What are the must-see attractions in the Blue Ridge Mountains?

Grandfather Mountain

Towering at almost 6000 feet, this is the highest peak in the Blueridge chain. With an unparalleled natural diversity, the mountains host the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, a thoroughly enjoyable Scottish affair.

Mount Mitchell

Mount Mitchell State Park is the highest point east of the Mississippi River. An observation deck offers fine views of spruce and fir forests in the surrounding landscape. Discover the mountain’s cultural legacies at the museum.

Waterrock Knob

Waterrock Knob’s summit lies within the Blue Ridge Parkway National Park Service unit. Easily accessible from the parkway, the mountain is a real favorite with hikers. Vantage points offer surreal sunset views.

Richland Balsam

The highest peak on the Blue Ridge Parkway, hikers can set off on a self-guided loop trail that meanders through a lush spruce-fir forest. Note that the parkway is closed during winters.

Hawksbill Mountain

Hawksbill assures its hikers of grand views of Grandfather Mountain, Table Rock and Shortoff Mountain. Soak in the burnt orange beauty of autumn in late October. A moderately difficult hike, exquisite picnic areas await at the top.
