Linville Gorge

[Ja Rhule]

I'm going to Grandfather moutain tomorrow and since Linville falls right down the road I decided to spend few hours on hiking. Do any of you know some good hiking trails with beautiful waterfalls? I got about 3 hours to kill.

There are a million trails in the area. If you are going down into the Gorge, I recommend Wisemans View, a short trail but a hell of a view. Also the Babel Towers trail is pretty awesome. Since you are going to be at Grandfather, if you go the other direction on 105 towards Boone you can hit Hebron Rock Colony, which is one of my favorite quick hiking spots in the area.

You should be able to pick up a local trail map while at Grandfather.
