Default WhiteOak Mtn @ Mill Spring, NC

Went with TerrySC to find this place Sunday. I went back today, Monday for the Sunset shots. Who needs to ride all the way to the Dragon? This is 25 minutes from the House!

More pics, the Falls come down right next to the road, the stream passes under the road and the Fallls continue down the Mountain. Awesome!

Yeah that was a great ride. Really enjoyed those 1st gear required switchbacks too! Never realized we had such good stuff in our own backyard.

Care to share a little more info on the road number? I can't really tell where this may be on the NC atlas I have other than somewhere off highway 9 but it sure looks inviting.

Yea just a couple of miles down 108 from hwy 9 towards Columbus. Look for Huston Road on the right going towards Columbus. White Oak Mtn Rd is off Huston Rd. Be glad to give ya a guided tour of the area. Shoot me a PM if ya interested.

Is there a redlight at the intersection of 108 & 9? And a convienence store / gas station sorta on the corner?

Edit- I just found it on a Google map. Holy smokes, what a road. I'll get there soon, I hope.

I'm going to try to get back up there soon and go up Skyuka Mountain Rd and take White Oak Mountain back down. Probably this weekend. Give me a shout and maybe we can hook up.
