Clarence Newton Road

Clarence Newton Road is a beautiful, well-maintained county gravel road that follows a mountain ridge near Blowing Rock, offering views of the surrounding area along the way. Fall brings colorful foliage, followed by more expansive views as the leaves drop and open sightlines through the trees. The well-packed gravel surface is free of major obstacles, making the route suitable for most 2WD and 4WD vehicles. With its easy driving, peaceful mountain scenery, and proximity to Blowing Rock, Clarence Newton Road makes a great addition to a day of exploring the area's backroads.
