Buzzards Roost scenic overlook. Very cool spot!

A visit to a remote scenic overlook in Pisgah National Forest in western NC. What makes this place so awesome, aside from the jaw dropping view, is that it is still pretty much in its natural state. No steps, no guardrails, no plaques, and no admission fees!

@pasini36 Belgium certainly has some beautiful scenery, but the mountains and roads in western North Carolina are really spectacular. My favorite riding area for sure!

@Spacecoastz Haha - yeah, I was definitely on the edge that day!

My GPS is a Garmin Zumo 220 which is marketed for motorcycles. Maybe a bit of a rip, but it does have some good MC friendly features and accessories.

@Wilks89 You can see the rock face clearly from I-40, especially if you pull off on the service road outside of the tunnel. It's pretty impressive from down below as well.
