    Hiking

    From the highest visitor center of the Blue Ridge Parkway, you can reach Waterrock Knob after a short hike. It's known for its beautiful distant views of several large Appalachian mountain ranges. You can admire magnificent sunrises and sunsets from the summit.

    Hiking

    Short, steep path from the visitor center parking lot to the lookout point with a magnificent view. It's worth it!
