Posted - July 29 2011 : 5:44:14 PM CRP has announced that the Skyline Trail--and possibly the Cliff Trail--will reopen! Although it won't be the same as before, at least that area won't be kept closed:
A new alignment for the Skyline Trail will be established from Exclamation Point along the top of Chimney Rock Mountain to designated observation areas on top of the mountain. Observation platforms will be constructed to provide views of the top of Hickory Nut Falls, Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. The proposed trail will be constructed inside the existing tree line and not on the cliff faces of Chimney Rock Mountain.
The Cliff trail could be opened in the future in cooperation with a contractor who guides adventure tours, such as a via ferrata.
For the entire master plan and associated 25-year timeline, check out the following link: http://www.ncparks.gov/About/plans/master/chro/ex_sum.pdf
Woohoo!
