North Carolina Scenic Byways are selected to give travelers a chance to experience a bit of history, geography and culture while raising awareness for the protection and preservation of NC's treasures. These routes embody the diverse beauty and culture of the Tar Heel State and provide travelers with a safe and interesting alternate route.

Sample a few and you'll see some of the most breathtaking scenery from the Blue Ridge Mountains to fertile plains and the crystal blue coastline. Routes are clearly marked with highway signs and a special Scenic Byway logo.
