    Tips

    Cycling

    The Big Witch Overlook (Milepost 461.9) is a popular stop on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It peers out at a couple long mountain ridges that block any views of mountains further behind. If pedaling uphill, you really start to notice the elevation gain around this area, as this viewpoint tops out at 4,160 feet.
