Trail Overview

Located deep within the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in southwestern Virginia, Osborne Ridge Road is a rugged, scenic route tailored for off-roaders seeking exceptional Appalachian mountain views. This two-track gravel forest service road climbs steeply along the ridgeline, rewarding drivers with sweeping views of the mountain peaks and deep, surrounding valleys stretching far below.
