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

👍👍 Wonderful trail. I would definitely hike his again. There are definitely some tricky parts with lots of exposed roots as tripping hazards. The length of the trail is pretty long with lots of elevation gain so it's a solid workout. We had lots of people asking us how much further the end was etc. It'...

👍👍 Great spot on the blue ridge parkway to grab lunch, checkout an awesome view of Looking Glass Rock and hike skinny dip falls. Note, as of June 2022, skinny dip falls has been heavily impacted by flooding, rearranging the swimming hole and washing out the main bridge - not as easily accessible for s...

Yes, the seemingly endless switchbacks for the first half is arduous, but then there's just beautiful forest, the old helipad, some bouldering locations, etc. When you think maybe you're going the wrong way and surely at the end...

It's muddy in some areas and had one shallow creek crossing, so wear appropriate shoes. Large field for outdoor activiti...

I thought I was in pretty good shape, but I was seriously winded. Also, be careful with roots embedded in the trail. There are some diffic...

👍 People here don't clean up after their dogs. Otherwise it's a very nice park.

👍👍 It's great, but as is typical in our area, NO ONE, and by no one, I mean NO ONE will show their Patriotism to this great land by wearing a mask during the Pandemic to protect us hard-working Americans in direct violation of this Federal Park's rules and regulations. So just go with the knowledge tha...

👍👍 Everything is great on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. We chose Fetterbush as our meeting/parking place to begin our hike to Black Balsam and Tenent Mountain peaks. Arriving at 730am the overlook is virtually empty whereas the Black Balsam parking lot and entrance road can be booked solid in seaso...
