The sheer excitement and joy i get from this place is unparalleled.

Pretty view of the valley and better for sunset

The view from this overlook on the parkway was amazing. Admittedly, we were a bit early in the year for peak leaf turning but we still had a wonderful drive

This is a great view of the Wash Creek Valley. You are high enough in elevation to get a good view of the scenery for many miles. I thought it was particularly nice, as is all of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Absolutely beautiful place to see.

Nice overlook near Ferrin Knob Tunnel Number #1. There are some trees in the way but the view is still really nice looking south into Wash Creek Valley. Definitely a nice place to stop. The name comes from heavy rains events. During which, the creek will rise and overflow creating a "wash". Elevation - 3,435 feet.

This is a great overlook if you want to get a good picture of the tunnels in the area. You can walk along the roadside to the nearest tunnel. If you have a friend with you it makes for a great place to get some pictures of your car as you drive through, just be careful of traffic.
