The Hellbender US 28

DISTANCE: 22 miles

ELEVATION: 2,667 ft (Bee Cove Knob)

PACE NOTES: This one belongs all to North Carolina. It only seems fair to hand one of our roads to the neighbouring state given we cheekily crossed over at the end of the Dragon. This road starts where the Dragon ends and has sweeping curves and drop offs. The entire stretch is surrounded by water and dense, forested mountains. Curve factor: 8/10
