Abstract:
The National Park Service has recently over the Linville Falls area and has stationed a ranger at the falls. A number of trails run off the ridge and into the gorge below the falls. Davis describes one of them, the Pine Gap Trail, which is not for the faint of heart, because it is a trail more in name than in actual fact. It is a plunging trail, not for walking, but for slithering and sliding and grasping at whatever your hands can find. At the bottom, though, it becomes somewhat easier for the walk to the falls.

Whether novice or expert, any visitor could venture the great outdoors from mountains to coast. Watercraft activities included canoeing in Chowan River and whitewater rafting in the Ocoee River. Adventure could be found in forests such as Nantahala through hiking and backpacking. For those mountain trekkers, there was horseback riding through the Great Smokies and rock climbing on Shortoff. Coastal Plain adventures included bicycling along the Manteo to Murphy stretch and hand gliding off of Jockey’s Ridge.
