A large variety of mountain elements can be seen from the overlook at the Bald Knob Parking Area on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The view is wide and free of obstructions. On the left side are mountains so close that you could hit a golf ball to them. There is a valley with a view right down into its gullet and mountains in the distance as well. It is rare for an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway to have this much depth.
Supposedly the Bald Knob Ridge Trail comes through the area, though I did not see a trailhead at the parking area or any trailheads north or south of the parking area along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
