Driving and hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway is a draw for many visitors in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of our favorite quick and easy hikes is Craggy Pinnacle. This short hike (about 3/4 mile) gets you 360 views of the stunning mountains. (In the winter, check for road closures on the Blue Ridge Parkway website).
