This short out-and-back trail takes hikers up some fairly steep climbs through beautiful high-elevation forest and blooming rhododendron. The climb is completely worth it once you reach the top where you can take in stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding area and the Blue Ridge Parkway. <br />
This is a popular trail, so you won't be alone, but it's popular for a reason!
Trail head located at mile marker 364.1 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Craggy Gardens picnic area.
