Parks & Nature
This is one of our absolute favorite hiking trails in the area! It is about a 4 mile loop with a pretty good amount of uphill hiking-but the views of looking glass rock are worth it!

While this is a bit of a drive from Asheville, it is still an easy day adventure. Be sure to check the weather and bring the right attire. Rain and storms can roll in quick at this high elevation spot and temperatures are cooler than Asheville. The views are absolutely incredible and the trail connects to the AT if you go far enough.
