    Located at Mile Marker 337.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Craven Gap is a mountain pass with a small overlook area. There is trail access to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, which goes two different directions from the parking area.



    This is the first official parking area on the Blue Ridge Parkway heading north from Asheville. You are around 3,100 feet at the parking lot, and you have the opportunity to climb all the way to 6,684-feet where Mount Mitchell rests as the tallest mountain in the United States located east of the Mississippi River.
