Though beautiful to behold, the steep climbs and descents along the routes paved 2-lane and often 3-lane roadways can be a little intimidating to some inexperienced mountain drivers. Yet it’s a paradise roadway to others that are familiar with the curves and up and downs of mountain driving. For those with less mountain driving skills, its advised to take your time, pull over when you can do so safely, so that you can see the sights, or just let the pushy traffic behind you pass you by. Also when going down steep slopes its advisable to take the transmission gear shift out of over-drive, and place it into drive or second gear to avoid excessive brake usage. Also, don’t let your vehicle exceed the speed limit to avoid constant braking. A couple of trips over the mountain and you’ll soon be a local pro-driver of skill, or at least a lot more experienced. The Woody Gap to Neel’s Gap Scenic Driving Tour is located south of Blairsville, in Union County, along US/19/129 near the junction of GA/180. Each point of interest is marked by site-on GPS for drivers convenience, yet due to technical satellite failure or weather and or high mountain or deep cove interference with some satellite service tower providers, this Blue Ridge Highlander-Union County mobile App is equipped with mileage per point of interest. Also located in this App is additional information about several of the points of interest along this scenic drive. Please drive safe and have a great time.
