The Point Overlook
Scenic spot
👍👍 Views can be had from the top, but most people don’t bother walking the little trail to the rock outcrop. Westward facing, so it’s good for sunset. As is typical at most parks, with a little bit of hiking and you’ll quickly find some solitude. We almost always have this spot to ourselves to watch th...

Tunnel Parking Overlook
Scenic spot
👍 Beautiful view, with an interesting tunnel! The overlook is right next to the tunnel. We went in Feb, and found icicles that made the tunnel look like a magical fairytale cave. The view out over the valley is simple, yet gorgeous. There is also a sign with some interesting pictures and info. I can't...

Signal Knob Overlook
Scenic spot
👍👍 A must-see spot for all of you guys into stargazing, sunsets, cloudy/foggy conditions, and just scenic views in general! Driving down from Front Royal, this overlook is good enough (compared to the other overlooks) in terms of elevation, views, and etc. Because of all that it offers, this overlook h...

Bickle Knob Observation Tower
Scenic spot
👍👍 Not a long ride from the road. It is bumpy though. Small path to walk before getting to the tower. The tower is in great shape and has been maintained for safety. I have been there during the day and at night. We enjoyed both visits the same. The best part about this tower is the view. It’s endless....

Oregon Hill Overlook image

Oregon Hill Overlook
Vista point
👍👍 We started here, taking the North Bank Trail section of the James River Park system. We hiked out about 2.5 miles and turned around for about 5 miles in 2 hours. It connects to the longer Buttermilk Trail. It's mildly strenuous in some places but nothing that any person in decent health couldn't han...

Bald Knob Observation Deck
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The train ride up the mountain to Bald Knob is more than just breathtaking views. You take a ride back in history that only the engineers and crew aboard Cass Scenic Railroad can offer. Highly recommend for folks of any age!! I also suggest a cushion for the nearly 5 hour ride. Your caboose will t...

Baughman Rock Overlook
Vista point
👍👍 Fall spectacular overlook! There is a nice trail plus a stunning overlook. This is one of my very favorite fall spots every year. If possible, don't just get out for the overlook and run back to your car. Get out along Baughman Trail and enjoy the fall ness and spooky ghost looking sassafras lea...

George Washington Memorial Parkway Second Overlook
Park
👍👍 Living in NOVA for over 20 years, this remains my favorite place to drive. The "Second Overlook" part was just Googles selected location. I love the entire drive - even through rush hour traffic (and that's saying a LOT). As you drive down the parkway, you are surrounded by luscious green trees a...
