An Eagles View

This entry has to start with one word. Wow. Big Walker Lookout offers a spectacular view of Wythe county, the land layout, farms, mountains and neighboring states.  It's breathtaking up there.  On a clear day (like the one shown here, you can see five (5) states from the top at an elevation of 3,405 feet (that is well over 1/2 mile up) so while its not a trek for the faint of heart, those scared of heights or anyone with certain medical conditions... it is well worth the effort if you are able to make the journey.   If you have ever dreamed of seeing the world from the perspective of an eagle, this is your chance!

You can get to Big Walker Lookout the same way you get to the Big Walker Store (last post), or follow this link to see information specific to the lookout, including directions and the calendar of events. There is always something going on here.

Enjoy your visit.
