I've found a couple of alternate routes to consider "mixing" in with our traditional Northern & Southern routes. Look over the attached files and see what you think. These routes offer both spirited "sweepers & hairpins", along with a nice drive along BRP. Several lookouts and scenic spots are scatterred throughout. If you haven't been to Chimney Rock, it's a hoot all by itself. (Note: The movie Last of the Mohicans was filmed there.)

Great routes. The entire area is a stunning example of great roads, but maps and commentary are always nice to have
