Lesley M: Went on a Monday, only one other family there. We bought the $60 bucket for my two teenagers to share. Theres a geode in the bucket (which they can help the staff crack open), plus fossils and LOTS of gems (even big ones). Honestly way better than I expected! Both my teens loved it. Shop also had some really beautiful gems, stones and "claws" for sale.
C White: This was a very nice walk not very long maybe half a mile there and back if not .2 more but when you get there, you’re immediately met with cool breeze and nice streams with a moderate size waterfall. We climb on the rocks just do it carefully. There’s also the DuneBlue Ridge cabin Dune rental right next to it, which is a nice overlook. Highly recommended you don’t need to have a strenuous walk there are hills, but it’s nothing that you can’t handle if you are a typical walker.
The MAN: Visiting Blue Ridge for the first time. Brought family to the Arts center. Beautiful experience.... walked downtown then visited here. Free admission.
Emily P.: If you have a couple extra minutes on your way home, definitely take a pit stop here! So beautiful and plenty of parking when we went (Sunday early afternoon). Very much worth the scraped knee from slipping on the rocks lol.
