This is a hike off the parkway to a nice viewpoint. The Chestoa viewpoint is reached in just a short distance. If views are your thing, stop and enjoy because the trail that continues has overgrown views and does not really lead anywhere. The latter half is a loop and nice forested hike only.
Hiking Distance: 0.6 miles round-trip
