Bearwallow Mountain

Driving Directions (Don't rely on GPS!) From Downtown Asheville: Take I-240 east and continue straight onto US Hwy 74-A East toward Chimney Rock. Follow 74-A East for about 12.5 miles (up a very long set of switchback curves) to the town of Gerton. Turn right on Bearwallow Mountain Road and go 2.1 miles to the top of the ridge and park on the side of the road (where pavement starts) near the gate in front of a dirt road (don't block gate). This road is unpaved, but all cars should make it fine. There are a few steeper and bumpier sections. This road continues down the mountain on the other side and eventually takes you to US 64 near Hendersonville.
