    Hiking

    Grassy Ridge Mine Overlook is located at mile-marker 436.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and was named after an old mine from the 1800s and early 1900s that was located just below the overlook. The viewpoint looks over the forests and foothills of Sylva. There is also access for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail from the parking lot so that you can hike after taking in the roadside view.
