Set back from the section of Skyline Drive between mileposts 79 and 80, the Loft Mountain area offers an attractive mix of upland hills, woodlands, and open areas where visitors can find trails to explore, birds and other wildlife to watch, landscape views to admire, and tranquility to relish. The area, which also has the park’s largest campground and other amenities, is similar to the Big Meadows locale farther north, but is usually less crowded—and it has easily reached overlooks with wide-angle vistas.

Parks and OutdoorsExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Arrange to stay at the Loft Mountain Campground, which is quite secluded and usually not overcrowded. But, despite its name, it's actually located a mile-plus away on Big Flat Mountain.
  • Use the Appalachian Trail and the local connecting trails to explore both Loft Mountain and Big Flat Mountain in search of moderate exercise, beguiling vistas, and local birdlife (especially ravens).
