Seneca Skyway (US-33 Rawley Springs to Elkins)
Crossing five successive mountain ridges between the Shenandoah Valley and Elkins, US-33 is West Virginia's most exhilarating high-speed twisty highway. Climbs over Shenandoah Mountain, dives into Germany Valley beneath the towering fins of Seneca Rocks, and scales Spruce Mountain. The West Virginia side features beautifully banked triple-lane passing zones where riders can lean hard through continuous 45 mph sweepers. Beware of gravel pulled out by log trucks and sudden deer crossings.
