    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 out biking the parkway, know that there are going to be more cars in this area than some other spots on the route.
