Bluff Mountain has an open, grassy peak. The summit meadow offers views towards Stone Mountain State Park and back towards the other mountains of Doughton Park. The main overlook area is located in the parking lot at Milepost 243.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but the trailhead for the Bluff Mountain trail is miles away at Brinegar Cabin.
