: Thanks MMMMarcia for your response. You seem to have the most fun out of this site. After viewing the pictures, it looked as if you were having a great time with a few tears, at the 1998 trip. My brother and nephew live in Ashville. I visited last June and also went to Chimney Rock; however, we took the lower trail and now I wish I had taken the high trail. We missed your group by just a couple of days. I'll be going back again. The scenery and mountain trips are beautiful. I still watch "Last of the Mohicans" quite often. Thanks again, I enjoy your notes.
Hi, Karen! I do have a lot of fun with this board, that's for sure, and I had a wonderful time at last year's Gathering, as you have apparently seen. To clarify just a bit, the lower trail (which you took on your visit) is where all the Chimney Rock filming was done. The tearful pictures you saw were taken at Table Rock, where the final scenes of the movie were filmed. The upper trail at Chimney Rock is beautiful in its own right, however, and certainly well worth hiking. The views are splended from there, even though none of the movie was filmed along it.
Why don't you think about joining us for next year's Gathering? You can enjoy all of the Park, plus several other film locations, each more beautiful than the last. You can't go wrong in that part of the world! There will be more info on the 2nd Annual Gathering posted very soon. We are ironing out a couple more details. Believe me, it is going to be fantastic!!
