Nearby Golf Courses

Devil's Knob Golf Course, located on the mountain, is open to Resort Members only. However, there are several other golf options in the area.
Located only 28 minutes away, this 27 hole layout is much more forgiving and enjoyable than the Devil's Knob course on the mountain.

Hiking

One of our favorite hikes is to rise early enough to see the sun rise from Hump Back Rocks. This is only about a 0.9-mile trail (1.8 miles out and back), but climbs 700 feet and takes around 45 minutes to get to the Rocks. There is a rock scramble at the end to give you the best views and we would not recommend this if you have young children. Responsible teens and up should be fine. The trailhead and visitor center are located at MP 6 on the BRP. This trailhead is about a 25-minute drive from our property. Note that the BRP is subject to road closures. For other information on trails in the area, we recommend downloading the “All Trails” app to your phone.

The Wintergreen hiking trail system is managed by volunteers and staff of The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen. There are miles and miles of hiking trails on Wintergreen Mountain with a 13+ mile loop that circumnavigates the enter property. However, the topography of this loop is very challenging and only the fittest of hikers should attempt the full trail in a single loop. Trail maps are available at the Foundation, but you can also explore the different trail options on The Nature Foundation website at: https://www.twnf.org/hiking-and-walking-trails/ “The Old AT” traverses through the Wintergreen trail system. The Appalachian Trail had previously run through the Wintergreen resort and property but was relocated. The “current day” AT can be accessed via The Shamokin Springs Nature Preserve trail (just northwest of our property near the corner of Blue Ridge Dr and Shamokin Springs Trail (road)), to the Old AT (Part of the Perimeter Hiking Trail) to the Current Day AT. This out and back hike would be about 2 miles, with 250 feet of elevation change.

The trailhead for this hike is about a 40 minute drive from Glimpses of Grace. This hike offers beautiful views of the falls at multiple points along the 1000 foot cling to the top. The lower falls are very close to the parking area. The upper falls require the full 1000 foot climb. The peak then offers a scenic overlook.

Wineries, breweries, hard cideries, and distilleries are prevalent down the Highway 151 corridor. Weekends often include live music and other events. Many also double as great farm to table restaurants.
