About This Trail
The massive granite face of Looking Glass Rock is visible from numerous Parkway overlooks, and the trail to its summit is one of the most rewarding hikes in the region. The relentless climb gains over 1,700 feet through hardwood and rhododendron forest before emerging on the broad granite summit. Watch for peregrine falcons that nest on the cliff faces.
Getting There
From Brevard, NC, take US-276 north. Turn left onto Forest Road 475 and continue to the Looking Glass Rock trailhead.
