One of the most popular hikes in the area - just a short trek from Beech Grove Cabins. This hike has waterfall views all the way up and a scenic overlook at the top!
There are two routes to the top of this great spot, overlooking the Blue Ridge Parkway and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. One is shorter and a little steeper. The other (from the picnic area) is a little longer but less strenuous.

This hike is worth the drive - 360 degree views at the top! Check out the fish hatchery and the country store in Montebello.
This hike is as easy or as hard as you want it to be. There are swimming holes and mini waterfalls all along the trail. The farther you go, the better the views! Pack a picnic lunch and get ready for some cold mountain water - you'll have to cross the water a few times, so plan ahead!
