What is a Go Card?
 

Chimney Rock Park is as beautiful and natural as the Blue Ridge Parkway itself. This stunning mountain attraction features a variety of family-friendly hiking trails suited for all fitness levels. Some take you along the cliffs past unusual rock formations, overlooks, and bridges to 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls. Others lead through the woods where you’ll discover large, whimsical hand-crafted animal sculptures and an infinite variety of birds and wildflowers. If you’re not up for all the activity, a 26-story elevator inside the mountain can help get you to the top!

Entry: Go to the far left drive-up window or walk into the ticket plaza and show your Go Blue Ridge Card.
