This tower gave us an amazing view of the Appalachian Mountains and a chance to take scenic pictures during our Crooked Road music trail trip. The store is quaint and filled with handmade items and retro souvenirs. The ice cream is not to be missed and there is live local music on the weekends.
Our friends recently took us to this site. It was a beautiful view, but I am not sure it is worth the ride. The "country store" is more flea market and souvenir shop. We had ice cream - some of which looked like it had freezer burns so we avoided those. We were happy they did have some delicious frozen yogurt.
I love a drive up a winding mountain road and the trip from Wytheville to Big Walker Lookout did not disappoint. I highly recommend a drive up to see sunrise in the summer, especially if you have a convertible!
if you want a southern country mountain road this is it. Wish it wasn't foggy because the view is probably awesome. Take 52 to wytheville... The last part of the drive is pretty
Great ice cream and music. Very friendly staff and great views. One of the best places on rtrout. 52
Love to take old Rt. 52 and always HAVE to stop this old store. They are selling more locally made goods. I picked up some of the most delicious Black Walnut Bread. I hope they continue to add more handmade crafts and items.
Was a beautiful view but had to pay $6 if wanted to climb tower.... so didn't. ? General store ok, but could stand to be more friendly
20 minute ride well worth it. Staff are great and a wonderful view. Gift store was a classic and the view at the top of the tower was worth spending a couple of bucks.
This attraction was exactly what I expected it to be. At the time it was $6 to climb the tower, which gave a nice view of the valleys. Beautiful views and the ice cream I had was pretty good. I didn't explore the store very much, but I'm sure my wife would love to have looked around the quaint little store.
I have spent many Sunday afternoons browsing the shop and relaxing atop the mountain. Came here as a kid when there was a sky lift.
