If you're not afraid of heights or one way roads up a mountain with a spectacular view then this is definitely a place to visit!

Beautiful views, except for the Ohio direction. The trees are blocking all of the Ohio direction and most of the west Virginia side. Beware if you want to hike to Jenny falls. There is no signage letting you know that it is strenuous

Amazing place to visit we absolutely loved it. I gave 4 stars because of the road. I feel like it should be said it’s a gravel dirt road for 5 miles to park. Thankfully we have a SUV.

No visitor center just a couple signs before you head up the steps that tell about the old fire tower and when they built the new one.

Is there a camp ground for RV near here

There is camping in the area. Cane Patch near Pound is excellent and sites with limited hook ups are in the area. Breaks is also an excellent choice 30 minutes away. I was on staff there last year as an Adventure Guide. If you want solitude and aloneness, the hiking there is great. G'luck.

It's free and not handicapped accessible. You have to climb many steps.

How many states can you see from the top

Kenneth Yates | Nov 1, 2017
Joseph Larrimore | Nov 1, 2017

I was there on a cloudy day, and I could still see 10-15 miles in every direction. So, two states, KY and VA.
