The Steestachee Bald View is an official overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 438.9. The "bald" isn't so bald anymore, but there are still some great views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. If you look closely, you can even see the parkway off in the distance on the side of one of the mountains.
