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...

👍👍 Excellent views. The walk up to it is no joke! Most people stop to rest/ catch breath etc. It is paved, but a steep continuous uphill grade for a good half mile. We stayed for sunset. Amazing!
