    Tips

    August 31, 2023

    Located on the Rock Castle Gorge Trail and just off the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Rock Castle Gorge viewpoint boasts views of the entire Rocky Knob Recreation Area and surrounding mountains. This is a super popular spot for tourists, so if you are hiking the trail, you aren't going to get as much privacy here as you will on the rest of the trail.
