US 58 runs west through Lee County in the far southwest corner of Virginia, following the general route of the Wilderness Road that settlers used to reach Kentucky through Cumberland Gap. The road follows a long valley at the foot of Cumberland Mountain, whose wall of cliffs stays in view to the north. Wilderness Road State Park sits beside the highway near the west end.
