If you are looking for a hike that's not too long with good views, you may want to consider Ivy Creek Overlook. It is only 1.4-miles and it travels through a forest of beautiful mountain laurel, oak and pine. There are several switchbacks and several large rocks to pass, which add interest to the journey. About midway, you can observe Skyline Drive, and at the terminus there is a small reflecting pool.
