Very nice twisty hilly technical wooded road over a pass. Perfect new pavement. Sparse houses. A surprising find.
Fantastic long mountain ridge 1.5 car widths road. Technical, twisty with steep grade changes and switchbacks. Few sections of houses. Occassional oncoming traffic. Gravel/chip seal in some corners. Deep forest, steep dropoffs and ravines. Views. Saw a group of BMW riders heading in the opposite direction. Best road of the day so far. Saw one deer in the road.
I keep forgetting that I prefer this technical little mountain road to Harpers Ferry Road. Hilly. Technical. Forested. Sparse to moderate houses. We used to own property along this road.
This is a highly technical climb over the pass with surprising and challenging decreasing radius 25mph corners. It is really easy to go wide. Be careful on this road. It's a "High Motorcycle Accident" area. It does carry a fair amount of traffic, but it is still one of our favorite roads in the wider DMV area.
I'll have to rescout this road. I'm pretty sure I remember this road as a wonderfully curvey tree lined mountain road that's one of the better ones in the area. I could have sworn I had tagged this road but that may have predated the database upgrade.
