    Hiking

    Standing at 2,883 feet tall, Shortoff Mountain is one of the tallest peaks in the Linville Gorge Wilderness area. The summit is made of rocky outcrops, and you can even find a small pond just off the main trail. There are great views of Table Rock Mountain to the north. This spot makes for a great picnic place before continuing your hike.
