About This Trail
The highest trailhead on the Blue Ridge Parkway at 5,820 feet leads to a summit with views into the Great Smokies, the Plott Balsam range, and on clear days, into Georgia and South Carolina. This is one of the finest sunset hikes in the mountains—watching the sun sink behind wave after wave of ridges is unforgettable.
