Wiseman's View Scenic Overlook
Scenic spot
👍👍 This was an amazing overlook of the Linville Gorge. I don't know the history, but it looks like it may have been a 1930s CCC project, with beautiful granite rock steps leading to a walled overlook area. There is also is a modicum of public amenity at the top. Namely, there's a clean outhouse, and...

Linville Falls - Trail and Waterfall
Hiking area
👍👍 A great place to visit! The green trail was a moderate trail a little over a mile long and there were several places to stop and see the falls from different view points. The red trail was harder. There were a decent amount of steps on the green trail. Nothing overwhelming, but if steps are hard for...

This trail is also a loop trail. There are 2 different trails leading off of the parking lot. The first i...

Wolf Pit Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 I think this should be Shortoff Mountain Trail (which starts at the end of Wolf Pit Road). From what I could find, there's no such thing as Wolf Pit Trail.
This hike starts out fairly steep. It cuts off to the right (follow the sign) and then there's a series of switchbacks to the top of the mounta...
