Davidson River marks the southern start of the Art Loeb Trail. It’s a good spot to filter water before the climb ahead. Expect a gradual but steady ascent as you leave the valley and head into the forested hills. This is a popular fly-fishing spot with crystal-clear waters and abundant trout, including brown, brook, and rainbow.

Piney Grove Cemetery is one of the oldest historic cemeteries in Western North Carolina. Situated on the grounds of the First Presbyterian Church established in 1794, it is the final resting place for several prominent families, such as the Davidson's, Patton's, Alexander's, Connelly's, Stepp's, and Burnett's. All of whom played important roles in the area's history. Additionally, it is the burial site for veterans from various conflicts, including the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and more recent military engagements.

At mile marker 404.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mills River Valley Overlook is the first of many close by scenic overlooks heading north. There are actually viewing areas of the valley on both sides of the parkway, and there is hiking trail access at this pull-off.

Step off the bike and take the turn off of the main road to find the Looking Glass Falls Viewpoint. Looking Glass Falls is the perfect quick pit-stop for everyone since it is practically right next to the parking lot. The accessibility to the falls viewing area was kept in mind during designing so that anyone would be able to view the beautiful scene; keep in mind that there are steps leading to the upper viewing platform.

The views from this quiet winding road are lovely with the wooded hills in the background. Keep your eye out for the interesting bird species that live in the surrounding woods.
