Just a quick stop coming back from TN. A lovely place. The thing about these overlooks is that you always meet someone that has the same joy as you with being out in such a beautiful natural setting. Even if it is 95 degrees!
stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys; The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and dense forests. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail, which spans North Carolina from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks, crosses near the overlook.
Located on the Blue ridge parkway it was truly a surreal beautiful time in God's country
Beautiful view of the Blue Ridge mountains! Did you know that the blue comes from a gas the trees give off? It mixes with the atmosphere and creates the blue we see. Tree farts! Go figure!!
Great view! If your in the area i highly recommend you check out this Mountain view!
We didn't go all the way to the end, cause we haven't done physical activity in ages. It's mainly a wooded area, but there are some clearings where you can see out. The path follows the road, so you can hear the traffic. There are some steepish areas, and places that are essentially like taking 2 stairsteps at a time, but otherwise pretty easy to traverse.
I would say mildly kid and dog friendly. But the paths are narrow and the drop off is steep so don't let your babies, or fur babies, crowd people cause it'd likely cause them to fall to their death. 100% NOT ok to have your pet off leash here.
