Today we did a couple of short spurts further north on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This post is a small post about “Jumpinoff Rock”. I’ll post separately our other walk which was at what they call “The Lump”.
Jumpinoff Rock is outside of Glendale Springs, NC. This little leg stretcher is on a portion of the Mountains to Sea Trail. It is 1 mile round trip through a forest path to a beautiful view of the mountains. I’d call it easy to moderate. What causes the moderate piece is probably 1/10 of a mile or so where you have a pretty good hill to walk up. After about 1/2 mile you will arrive at a fork in the trail. Mountains to Sea Trail continues on to the right. Bear to the left and you will quickly arrive at a nice overlook.
Since this is so short, I suggest that you then head south on the parkway and visit The Lump, which you will see in my next post.
Attached are just a few photos from today. Run your cursor over each for a brief description.
