Chimney Rock







While Sherri and Papoo were here we made a trip up to Asheville to see the Great Smokey Mountains. It was so beautiful. The first trail that we went on was to a waterfall. I was in charge of walking the dogs.....that was interesting. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We then took an elevator up a rock that was hollowed out up to the top of Chimney Rock.
The Chimney is the focal point of Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park.
Climb to the top of this towering 315-foot monolith located on the very edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains high above beautiful Hickory Nut Gorge. At a soaring elevation of 2,280 feet with its 75-mile views, this mountain top experience will take your breath away. And, you can get to the top of the "Rock" with great ease or some effort. It's up to you!
I took this from the web site. We took the easy way up! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the fresh air.
