Highest Point on BRP

At 6,047 feet, the Parkway's highest point delivers exactly what visitors come for—sweeping mountain views and that signature Smoky Mountain atmosphere where clouds literally touch your face. Motorcyclists and driving enthusiasts especially rave about the winding route up from the Cherokee area, calling it a dream ride. The scenery is consistently praised as photo-worthy and a must-stop on any Blue Ridge Parkway journey, though some note that growing vegetation is beginning to encroach on overlook sightlines.
