Trail Address | |
The drive to the trailhead consists of a moderately long and timely stretch on a dirt road. While it’s not too many miles once the dirt road begins, the slower drive adds time. Towards the end of the dirt road after passing many trails, you’ll find yourself at a parking lot atop a hill that provides two hikes; Table Rock Mountain Trail and The Chimneys.
The Chimneys is one of the most epic hikes I’ve ever done. About halfway through, you’ll find yourself trekking one of the main rims of Linville Gorge.

This hike is extremely adventurous with amazing views along the way. Of every hike I’ve done thus far, it reminds me of being in the movie Lord Of The Rings the most!
