About this event

  • MINI MCA partners with Backroads of Appalachia 


    Join us for several days of exploring some of the most beautiful roads, vistas, towns, and people in the Appalachian mountain region.  For individuals who have not yet visited the Backroads of Appalachia, our trip offers a unique opportunity to support the local economy while enjoying a fulfilling experience. The community expresses gratitude for our presence, as the coal mining industry, which was once the primary source of income, has largely disappeared.

    We partner with the non-profit organization Backroads of Appalachia, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to identify the most suitable routes, dining establishments, and lodging options. Our brief visit to this region is not only a blast for our club members, but it helps to support the growing tourism and service industry in this recovering part of America. 

    Expect to see lots of beautiful scenery, once-in-a-lifetime vista views, and MINI-worthy drives. Share your experiences with other MINI owners and build friendships that may last a lifetime. 

    Register here online before attending.
