    Tips

    September 7, 2023

    Road cycling

    At Milepost 302.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, you can find the Rough Ridge Overlook. There is a trail that offers even better views from a better vantage point, but there are a few window views through the trees from the parking area. The section of the parkway bordering Grandfather Mountain State Park is especially beautiful in the fall when the colors on the trees are changing.
