Good forOutdoor lovers
One of the simplest and most rewarding stops on the Parkway — a pull-off at milepost 154 with a 20-minute loop trail through a restored mountain cabin site. The cabin dates to the 1890s. The overlook faces east, which means Smart View is one of the few places on the Parkway where sunrise is the show, not sunset.
