Murder Mountain Run is a diverse and sometimes challenging ride, offering something for everyone. It starts and finishes at the Skyline Village Inn located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Most of the ride is either scenic byways with excellent views or peaceful country roads. Expect no or low commercial traffic on most of these roads.
Near the center of town, and just off Chesnut Grove Church Road, is the short hiking trail to the Grassy Creek Falls.
This 30 foot waterfall is located on private property. The property owners have graciously agreed to allow visitors to hike the trail and enjoy the falls. To get there, take Hwy 226a in the center of town to Chesnut Grove Church Road and go under the Parkway overpass. Immediately on your right is the Grassy Creek Falls Road. Turn right and park at the end of that road. There is a map and directions there.
Crabtree Falls is located in the Crabtree Meadows Recreation Area at MP 339.5 of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The trailhead is located outside Crabtree Falls Campground at mile marker 339.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A trail leads to a footbridge over the creek at the base of the falls. The trailhead loop starts at the parking area just before the entrance to the campground, and is a medium to strenuous hike at just under 2.5 miles in length. The path to the falls is a rugged, downhill 0.9-mile, with a gentler 1.5-mile uphill return following Crabtree creek upstream before looping back to the parking area.
Off the beaten path in the Linville Gorge area is the remote treasure of Wiseman's View.
Perched nearly 1500 feet above the Linville River, Wiseman's View overlooks the deepest gorge in the eastern US. From this vantage point, not only do you get a magnificent view of the rugged Linville Gorge, but you also get a commanding view of Hawksbill Mountain and Table Rock.
