Comments: Go crazy on the Crazy 8's ride! This ride features some of the best curves in the state. It makes a figure 8 pattern because honestly I don't know which direction is best on Rt 250! This ride will take you past the Green Bank Observatory, the Jefferson Baths in Warm Springs Va and several other great locations along the way. It is a two lane paved ride with plenty of turns and some nice long straights through the valleys. You will travel through valleys, over mountains and follow along rivers through small towns and rural farms. There will be several excellent views as you switch back up some of the mountains.
