VA-39 runs nearly 60 miles west from Lexington toward the West Virginia border, with its crown jewel being Goshen Pass — a dramatic water-gap gorge carved by the Maury River through Little North Mountain. The road traces the river at close range, flanked by rocky cliffs and whitewater rapids, before climbing through George Washington National Forest. The gorge section is tight and winding with pull-offs where riders can swim or watch kayakers.
