    Tips

    September 7, 2023

    Home to one of the most popular sunrise viewing areas on the entire Blue Ridge Parkway, the Thunder Hill Overlook is located at Milepost 290.4 and rests at an elevation of 3,795 feet. The overlook boasts a pretty big parking area (no picnic tables, though) and a wide open view. This viewpoint is a nice change of pace from a lot of the overgrown overlooks along this part of the parkway.
