Chimney Rock State Park, NC: October 19, ‘08


Chimney Rock State Park, NC:  October 19, ‘08
Sunday October 19, ‘08 saw us visiting Chimney Rock State Park for some out of door fun.  The Park is located 25 miles southeast of Asheville, North Carolina.  

 It offers the best of the mountains in one place, with spectacular 75-mile views, and a 404-foot waterfall (which was unfortunately short on water due to the drought in the area).
The waterfall was a bit short on water.

The hiking trails were particularly interesting.   


Many of them have wooden walkways with very long sets of steep stairs that are designed to protect both the environment and the visitor.   Of course if you aren’t into anything that strenuous. The park does offer an elevator service to its most popular lookout vista.
