This guide includes 72 great day hikes ranging from 1 to 13 miles, with destinations like the stone tower of Hanging Rock State Park; Max Patch on the Appalachian Trail; the “Opera Box” at Chimney Rock State Park; the Blue Ridge Parkway’s Craggy Gardens; the waterfalls of Linville Gorge; and Gregory Bald in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
