Craggy Gardens Visitor Center (Milepost 364)

Buncombe County, North Carolina

Overview

Opening date for the 2026 season has not been announced. The small, historic visitor center and America's National Parks store is nestled in the gap between the rocky, Craggy Mountains. At over 5,000 feet elevation, harsh weather often invades these exposed ridges, resulting in the gnarled forests of beech, birch, and buckeye. These summits have been home to some of the most spectacular rhododendron displays along the Parkway corridor.
