Hiking
On the Appalachian Trail (and just off of Big Butt Road) is the summit of Big Butt, which is also known as Coldspring Mountain. The mountain rises to an elevation of 5,920 feet and has a bald lookout area. This is an excellent photo spot, and there is an alternate trail to take if you want to avoid the cliffs that are part of the Big Butt lookout area.
