Shortoff Mountain Summit
Start your hike from the Shortoff Mountain Trail off of Wolf Pit Road at the base of Lake James. From the summit there is a small grassy area off a side trail that provided awesome cliff side views of the Gorge and Linville River! You can setup after making the hour and a half trek (maybe just in time to witness one of the best sunsets ever).
If you start the hike late and you're lucky, the sk...

If we come up to an awesome spot, we sometimes think there's always a better place just down the trail. Look what's in front of you and know i...

I was there during a to...
Camp at the Chimneys in the Linville Wilderness
The Chimneys area is a lesser-known camping destination within the Linville Wilderness. The Chimneys are a series of rock formations that rise above Linville Gorge and provide unobstructed panoramic views of the gorge and surrounding mountains. These rocks sit adjacent to Table Rock which hosts world-famous rock climbing. There are several camping areas alongside the Chimneys hiking path. Sleep...
