The Bunches Bald Overlook is situated at Milepost 459.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Even though the word "bald" is in the name, the viewpoint isn't situated on a bald, nor does it look out towards a bald. There are still a bunch of different mountain peaks, ridges, and valleys to be seen from here.
There is also a cool tunnel that you get to bike through on the parkway just a few hundred feet north of here.
