Review & FAQ:
Craggy Dome ranks in the top ten highest peaks with 1,000 feet of prominence in Eastern America, and at 6,105 feet at the summit, this mountain makes for a challenging but beautiful climb. The summit of this mountain is choked with rhododendrons and laurel bushes, but with a little creativity – or just a very long pair of legs – hikers can gain a pretty impressive view from the top. Hikers can use the Blue Ridge Parkway to reach the Mountains to Sea Trail, or the Douglas Falls Trailhead, both of which will lead to a smaller, steep, 1-mile path to the top.
