A breathtaking view of rolling mountains under a clear blue sky. The Green Knob Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway takes its name from the mountain whose rocky face is located across the parkway. One can enjoy spectacular views into the valleys created by the headwaters of the Catawba River. Views to the southwest offer waves of ridges and valleys that continue into the distance. This view might look familiar as it appears in the opening scenes of mist shrouded mountain valleys in the movie, Last of the Mohicans. This spectacular view was taken on a splendid autumn late afternoon in 2019
