Blue Ridge Parkway Devils Courthouse Compass Poster

The Devils Courthouse Overlook located on milepost 422.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the must see stops along this scenic highway. At just a 1 mile roundtrip, hikers can summit this 5,720’ ft peak to an observation deck with sweeping views stretching across four states. Though this trail ascends nearly 300 feet of elevation, its mostly paved surface makes it easy for visitors of all skill levels to traverse. Not just a pretty place to visit, this forested outcropping is also home to a variety of endangered plant and animal species including several nesting pairs of Peregrine Falcons. Steeped in Native American lore, the Cherokee People believed an inaccessible cave located just below the peak was once the home of a mythical slant-eyed giant and a dance hall for the devil himself.
