Reviews
"Beautiful easy going hike."
"Fantastic place to relax and decompress in nature for a weekend. Great views and the trails are fairly well maintained. Some of the most spectacular views on the Blue Ridge Parkway and climbing up Shining Rock was very fun."
"If you are looking for the fall colors, there is no better spot!! Hiking up the art Loeb and seeing the vastness of the mountains and the color of the trees. It is like a museum painting but in real life. Definitely worth the time and effort."
"One of my favorites in NC. Magical place."
"Fantastic scenery/views. Varied terrain, some of it technical and challenging. If you're going in deep, bring a first aid/emergency kit and good orienteering skills. I used AllTrails after downloading maps and it was great. But also bring a good map and compass as a backup. The trails are not marked in many cases and it's easy to get mixed up."
