Sunset Stroll Across the Viaduct, Milepost 304

Blue Ridge Parkway Daily — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 21:44:38 +0000

A serene winter evening stroll along the Viaduct.

The award-winning, quarter-mile Linn Cove Viaduct hugs the face of Grandfather Mountain and is recognized internationally as an engineering marvel. The rugged slopes of Grandfather Mountain proved a challenging task to engineers as they completed the last section of the Parkway here in 1987, 52 years after construction began. It is a masterpiece of engineering that preserves the beauty and protects the fragile and ecologically sensitive slopes of Grandfather Mountain by curving naturally with the mountain’s contours.

We rushed up the trail to see the sunset from Craggy Pinnacle. At first we were disappointed not to make it before the fog rolled in, but the view of the sun and ridgeline through the fog was extraordinary.
