Glassmine Falls Overlook is an easily accessible Blue Ridge Parkway elopement location with beautiful mountain and valley views. A short paved walk leads to another viewing area, making it a wonderful option for couples who want Blue Ridge scenery without a hike. After periods of rain, Glassmine Falls can be seen cascading down the mountainside across the valley. We often pair a ceremony here with portraits at nearby Craggy Gardens or Craggy Pinnacle for even more variety and mountain scenery.
