Caesar's Head Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Drove here to enjoy a packed lunch with an absolutely stunning view! Also, went out to the Bald Rock scenic overlook just before getting to the Cesar's Head overlook. It's so sad that so many people have ruined the natural beauty of this gorgeous place by putting graffiti all over the rock surface....

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...

Linn Cove Viaduct

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

4.90 (907 reviews) (~146.84 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) (~140.7 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...

The Cradle of Forestry Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Amazing views, especially during sunrise and sunset. One of the best overlooks on the BRP.

4.90 (492 reviews) (~189.25 km from centre)

Jumping Off Rock Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Extremely well maintained area. I came back and edited after reading other reviews about the road. I'm sure the road can be tougher than it was on this trip. It is like any other Forest Service, State Park, BLM, Game Land, and Gravel Road in mountains. Be prepared, go slow, and you'll be fine. If y...

Yellow Branch Falls

Scenic spot

4.90 (387 reviews) (~222.66 km from centre)

Cowee Mountain Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 The view was incredible during the day and I’m the evening. The sunset we watched was pure magic. Bring warm clothes (sweatpants, sweatshirt, socks, even a coat) because it gets very cold as the sun sets, even when the day was hot.

4.90 (356 reviews) (~207.47 km from centre)

Top of Mt. Mitchell

Scenic spot

4.90 (318 reviews) (~157.28 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...

4.90 (315 reviews) (~98.37 km from centre)

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) (~142.8 km from centre)

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...

Funnel Top Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 Amazing view. Shows you the vastness of God's creation. Fun ride up there. The roads are curvy but they are smooth.

Yellow Face Overlook

Scenic spot

4.90 (256 reviews) (~221.91 km from centre)

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...
