The Blue Ridge Parkway
Mile 168.0 - Rock Castle Gorge Overlook
This overlook is a personal favorite of mine because of the butterfly patch that I stumbled upon when visiting the overlook in July of 2007.  The Rock Castle Gorge Overlook provides access to the strenuous 10.8 mile Rock Castle Gorge Loop Trail.
