​Driving Directions

​Please do not rely on GPS devices to find the Yew Mountain Center--especially if you are coming from the west on route 39.  Cellular service is unreliable in our area and the directions may send you up a treacherous old logging road. The Yew Mountain Center is on a paved, well-maintained county road.  It is a winding, narrow road, so we suggest traveling slowly and enjoying the scenery.  In the winter, contact us for current road conditions.
