Sunrise Trek to Eagle Peak
About This Trek
Experience the magic of sunrise from Eagle Peak, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This moderate trek takes you through diverse terrain including forest trails, rocky outcrops, and alpine meadows. The journey begins in the pre-dawn darkness, but as we ascend, you'll witness the gradual transformation of the landscape as the first rays of sunlight paint the mountains in golden hues. The summit offers 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. This trek is perfect for intermediate hikers looking to challenge themselves while enjoying one of nature's most beautiful displays. We'll provide headlamps for the early morning start and hot coffee at the summit to celebrate your achievement.
