I finally understand the line, ".. Purple mountains majesty" oof Take a look at the photos and know I haven't captured a fraction of its grandeur

Amazing views, especially during sunrise and sunset. One of the best overlooks on the BRP.

Even when the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed, this overlook is accessible by a manageable 1-mile walk. But if you keep leaving it open and head elsewhere, it’ll be just as quiet and still as ever. 🙃🙏✨

One of many great overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Definitely a good place to stop, stretch your feet and get some good views of the mountains.

One of many unbelievable views, which cannot be expressed by photographs, along the magnificent Blue Ridge Parkway.

Blue Ridge mountain Parkway.
Many scenic overlooks of the mountains, several tunnels to traverse, over 300 miles of mountain travel by vehicle or motorcycle.
Great 3 to 4 day travel

An amazing view after climbing up winding roads through the forest to turn onto the blur ridge parkway and this is the first thing you see. I can't imagine anything more incredible than this sight!

Phenomenal views and (like the other overlooks) an easy stopover when driving.

This park is amazing to see, and this overlook (or any on this road including the frying pan mountain look out tower) really do have superb views.

It’s about a 2 hour drive from Knoxville and around 1h30 ish to Spartanburg so you can easily spend the day in the mountains!

Would recommend!
