Abstract:
U.S. Highway 276 is considered one of the most beautiful drives in North Carolina. The two-lane road crosses the South-North Carolina board 13 miles south of Brevard and winds for 63 miles through Dupont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest until it meets Interstate 40 near Waynesville. The scenic drive brings travelers close to Cold Mountain, Looking Glass Falls, and Connestee Falls, as well as other natural landmarks.
