Bootlegger’s Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the most famous stretch of the Jagged Edge, Bootlegger\u2019s Run packs more than 100 curves into its 30-mile drive between the towns of Floyd and Ferrum, passing through Woolwine along the way. This run gets its name because it goes through the heart of one of Appalachia\u2019s most notorious moonshine trails. If this unique piece of American history is not enough, the ride boasts some of the Blue Ridge Mountains\u2019 most spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
