Attractions |
Chimney Rock State Park
Standing atop the Chimney Rock, a 500
million-year-old giant granite monolith
overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge, visitors are awed
by the breathtaking view that spreads 1200
vertical feet beneath them and 75 miles across
the Carolinas. The state-owned park,
located in Chimney Rock North Carolina,
encompasses 1,000 acres, including the Chimney
itself and Hickory Nut Falls and the beautiful
Hickory Nut Falls. Chimney Rock
Park is a "must see" for any trip
to the mountains. |
|
Hickory Nut Gorge
-
Rushing waters, rocky cliffs, a giant waterfall
and pristine forests make Hickory Nut Gorge a
popular destination for hikers, leaf-peepers and
photography buffs. Over eons, the Rocky Broad
River has cut through the mountainous terrain to
create the 14-mile gorge, which drops about 1800
feet between the town of Gerton and Lake Lure. |
