Located at Milepost 238.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Brinegar Cabin is a popular attraction that doesn't take a lot of legwork to get to. It's located just off the side of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail and often combined with hikes leaving from the same parking area. The cabin and property are full of history, and there are informational signs all around the premises.

The trail (from the cabins to Devil Garden) is currently only accessible for about 700 meters. After that, it is littered with fallen trees. Avoiding it is not possible. However, other trails, such as Bluff Mountain, lead from the parking lot. This trail is cleared and very beautiful. You can also follow the signs. It's impossible to get lost.
