Yellow Face Overlook

"A very nice stop along the parkway with a good southeastern view. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a 470-mile-long roadway that meanders through the mountains and connects the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. The parkway boasts about 170 official stops along the path. This site is one of these many stops. This is between the Waterrock Knob stop and Fork Ridge overlook. This particular stop shares a fair amount of similarities with the Fork Ridge Overlook. It has the same southwestern view. It is a pull-off on the same side of the road. It has a broad view with very little obstruction. It does not have any restrooms or picnic tables or trails but has a wonderful view of several mountain ranges and valleys that run off to the south of the location. This stop also shares the same view as the one that can be seen from Waterrock Knob at a higher elevation so if you went there, you may want to skip this stop. If you have not been to that Waterrock Knob, then you may want to stop there next. Overall, it is a nice stop with a southwestern view. Enjoy."

"A day with low clouds is an awesome day to come to Yellow Face! The clouds were literally going past my face and along the road. Pretty sweet. Just an alert, though: If you go further up in elevation on a day with thick clouds, you will end up in a very dense fog to where it is hard to see in front of you."

"Great overlook that has some of the best views of the Blue Ridge Parkway! Definitely worth the stop!"

"Beautiful place to say the least. Can be very busy. But definitely worth checking out. Go outside and explore ✨ Would recommend 10/10"

"Breathtaking view! You must stop here if you are on your way Waterrock Knob Trail or Soco Falls. The view here will not disappoint you. You would definitely get some of most beautiful pictures of Yellow Face from this overlook. You can also bring your camping chair to sit a while and make a timelapse of the clouds flying over the yellow face mountain."
