Do you like pretty views? Of course you do! Who doesn't? What is better than being able to see for miles in literally every direction you look? We'll tell you: being able to do it close to home! We checked out the highest point in Raleigh (that's not a building) and fell in love with what we saw. A 360 degree view of gorgeous green fields and trees! You can even see the silhouette of the Raleigh skyline.
The park is located on top of an old landfill off of Durant road. It's super easy to locate too. when you turn off of Durant, follow the road until you see a blue sign that points left to the park. You'll see a parking lot at the bottom of the hill. We parked there. When you park, turn right and walk a little bit until you come to a gravel road on the left. You'll take a short walk up around the hill. Located: 9300 Deponie Dr Raleigh, NC 27614
When you're done there, head over to Chuck & Bucks for some delicious, home-made ice cream! This store is so cute and family friendly--not to mention the owners are super sweet! They have a stack of board games in the corner for you to play with the kids. They also bring in fresh, locally made pasties, pies, and cakes to be enjoyed as well. There is a separate section for flavors with peanuts for all of the peanut sensitive customers. One scoop is $2.85 plus $0.99 if you want a fresh made waffle cone. Located: 4610 Capital Blvd Raleigh, NC 27604
