My favorite part of fall is seeing how all the trees change colors to red, orange, and yellow leaves. To take it all in take a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway or hike a trail!

Enjoy spectacular mountain views of Grandfather Mountain and Linn Cove Viaduct, from the hike on Rough Ridge.

Just a 1/3-mile uphill hike from the parking area is a boardwalk atop the rocky mountain that protects fragile vegetation. Continue hiking for another 1/2 mile to the Rough Ridge summit (4,773 ft. elevation). The views keep getting better! There are several large boulders along the trail that you can sit on to take in the views. Take a picnic!

At the summit, the highest rock has cables to help you reach the top. Total elevation climb from the parking area is 480 ft.
