This byway on US 421 is sandwiched between the towns of Boone and Deep Gap, and while it is short, it is packed with vistas of the Appalachian Mountains, rivers and towns. At the Boone foothills, Snake Mountain and Elk Knob, part of the Amphibolite Range, stand in the distance, and closer by Fraser Firs fill the Christmas tree farms for which the area is known.
