Trail of the Lonesome Pine

MotorcycleRoads.com to MotorcycleRoads.com

Route 160 starts in Cumberland KY. off Route 119. Note this is NOT Cumberland Gap which is several miles to the south. Once out of the small towns of Cumberland and Lynch Rt 160 twists and climbs to the highest point in KY, then twists and drops to Appalachia Va. ending at route 23. There isn't much in the area besides the this road. But it is worth getting to. If you like lean angles you'll love route 160.

The scenery should be great but the lack of turn outs to see the views limit this to just OK. While riding there is no time to look around, you have to watch for the next turn.

It is because of this route's "motorcycle road quality" that I submitted it. Simply great twists up one side to the highest point in KY and down the other. More fun than the Dragon.

There is nothing here but the road.
