We visited
Chimney Rock Park, which is
located about 25 miles southeast of Asheville. We took a 26-story elevator
to the top of the Chimney, a 500 million year old massive rock jutting from the
mountain, to catch an impressive view of Lake Lure. We also hiked along
the Forest Stroll trail through deep woods to the most dramatic view of Hickory
Nut Falls.
