While traveling North on the Blue Ridge Parkway, this is the perfect place for visitors looking for a short hike, there are longer hikes as well, with beautiful views. Take a picnic lunch and soak in the views. It can get busy with tourists, but not as crowded as some other popular attractions. We recently visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was perfect. Family friendly as well!
