126 is at the top of the hill, right near the tree line. Just above the newest bath house. there is a swing in the grassy area across from you.
And 16 is the best, I thought the only way from Wilksboro. It's only steep, and twisty near the top. But the speed limit drops to 35, and 25 there. We usually get off at the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance, Drive North to the General Store on left. Turn there and go back to 16. Maybe 100 yards. Turn right, and take the next right. And you are there. There is a entrance to Raccoone Holler from the BRP. But there is no sign from the South side, and it's hid behind a tree.
It is cool up there year round. Take a sweater, and blankets.
