Visitor Center managed by NPS. If you find it closed, do not worry about the stamp on your Passport: you can find them pre-filled on the notice board.

Nice campground just off the Blue Ridge Pkwy. There is a huge meadow for tents. The nearby and charming town of Floyd has everything you might need for supplies and refreshments.

The hike to the falls is pretty mellow but the final approach to the waterfall might be challenging for some. Please note that this area is on private property that is controlled by a church camp. It's open to the public for most of the year but is closed while camp is in session. You can check the closing dates here: www.altamons.org/hike.html

One of few camping sites on the BRP. They are rare so use it at full potential

There are a few foot-traffic only trails on the property, but the Smart View Recreation Area also offers multiple picnic areas (over 70), a historical cabin, and a paved road loop where cars are also allowed to drive. If you want to get on any of the trails, too, know that you'll have to lock the bikes up.

The gorgeous campground offers direct access to the Rocky Knob Recreation Area. Some sites take reservations and others are first-come first-serve, and the campsite roads are completely paved. Lots of families end up staying here so keep your eyes peeled for kids and pets.

Mabry Mill is located at Milepost 176.2 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The National Park Service maintains the historic gristmill and watermill and offers a walking path that goes through the property. Bikes aren't allowed on the trails, but it's worth parking the bike for a look if you haven't stopped here before.

The Saddle Overlook is located at Milepost 168 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and offers views from both sides of the road. One side of the road offers a view of The Saddle, and the other view is of Buffalo Mountain.
