Recommendations
WaterRock Knob
Similar to Devi's Courthouse in that you'll park at the overlook and hike up a mostly paved trail, however this is more strenuous and time consuming but a better view. In addition the parking area houses the Visitor Center with restrooms, coffee, and crackers (not many snacks but there is something).
Richland Balsam Loop
For those who love the smell of fir trees, this is your hike. A short 1 mile hike that climbs to the peak of Richland Balsam (one of the highest points along the Parkway at 6410'). There is no view but this is a great hike for immersion and also moss lovers, so much fun and easy difficulty.
