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.[/i][%@] For the entire master plan and associated 25-year timeline, check out the following link:[J%%] [url]http://www.ncparks.gov/About/plans/master/chro/ex_sum.pdf[/url] Woohoo![{i}] [/quote]    Upload an Image File From Your PC For Insertion in Your Post    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
