When it comes to variety in hiking, you can’t beat this trail in North Carolina. You’ll find the Glassmine Falls Overlook to Bullhead Mountain Trail along the lovely Blue Ridge Parkway near Black Mountain. The enjoyable trek is about 4 miles out and back. And we love the variety in the dark mossy forests, flat rock vistas, and wildflower-packed meadows in the spring and summer months. Lots of roots and rocks decorate this narrow trail, but the views from the top along the way are spectacular.
