 Linville Falls Hiking Trails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo main hiking trails
  lead to views of Linville falls. Both begin at the Linville Falls Visitor
  Center and pass through remnants of a virgin hemlock forest mixed with ot
 her familiar tree species such as white pine\, oaks\, hickory\, and birch.
  A colorful and varied display of wildflowers decorates the trails in spri
 ng. Red and golden leaves in fall beautifully contrast with the soothing g
 reen of hemlocks. The Linville Falls trails range in difficulty from moder
 ate to strenuous.\n\nErwins View Trail\nA moderate 1.6 mile round-trip wal
 k\, offering hikers four overlooks\, each revealing a different aspect of 
 the Linville Falls area.\n\nThe first overlook is 0.5 miles from the visit
 or center\, and is a moderate walk with a slight loss of elevation. Here\,
  the Linville River spills gently over the upper falls where it widens and
  pauses. Drifting into a narrow canyon\, the water suddenly spirals out of
  sight and plunges 45 feet over the lower falls.\n\nThe next overlook\, Ch
 imney View\, 0.7 miles from the visitor center\, is the first point on the
  trail where the lower falls can be seen. It offers an excellent change to
  photograph both the upper and lower falls. The overlook is named for the 
 chimney-like rock outcroppings located to the right of the waterfall. The 
 trail is strenuous in this area with considerable elevation gain.\n\nAt Go
 rge View Overlook\, hikers can see the Linville River cutting its way thro
 ugh the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area.\n\nThe Erwins View Trail ends at E
 rwins View Overlook\, 0.8 mile from the visitor center. From this vantage 
 point hikers can enjoy a panoramic view of the Linville Gorge and a distan
 t view of the upper and lower falls.\n\nLinville Gorge Trail\nThe trails t
 o Linville Gorge (1.4 miles round trip) and to Plunge Basin (1 mile round 
 trip) also start at the visitor center. The trail to Linville Gorge forks 
 0.2 mile from the visitor center. The right fork takes hikers to Plunge Ba
 sin Overlook where they can view the lower falls and the Chimneys. The lef
 t fork winds down through rock cliffs to the bottom of the falls where the
  force of the water cascading over the falls creates a large pool. Both of
  these trails are strenuous.\n\nSwimming in the Linville River and climbin
 g on the rocks is dangerous and not allowed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\nPac
