Weather Along the Route
Forecast at the hour you reach each point, from the riding time. Leave Departure empty to leave now. Forecast from Open-Meteo.
VA 39 follows the Maury River through Goshen Pass, a narrow gorge cut through Little North Mountain. The road stays beside the rapids the whole way, with rock walls and rhododendron on the other side. It is short and pairs well with the farm roads around Lexington.
