Roaming Knob Camping1296 viewsThe wall is about 300 ft high and the Roaming Knob, shown here camping with family members, is about 5 ft tall.

Go there in Winter, it is worth the moderate hike. Summer brings lots of leaves to block ones view.

LOOKING GLASS ROCK1256 viewsLocated near Brevard, NC and a moderate 7 mile hike, round trip, is one of the most scenic views along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
