Access: From Asheville, follow Interstate 26 East to Exit 9 (Asheville Regional Airport) (or from South Carolina, follow Interstate 26 West to Exit 9). At Exit 9, follow SR 1419 past the airport, to the intersection with Highway 191. Turn left onto Highway 191, and follow to the intersection with Highway 280.

From the Blue Ridge Parkway, south of Mount Pisgah, turn onto Highway 276 and follow east towards Brevard. This portion of Highway 276 follows Looking Glass Creek to the intersection with FS 475.
