Afton Overlook is a great overlook for a last look at the Blue Ridge Mountains, especially if you are here as the sun sets.
5 minutes
2
Humpback Rocks Visitor Center and Mountain Farm
It is a great place to plan your next Virginia road trip. You can also get a last-minute souvenir, or ask any questions at the ranger station.
20 minutes
3
Raven's Roost Overlook
Raven’s Roost is one of the most popular overlooks on this section of the Parkway. It should only take a few minutes for you to see why. A gorgeous panorama of the valley and mountains below, with two possible locations for photographs.
5 minutes
4
Sherando Lake Recreation Area
A true hidden gem just off of the parkway, Sherando Lake features several outdoor activities. There is a beach, ideal for relaxing or playing in the sand. There are two man-made lakes, one for fishing and the other for water sports like swimming, canoeing, or kayaking.
1 heure
5
20-Minute Cliff Overlook
This overlook was named for an interesting trick of the light. From the nearby town of White Rock, the sun will hit these rocks exactly 20 minutes before sundown in the Summer.
5 minutes
6
Big Spy Mountain Overlook
If you did not stop to stretch your legs at Whetstone Visitor Center, you have another chance here at this 10-minute short trail. It leads up a hill where you can get a decent view of the surrounding mountain.
10 minutes
7
Whetstone Ridge Visitor Center
More of a short break than a true Visitor Center, Whetstone Ridge is only necessary if you need to use a clean restroom. There are no other amenities at this stop.
5 minutes
8
Yankee Horse Ridge Trailhead to Wigwam Falls
There are two short walks at Yankee Horse Ridge Trailhead. One leads along the re-created tracks of an abandoned railroad, originally used to move timber from a logging operation.
20 minutes
9
Irish Creek Valley Overlook
You can see for miles and miles from the Irish Creek Valley Overlook. The Creek and valley were named for the Scotch-Irish immigrants who settled in the area in the 17th century.
5 minutes
10
Chimney Rock Mountain Overlook
Chimney Rock Mountain is another wonderful overlook, this time boasting trees in the middle, giving you two different views for the price of one.
5 minutes
11
Buena Vista
Located just a few minutes off of the Parkway, Buena Vista is an ideal stop if you need to fill up on gas. It’s also perfect for food, with several local restaurants and national chains, with something for everyone.
45 minutes
12
Indian Gap Rocks
If you skip over the longer trail at Otter Lake, Indian Gap Rocks is a great stop for stretching your legs. It is under a mile out and back and features several rock formations.
10 minutes
13
Otter Lake Waterfalls
A moderately difficult loop trail that takes around Otter Lake. There’s a stone bridge over the creek as well as a man-made waterfall and a fishing pier (if you already have the required license).
45 minutes
14
James River Visitor Center
This smaller Visitor Center is definitely worth the visit. For one thing, it is the lowest point on the entire Blue Ridge Parkway. That’s right, we’ve gone from the highest to the lowest point in Virginia, all on one tour!
30 minutes
15
Thunder Ridge Overlook
One of the more popular overlooks along the Parkway, Thunder Ridge gives a panoramic view of the Arnold Valley below. There is a stone platform that gives you the opportunity to take outstanding pictures with no interruptions.
10 minutes
16
Apple Orchard Mountain Overlook
Once again, there are unfortunately no apples to be found here at this overlook. What you can find is a breathtaking view, as this is the highest Parkway elevation in all of Virginia at 3950 feet above sea level.
5 minutes
17
Apple Orchard Falls Trailhead
Despite the name, there are no apples to be found at the Apple Orchard Falls Trailhead. What you can find is a moderately strenuous walk down to a beautiful waterfall.
1 heure
18
Peaks of Otter Lodge
This hotel is within sight of the Visitor Center. It is the only food and lodging available directly on the Parkway itself.
Reservations are recommended if you would like to stay in one of the rooms, but any visitor is welcome to enjoy the restaurant. There’s sit-down dining or grab-and-go food available.
Don’t forget to check out the view of the Peaks of Otter from behind the lodge! There’s also a peaceful walk around a man-made lake. It’s paved, shady, and ADA-compliant.
It’s the least difficult walk on your tour today, and should only take about 30 minutes, depending on how much of the scenery you want to take in.
1 heure
19
Peaks of Otter Visitor Center
The first visitor center along the Blue Ridge Parkway today is also the most popular. It has everything you could possibly want. There’s a museum dedicated to the natural history of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
There is a ranger-staffed desk for all of your questions about the area. There’s a general store with provisions for the road, as well as a gift shop for souvenirs. There’s even a restroom if you feel the call of nature.
In the rear of the Center, you will find an amphitheater that hosts presentations, as well as the start of two separate trails. The Elk Run trail is moderately easy and should take you about 45 minutes.
The Harkening Hill trail, on the other hand, is pretty difficult and will take around 5 hours in total. We recommend the Elk Run, it’s far more manageable and will help you get back on the road.
45 minutes
20
Porter Mountain View
As the name suggests, this overlook offers a profile view of Porter’s Mountain. Additionally, you can see down into the Goose Creek Valley, over 2000 feet below.
5 minutes
21
Pine Tree Overlook
Here we have a beautiful 180-degree vista broken only by a lone pine tree. Is this the pine tree that gives the overlook its name? No one is really sure, but it makes for great photographs.
5 minutes
22
Montvale Overlook
This is another perspective on the mountains, complete with the small town of Montvale in the distance.
5 minutes
23
The Great Valley Overlook
The Great Valley runs through the Appalachian Mountains from New York State all the way down to Alabama. This overlook gives you a fantastic view of the valley below.
The valley itself was once used by Native Americans as part of the Great Warrior path, as well as by settlers on their way to the frontier.
5 minutes
24
The Quarry Overlook
The first overlook on our tour today. Features views of the distant mountains as well as a real, working quarry.
5 minutes
25
Explore Park
The first stop along our tour, this state-run park has a visitor center with helpful staff and a gift shop featuring arts and crafts from local artists. Want to start the day off with a hike?
