    New Years

    Such an amazing day trip on New Year’s. Looking glass falls is beautiful. We also went up to Slidingrock which was amazing for pictures. In the summer season it would be really nice to have a picnic lunch at this park.

    Beautiful!

    Worth a drive if you're in the area. We stopped at looking glass falls but it looked like there were several other stop offs that would have been worthwhile to do!

    What a forest should be

    Sliding rock and the surrounding area is quite beautiful and looks to be quite a popular place in the summer. The entire forest looks beautiful and is serene and calming.

    So Much to See and Do

    A must see!

    Without question, this is a must see if you are in this area. A drive through beautiful mountains, with many scenic overlooks. There are a number of waterfalls, and hikes throughout. Access through Brevard, or the Blue Ridge parkway, weather permitting.
