Little Lost Cove Trailhead

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The trailhead is actually on the left of the road, not the right. Follow it until you see (as of May 2021) pink & blue trail markers together, and turn right down to the lower Little Lost Cove Creek Falls.

Yonahlossee Overlook
Scenic spot
πŸ‘πŸ‘ The Yonahlossee Overlook was a great little overlook on the Blue Ridge parkway near Blowing Rock, NC. We easily spent an hour here (to be honest 20 minutes was a six year old melt down about not being first into the minivan, but the other 40 minutes was lovely) When you park, take the path to right...
