Looking for a high point before hitting the town? Cruise up to Standing Rock Overlook.
Nestled at 3,915 feet on the Blue Ridge Parkway, this place isn’t just a spot on the map—it showcases epic vistas of mountains and valleys that stretch endlessly into the horizon.
Standing Rock is close enough to Waynesville for easy access, yet far enough to feel like a mountain retreat. A real visual punch that’s great with a puff.
Do you have hunger pangs after a visit to Standing Rock? Head straight to The Sweet Onion, a culinary hotspot in the heart of downtown Waynesville.
This place is a local legend, famed for dishing out some of the town’s best eats.
Dive into favorites like the creamy Sweet Onion Soup or the soul-satisfying Mama Helen’s Fried Chicken & Waffles—each bite is a flavor fiesta.
The Sweet Onion is more than its rave reviews and top rankings. Its charming vibe and never-ending menu make it the go-to spot to satisfy those munchies.
