Is that the stretch with the incredible view to the left as you are heading south? I’ve driven that road 40 times easy and that view is awesome...(when it’s clear and sunny).

That’s it, coming out of fairly high mountains by east coast standards down to low rolling countryside below. Pretty on a clear winter night too, the natural photochemical haze that makes the Blue Ridge blue is gone, you can see all the lights twinkling from the towns below for many miles, even the skyline of Winston-Salem close to fifty miles to the southeast.

Pilot Mountain to the south (left as you are descending).

It's an odd-shaped mountain with a circular "hump" on the eastern side.

I believe it's part of Pilot Mountain State park.

That's it. on a clear day you can see the whole piedmont valley laid out in front of you. absolutely breathtaking.

Yep, I’ve driven it several times. The view is spectacular but it’s a steep descent and the view can also be pretty distracting. When it’s clear, Fancy Gap is gorgeous, but when it’s not...
