South of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, by way of the Blue Ridge Parkway, you come to the town of Linville. If you head east you will find yourself in the Linville Gorge Wilderness. The overlook into the Gorge will give you a glimpse of a tract of land that was never logged because of how steep and rugged it is. Once upon a time the Cherokee Indians hunted and fished this land undisturbed. On this day we hiked to the bottom of the Gorge for a better view of the Falls. It is spectacular, shooting out of the side of the mountain before then continuing quietly downstream. We had the view to ourselves.
