Buffalo Mountain Natural preserve is just a 10 minute drive away.Has a small parking area with a portable area for using the restroom that has al and been clean. There are two trail routes up that connect. The one that is slightly longer is easier to traverse and has the best views on the hike up. Great for early morning or just before sunset hikes. Beautiful 360 degree views at the top. You can also see pilot mountain in NC if looking south on a clear day. This hike is easy and short enough for kids.

The closest Blue Ridge Parkway entrance (and there are several nearby) is about 5-8 minutes away on Buffalo Mountain Road. See the beautiful overlooks North toward Rock Castle Gorge as well as a man made waterfall/dam. If you head south on the parkway you can stop to explore Mabry Mill (and also grab a bite to eat or buy some freshly ground flour or grits or find some unique local art or jewelry). Keep heading south and there is a great travel and gift store stop at Meadows of Dan!

This is off of Rte 58 just beside lover’s leap.
