Such a beautiful drive! Most leaves are gone from the trees by now, but on cold days like today, there were plenty of shady spots with icicles that had formed overnight. Definitely worth the drive for the breathtaking vistas!

We were able to see the changing of the leaves (: so beautiful!! Easy spot to get to, even with all the traffic coming & going!

Just a lovely stop to stop off of Blue Ridge Parkway and see the natural valleys and smooth mountains. Unfortunately Craggy Pinnacle was closed thanks to hurricane Zeta damage so this and a few other stops had to do. Still very beautiful.

My favorite overlook.. The higher overlooks are awesome but this one shows all of east asheville and has the mall and tunnel rd... Along with amazing sunsets and beautiful mountain view... Its also right across from a steep yet awesome trail to hike...love this place and have spent many hours sitting and meditating or out on a date... A must see!!

The best air in Asheville right here. Love to come here and sit and stitch for an hour.

Would have been 5 stars except that the waterfalls were dry. Still, a very good place to take a picture.

Definitely left a lot to be desired. The server was nice and people were polite. The outdoor seating offered good distance. The food was a crashing disappointment.

Beautiful views! Absolutely stunning. My only regret is that there are so many disrespectful people in this world who dont know how to enjoy nature.

Great lookout spot, lots of viewers just hanging out admiring the awsomness of the mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Families and friends just in awe of the views, some picnicking and some passing through.

Great overlook with a large view. A lot of the overlooks have overgrown but here you can see the farms down below and during the fall and winter you can see across to the parkway as it winds its way up the adjacent mountain.

Easy stop for some awesome views, about 5 or 6 of these along the highway up in these mountains Buzzard Rock was my personal favorite.

Awesome views of nature. Drive the parkway at least once in your life.

Im from here but this always a wonderful spot to sit and have lunch while watching the views.

You must stop for a photo of driving down the Blue Ridge parkway.

Some of the best mountain views . Great place to see overlooks

My gosh , the views from here are absolutely stunning and simply amazing. You could see the weather system just come in from one Mountain Ridge to another and you truly start to understand why they call it, the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. Both young and old alike would definitely like this. If you are a photographer make sure you have your camera ready because you will definitely want one for sure!

Whats not to like?! Its breathtaking!

Very nice place to stop and see.

Nice place to take in the fall colors.

Wonderful place to stop on a relaxed drive.

Beautiful born and raised in BLK Mountain N. C. The whole Parkway is beautiful.Come and see.Thanks.

Beautiful and a great experience for all ages .

The views are worth taking a look!!

Very nice. Just be careful if you are not from the area, as the people that are, drive at a faster pace than you probably will. That can get frustrating because you are going up a large mountain with curvy roads.

You get a semi top view from here.

Beautiful overlook to see the fading sunset colors with the smoke :)

Very beautiful scenery! A place of serenity.

Great pull off spot to check out the views.

Beautiful overlook and scenic in the fall!

The Tanbark Ridge overlook is a particularly scenic view point in the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville. This is a great place to make stop for some photography, or selfie shooting in the age of Instagram and Tiktok. Convenient parking, not a bad spot for a picnic lunch break either.

Gorgeous place to catch the sunrise. Only about 8 miles drive from an Asheville entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Beautiful and fun drive.

Beautiful views from here.

Saturday, Oct. 17, was beautifuf

Oh my God the views from here were absolutely stunning and simply amazing you could see the weather system come in from one Mountain Ridge to another and you truly start to understand why they call it the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. young and old alike will definitely like this. if you are a photographer make sure you have your camera handy you will definitely need one.

Great views.

Great view

Good view. Nothing too spectucular

Great spot for long range views.

Beautiful blue ridge lookout on the way to mount mitchell

Great view

Nice view

Love it! So far, this is the most beautiful place Ive had the pleasure of visiting! I lived in colorado springs at the foot of the rockies and it doesnt hold a candle to the blue ridge mountains, the elevation, where i was driving is actually higher than parts of the rockies as well! Ill be going back as much as possible! Beautiful!!

Nice Place

Had a great hike there and love the scenery! There is also good parking in the spot.

You dont have to drive all the way to West Virginia to enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway. Every time I go to Asheville I try to drive at least four twenty or Thirty miles. I go north on the Blue Ridge which takes me totally out of the way to South Carolina and then I drive back from South Carolina to get home. Its worth the extra two or three hours. My children love it and were always awestruck.

On a day when every other lookout was clouded, but this one want wasnt, I give it 5 stars.

Beautiful view.

Amazing! Absolutely beautiful!! and SOOOO peaceful.....definitely a must have experience, for sure!!!

Very nice views

Gorgeous overlook! I definitely recommend going during the fall to observe the leaves changing colors.

Beautiful

Pretty!

My back yard. Beautiful area.

Great place to stop and see the mountains

Just outside of Asheville, NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Amazing views on every turn and these images are less than 30 minutes into the drive. If you have some time when around Asheville, spend a little of it on this incredible part of our National Parks, you wont be sorry!

Its got a special place in my heart.

Beautiful. Recomnend to go take a look.

Its an enjoyable drive. However, I wouldnt recommend doing it on a cloudy day like I did. You end up driving through the clouds with limited visibility.

A great place to stop on a relaxing roadtrip.

Beautiful place to visit

See for yourself

Absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful scenery.

Grand view of a picturesque farm valley, as well as Mt. Mitchell. I go there to read, unwind, pick up trash, and take pictures for visiters when they want everyone in the shot.Also, its a grand place to watch weather events, and astronomical events at night.Have fun, and dont litter (even cigarette butts).....there is a convenient trash reciprocal.NO RESTROOMS

Beautiful!

Beautiful place to visit and to relax

Amazing 180° view to the southeast

Beautiful views!
