Looking down Chair Rock descent, aka Bobletts Gap Road. Fairly rugged, fun, and you'll be coming back up in about 2 hours.

Rockpile containing remnant ore from 1800's mining operations. You'll see several hollers with these rockpiles. There are strip and small shaft mines up the mountain from each of these.

Milepost 93.1, Blue Ridge Parkway
So jump forward...you did 4.5 miles of pavement, the rest dirt, plus the 5.5 mile climb out of the bottom to get you nearly 2000' of climbing before seeing this: the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 93.1.
Another view of Mineshaft trailhead. You can blow right past it, it's exactly 1 mile from the picnic table at the top.
Look for the trail - take a sharp right upwards and backwards just ahead of bike.
Ahh...the moss berms. Greenery even in the dead of winter.
