Description

The views, that is definitely the highlight of this full day trek around the Looking Glass Rock.

Located in the Appalachian mountains in North Carolina, near Asheville, the Looking Glass Rock is truly picturesque. And the views you will get of, and from this beautiful rock formation are nothing short of spectacular. Hence why it is such a popular destination from hikers from all over.

Due to the popularity of the Looking Glass Rock, this trek will not have the same element of solitude that can be found in other treks in the area. However, what you may lose in quiet, you will definitely gain in gorgeousness. The stunning nature of the views you will get on this trip cannot be stated enough. They are that incredible. And because this trip is available all year round, those views are as diverse as they are sensational. So if you want to see the forests change color, visit during the autumn. If you want to see the Appalachian mountains under a blanket of snow, come in the winter. And if you want to see this vast natural area come into bloom, come in the spring and early summer. No matter what time you come, you will have an unforgettable experience.

The hike itself will last approximately 8-9 hours. The distance covered is approximately 10 kilometers. You should be in good physical condition to participate. And while it is not a very difficult trek, any past experience would be a plus.

If you have ever wanted to see the glory of the Appalachian mountains in North Carolina, then send us a request and let us take you to the Looking Glass Rock. You will not regret it.

Great guides and great snow!

Peggy

Will was great wise and fun to spend the day with.

Phillip

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Lucie

All perfect

Amanda

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
