Overlooks

Kelle’s Favorite: Bearfence Mountain and the Hawksbill Summit Trail.  “Back in college we would climb the Bearfence for a great 360-degree view. Today I like a more easily accessible spot like the overlook from the Hawksbill Summit Trail parking area.”

Felecia’s Favorite: Buck Hollow. “It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the Thornton Gap entrance to the park. Standing on Buck Hollow and looking out on the hills and forests below makes you feel small in comparison.”

Anne’s Favorite: Brown Mountain Overlook. “I love the view looking south to the Rockytop.”
