The Yonahlossee Overlook is located at mile 303.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is the first overlook north of Linn Cove Viaduct on the flank of Grandfather Mountain. An 800-foot long social trail along the back side of the guardrail leads to the north end of the viaduct and some spectacular views of the viaduct and the mountain. I stopped on a cloudy and foggy day in June 2017.
