Wagon Road Gap

… on the Haywood-Transylvania county line at the NW tip of Wagon Road Ridge. Began as a foot trail for man and horse on way to Brevard; later was widened for 2-wheeled wagons to haul salt and other provisions and eventually to accommodate large, 4-wheeled wagons, hence the name. The Blue Ridge Parkway now crosses the Wagon Road there. Alt. 4,535.
