Grandfather Mountain State Park is also home to some of the area’s most epic trails (including several with ladders to climb massive boulders). The 6,684-foot Mount Mitchell is the tallest mountain in the Eastern US, with numerous different hiking trails and a relatively easy and short paved path to the observation platform at the summit. So naturally there are a lot of things to do along the way, including some 200 remarkably scenic Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks that offer stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is the longest linear park in the country, taking travelers through the Jefferson, George Washington, Nantahala, and Pisgah National Forests. It’s also the #1 most visited unit in the entire US National Park system and one of the best destinations to visit in the USA in June.
Stretching 469 miles through the Blue Ridge Mountains– from Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia– the Blue Ridge Parkway is arguably the most epic road trip in the United States of America.
