Sunset Overlook

Sunset Overlook earns its reputation as one of the premier stops along the Blue Ridge Parkway, with visitors consistently praising the sweeping Tennessee-side views that photographs simply can't capture. The location offers a unique experience where you can literally stand in both North Carolina and Tennessee simultaneously. Beyond sunset viewing, it's gained attention among photographers as one of the darkest spots in the area for Milky Way photography, while daytime visitors are often treated to the surreal experience of being above the clouds.
