While many flock to Daniel Boone’s one-time stomping grounds (the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell) to soak up autumnal views, our vote is the under-the-radar Elk Knob State Park, where you won’t be bumping elbows with hordes of tourists. Once you’re there, be sure to check out the volunteer-built Summit Trail — it clocks in at 1.9 miles one way to the 5,520-foot pinnacle — where you can scope out Mount Jefferson, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell and the Iron Mountains of Virginia and Tennessee from the top.
