Chimney Rock, Chimney Rock State Park, North Carolina

Here is a fact that I am sure you can use
Here is where you can see awesome 75 mile views

Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park represents the best of the North Carolina mountains in one place. Surrounded by the towering cliffs of Hickory Nut Gorge, the Park offers some of the most amazing views found anywhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

From atop Chimney Rock, an ancient monolith soaring 1,200ft above the valley floor, guests can see more than 75 miles across Lake Lure, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Carolina Piedmont. With unique hiking trails, the Park has something for everyone including the family-friendly Great Woodland Adventure trail with 12 discovery stations along the way. More adventurous hikers will want to take the Outcroppings and Four Seasons trails for some of the most unique views of the Park. 

Along with the Chimney, the Park's other star attraction is 404 ft. Hickory Nut Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River and featured in the blockbuster movie "The Last of the Mohicans." 

Chimney Rock also offers guided rock climbing lessons for beginner to advanced climbers through Fox Mountain Guides, a professional mountain and rock climbing company. The Old Rock Cafe offers tasty sandwiches and snacks, and souvenirs can be picked up at Cliff Dwellers Gift Shop. The Park offers discounts for groups, and is pet friendly.
