Star Gazing Locations in Asheville

Clear skies and warm summer night set the stage for mountain star gazing. The rural areas surrounding Asheville NC and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway are ideal spots to escape the city lights and admire the heavens.

Some of the prime public locations are:
-Craggy Gardens picnic area on the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 364.4.
-Mount Pisgah on the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 407.0.
-Milepost 377.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway that turns onto NC 694. Go to Town Mountain Road, which overlooks downtown Asheville.
