Wiseman's View Scenic Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 This was an amazing overlook of the Linville Gorge. I don't know the history, but it looks like it may have been a 1930s CCC project, with beautiful granite rock steps leading to a walled overlook area. There is also is a modicum of public amenity at the top. Namely, there's a clean outhouse, and...

Main Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 There is always something mesmerizing about the sun rising over a horizon. Typically it is a special time to sit, reflect, and sip your cup of coffee. Sunrise marks the start of something new…a new day, new plans, and a new adventure. My sister-in-law tagged along with me on this early morning adve...

A segment of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this concrete, S-shaped bridge hugs Grandfather Mountain.

Ravens Roost Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 One of my favorite spots for my clients with all of the stunning views, minus the hike. Highly recommend this overlook for the best sunset views, picnics, and more. It can get pretty packed in there most days when there’s beautiful weather, but there’s a trail off to the side that leads down the fro...

Humpback Rocks

Scenic spot

Large rocky summit with sweeping views from 3,080 ft., reached via a steep, 2-mi. loop trail.

4.90 (681 reviews) (~243.66 km from centre)

Hanging Rock

Scenic spot

👍👍 The hanging rock trail hike is a challenge. Lots of steps and rocks to climb. It is worth it for the view, but also, it is very dangerous if you are not cautious. Took about 45 minutes up and back down with my family of five with three kids 10 and under. The swim area is pleasant with lots of space...

Thunder Hill Overlook

Scenic spot

Wide views of North Carolina are available from this famous stop, beloved of amateur astronomers.

4.90 (610 reviews) (~148.61 km from centre)

Chestoa View Parking Area & Viewpoint

Scenic spot

👍👍 Stop here! Walk! This is the best turn out we have seen between here and Ashville! Do not do like most people who we saw pull in, turn around, and go out! Just because you don't see the view from the large parking lot with picnic tables, it is worth getting out. Don the paved path is a split in...

Top of Mt. Mitchell

Scenic spot

4.90 (318 reviews) (~204.74 km from centre)

High Shoals Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Great hiking area! And kid friendly. Get there early in the morning or you will sit on the road forever waiting for a parking spot. DO NOT go on holiday weekend. Our first time going was on Memorial Day weekend and it was insanely busy, our second time going was on a Saturday in October, but we stil...

Bear Den Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful overlook views especially in the fall where the full fall colors are on display. As usual there is free parking.

4.90 (311 reviews) (~176.87 km from centre)

20-Minute Cliff Overlook

Scenic spot

👍 Very pretty area but watching the sunset was a bit blinding. From this spot, you can see it disappear behind the mountains but it isn't fully set. I prefer to be higher up the mountain and watch the sunset on the horizon. That's when you can see the sky change color. We didn't see any color change l...

Richland Creek Zipline Canopy Tour LLC

High ropes course

👍👍 If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! We visited this establishment to celebrate our daughter’s 15th birthday, and I cannot wait until we visit again! First off, we were late, but they were so patient with us, and so very understanding. We are a large family so waivers had to be signed for a...

The Great Valley Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Wow, this is another absolutely stunning place to visit! I'm nearby and just wanted to have a beautiful place to look out at. I went there for some peace and quiet and will make it a pit stop for sure! It was very serene and beautiful to see. There's lots of little trails nearby. If you have a trai...

Black Mountains Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 An overlook that provides a wide open view of the Black Mountains. You can see Mount Mitchell, Mount Craig, Celo Knob and a bunch of other 6000ers from this here. Definitely a place worth stopping at on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I stopped here during a clear fall day, but I bet it looks even better in...

The Saddle Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful views at this pull off on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There's enough separation from the parkway to allow you to feel like you're in your own world a little bit. Crazy to imagine what it must have been like for settlers to be relieved to find gaps like the one viewed here, and then to settle t...

Deerlick Gap Overlook

Scenic spot

4.90 (211 reviews) (~191.22 km from centre)

Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory

Scenic spot

👍👍 Hike to the Hanging Rock tower is 0.8 miles one-way from the parking lot. The first 1/10 mile is aggressive uphill and the last 1/10 mile includes two steep uphill sections. The middle part is light up and down with rocky surface. Time to hike will depend on your ability. Once at the tower, it’s an...

Rock Castle Gorge Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Love hiking the trails at Rocky knob. This is a beautiful spot! There are so many wonderful things to see and experience along the whole trail that I'm never bored of hiking it again and again. But the overlook would make a lovely lunch spot. 😊
