Not the best overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway but it's still nice. There's not a lot of parking space at this overlook and the view is limited due to the vegetation. Even with the limited view, it's still really nice providing a view of Chestnut Cove (looking out towards south Asheville/Fletcher). The tree almost frames the photo for you. The lot also has a trail that will take you to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST). Elevation - 3,035 feet.
Least of my favorite overlook on the way up. There's a lot of foliage and a huge tree obstructing the view. Great for a mid-stop rest with enough shade from the sun and heat though.
Had a pleasantly calm and relaxed picnic with my hubbie for an hour. Very nice
Beautiful views and also a very convenient connection to the Shut-In Trail. (aka MST) Quick elevation if you hike toward Asheville but not much at all for over a mile if you go toward Mt. Pisgah.
