts out heading towards the mountains with lots of valleys and exciting elevation changes. Gorgeous mountain and field views with spots of shade trees along the way. Come down from the mountains and pop out in Culpepper, making your way back around through more rolling hills and a few nice straight aways. Very relaxing and great for cruising

Drive Enjoyment

Mostly one lane roads that have been very well maintained despite being country roads that don't receive much traffic. Good visibility through a wide variety of turns, a few sharp corners to look out for but they are all labeled fairly well. Steeper hills to start out with that mellow out towards the end of the route. Watch out for gravel coming from some of the driveways.

Tourism Opportunities

There are lots of little restaurants/cafes dotted along the country roads, as well as historic landmarks and battlefields. Many attractions in the towns of Warrenton and Culpepper, including some motorcycle hangouts (often times with live music!) Also the inn at Kelly's Ford is a great destination with a very good restaurant/bar.
