This climb is a challenging road biking ascent through the Appalachian Mountains. You'll immediately begin climbing, ascending approximately 2,950 feet over about 8.2 miles to reach the Lickstone Ridge Overlook at around 5,150 feet, with a steep average gradient near 6.8% and sections hitting double digits. As you push upwards through dense forests, you'll pass through several tunnels and be rewarded with increasingly dramatic views of the surrounding mountain landscape and valleys from various overlooks, including the expansive vista from the Lickstone Ridge Overlook.
