A hidden gem along the Blue Ridge Parkway. #explorenc #discovernc #visitnc #travel #hikingadventures

🌅 A hidden gem along the Blue Ridge Parkway that’s easy to miss but absolutely worth the stop!

This short, easy trail from Milepost 305.2 doesn’t offer views from the parking lot, so many may drive right past it.

But just a quick hike up, and you’ll be rewarded with an open, rocky overlook perfect for sunrise views and sweeping mountain panoramas. 🌄✨

Trail Highlights:
* Distance: ~0.5 miles roundtrip
* Elevation: 175 ft gain, making it accessible and quick for any skill level
* Best Time: Sunrise for those stunning, early morning colors
* Parking: Milepost 305.2 on the Parkway

💡 Tip: Pair it with Rough Ridge (just 2 miles south at Milepost 302.8) to make it an unforgettable day filled with epic views!

These two hikes combine the best of the Parkway’s scenic spots in just a few miles. 💚
