"The East Fork Overlook is another one of the great viewing spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were there the first of October and the trees were just starting to change colors."
"This was another of my favorite stops along the majestic Blue Ridge Highway. None of the photos will do it justice, but I put them here. It was gorgeous - what can I say?"
"East Fork is a stunner of an overlook on the Parkway. The mountains are layered beautifully and recede one after another into the distance. Already majestic views get even better during leaf season. This can lead to a crowded parking situation, but still totally worth the stop."
"Lots of overlooks along the BRP. This time of year it can be a bit congested but if you have a wandering soul you will be very zen. The leaves are starting to change a bit but perhaps a week or 2 at most from peak colors"
