There is a nice view at the top but I think it has become overgrown so you only get to look out in the one direction for a view! The beginning of the trail is the steepest part which is paved but once you get past that it’s just a slight incline to the top. There is a bench about half way up the trail to stop and rest as well as two benches at the top to sit and relax. Very quiet and relaxing trail that takes about an hour there and back. Not a lot of roots or rocks to worry about...

This is a nice well kept walking trail. Its even paved for a small portion of the way. Couple of benches to sit down along the way. It is ideal for mountain biking and seems to be fairly secluded. I never encountered anyone along the way going up or down. My biggest complaint is when you get to the senic overlook, there is no senic. Lots of trees and bushes blocking the view. Path is great for exercise not so...

Short and easy 25min trail! The view has gotten a bit covered with it being summer and the trees are full of leaves but if you want to knock out a quick hike this is a great one! It also had multiple benches for a rest at the end before...

✨the perfect little leg-stretcher on the Blue Ridge Parkway- short, scenic, and totally doable with kids. 😍 📍 Buck Mountain Overlook Boones Mill, VA (off the Blue Ridge Parkway, MP ~123). 🥾 Distance: ~1 mile round-trip (about a 0.5 mile climb to the top). 305 feet of elevation gain the way up is ascending but makes the descent very pleasant 🌿 Terrain: starts paved then becomes a mix of packed dirt, gravel/rocky sections and woodland path so sturdy/comfy shoes reccomended but totally family friendly. 👀 Views: peek out over the Roanoke Valley and rolling Blue Ridge ridgelines..golden hour here is chef’s kiss. (Heads up: some spots are a bit overgrown, but the lookout still gives that “we made it” moment). 💡 Nearby gems: Masons Knob overlook MP126 In 1750 John Mason settled at the foot of the mountain. During the Indian raids of the French and Indian War his dwelling was used as a stockade. The farm animals nearby are out to visit often. 👩‍👧 Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you almost drive past. 🌤️ Save this for your next fall or winter Parkway stop💛 #hikingadventures #blueridgeparkway #familyhike #blueridgemountains #virginia
