Saluda is surrounded by low-traffic mountain roads that pass through protected lands, like the Game Lands and the Greenville Watershed. George Hincapie’s Gran Fondo Greenville (every October) crosses Saluda three times. A choice 25-mile route takes you through the Game Lands along the Green River and climbs the brutal Green River Cove switchback, which boasts 1,000 feet of gain in 2.4 miles.
