It’s the middle of June, and that means the rhododendron should be flaunting their flowers up around Craggy Gardens. But there’s more to the Parkway than beautiful blooms– views, rare plants and salamanders, the whole Parkway is alive this time of year!
Come join us on a 1.4 mile, moderate hike to the top of Craggy Pinnacle and see for yourself. Meet at Craggy Dome Parking Overlook, Milepost 364.1. Bring water, wear good walking shoes, and be prepared for changeable weather.
