I am traveling from the Triangle to Boone next week. I haven't been west of Greensboro since moving here. I am looking for suggestions for places past Winston - Tourist Stops, Neat places to see and restaurant recommendations off of Route 421? I am not in a rush so a few miles off the road in either direction is okay with me.
There are a few state parks that are nice: Pilot Mountain, Hanging Rock & Stone Mountain. There are also a lot of wineries in the Yadkin Valley between Winston Salem & Wilkesboro.
If you're into Nascar, the old N. Wilkesboro Speedway is right off of 421.. It's pretty neat to get a glimpse of some Nascar history. I drove by there recently and the place looks just like it did 20 years ago, just maybe a few more paint chips. Same old Winsten Cup signs and old logo's... It's not exactly "open to the public", but you can drive around it and snap a few pics without anyone bothering you...
Kernersville is between Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and is the home of Körner's Folly, a place I've wanted to visit for a while. It looks like fun.
