## **Black Mountain Town & Country Loop**

The route begins with a scenic roll along the **@slice[Oaks Trail](d,1817.14,2657.76)** and around the **@poi[Community Garden](2492874)** before leaving town to enter the **North Fork Valley**. Out-n-back spurs along the Left and Right Forks offer stunning views reaching all the way to the **Blue Ridge Parkway** high above the valley. As the route returns to town, it passes by **@poi[Lake Tomahawk](2492875)** before traveling through the historic Montreat Arch and into the village of **Montreat**. This out-n-back spur takes riders into a cove filled with peaceful retreat homes and **@poi[Lake Susan](2492893)**.
