Stack Rock Creek to Linville Falls Spur Road - Blue Ridge Parkway


Continuing my June 2017 drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I drove south from Linn Cove Viaduct to Stack Rock Parking Area (MP 304.8), Grandfather Mountain Overlook (MP 306.6), and Lost Cove Cliffs Overlook (MP 310.0). At the Linville Falls Spur Road (MP 316.4), I turned off the parkway to visit the falls. Along the way to the falls, I stopped at the River Bend Overlook on the spur road.
