Trails: Craggy Pinnacle Trail
Picnic Tables: None
The Craggy Dome View parking area is where you will find the trailhead for the Craggy Pinnacle Trail, a 1-mile round trip trail to a 360° view from the summit of Craggy Pinnacle. This is different than Craggy Dome, which is the hill viewed over the top of the identification sign in the parking lot. The hike is highly recommended, for it provides one of the best views on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You do get a decent view of the mountains from the parking area, but for the real view, hike the trail.
For information on all of the trails in the Craggy Gardens Recreation Area, see the Craggy Gardens Hiking Trails web page here on National Park Planner.
