Scenic drive to DuPont State Forest near Asheville, NC: Mills River, Etowah, Cedar Mountain US 64

One of the nicest hiking areas in western North Carolina is located just south of the Asheville area. Here's the drive to DuPont State Forest. We'll start in the Mills River area and follow NC Highway 280 and US 64, and some backroads to get over to the DuPont State Forest, then continue on to Cedar Mountain near the NC/SC state line. I made this trip in December 2025. Video elements are copyrighted. You may not rip/download/re-encode without permission. But, feel free to embed this video, link to it, or share it!
