Cold Prong Trail-Blue Ridge Parkway-Milepost 299

---

Trail head: Milepost 299 Blue Ridge Parkway
Distance: 0.4 miles
Duration: 17 minutes

Skill Level: Easy

Cold Prong Trail off the Blue Ridge Parkway is a small loop for beginner hikers. Almost all of the hike is flat. You start at the overlook parking lot, and head right on the path. The trail is wide and you follow it until you come to a wide open area with a small foot bridge. After rains this area must fill up a bit, so there is a bridge. the trail loops around and before you know it you’re back at the parking lot. I would call this one an easy leg stretcher after driving on the parkway for a few hours.
