ミッチェル郡のおすすめランニングルート

In late spring and early summer this trail has lovely wildflowers from wild blueberries, flame azaleas, to rhododendron. This trail is frequently windy and colder than lower elevations so it is good to wear layers on this trail even in summer.

Great vantage point so you can see the waterfall from a sufficient distance

Very nice view of the waterfall

Excellent hike on a full moon night. Bring a jacket since it is almost always windy up there. My photo in the highlights is on a full moon night.

The Linville Gorge Trail follows the Linville River the entire time and offers access to the many trails climbing in and out of the river valley. The singletrack path features some rolling hills with rocks and roots and continuous views of the water.

The viewpoints at the ends of the Plunge Basin spur trails are some of the most secluded overlooks at Linville Falls. The trails getting to the overlooks aren't used as much as the paths on the southern banks of the river, so expect the running to be a little slower on this side of the water.

Linville Falls is the combination of 3 cascades, which help create one of the most visited spectacles in the entirety of Pisgah National Forest. There are a bunch of different areas where you can view the falls, but this is the most popular overlook on this side of the river.

The Chimney View is unique because you can see the upper and lower falls at the same time against a backdrop of rocky cliffs. This is a great spot for photography.
