    At an elevation of 5,580 feet and at Milepost 433.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Roy Taylor Forest Overlook offers a couple different views. There is a view from the parking area that has recently been improved by the forest service (tree removal), and there is also a short paved path to a wooden observation deck.
