context_section_description: U.S. Route 221 Truck (US 221 Truck) provides an alternate route for truck drivers between Linville and Boone, via NC 105.  It avoids an 18-mile (29 km) drive of endless curves and constant elevation changes along a stretch of US 221 between Linville and Blowing Rock, dubbed the Little Parkway Scenic Byway.  In Boone, the truck route overlaps with US 321 Truck and US 421 Truck.
