CHIMNEY ROCK
STEVE MCBRIDE
North Carolina. There, you'll find the classic Chimney Rock, one of the southeast's
most popular travel destinations.
Chimney Rock State Park (800-2779611/chimneyrockpark.com)
provides
an ideal destination for weddings, family
picnics and scout trips. The park's Chimney Rock rises like a chimney and can be
accessed by the 499-step Outcroppings
Trail. To get there, be sure to wear com-
fortable shoes. And pack a camera to capture scenes from the Grotto, Subway and
Pulpit Rock. Obviously, you'll savor the
satisfaction of completing the trail to the
famous rock - at least while the elevator is not in service. But also remember
to watch the waterfall: At 404 feet, the
park's Hickory Nut Falls ranks as one of
the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.
generations recognize Chimney rock for
its american flag, flying atop the towering outcrop and fluttering in the breeze.
now, for 2016, you can pay tribute to this
inspiring icon on the morning of July 4
when a special flag-raising ceremony is
being held in recognition of the centennial
celebration of north Carolina state Parks.
return to "the rock" when the calendar
cools: gorgeous fall color makes Chimney
rock the perfect place to ponder the awe of
autumn. the panoramic 75-mile view offers
a grand perch for bird watching, overlooking the hickory nut gorge and lake lure.
Chimney rock also affords photographers
to conveniently capture the spectrum of full
fall foliage, from late september to early
november.
