    You talk about it all you want! I have been going to Chimney Rock for 30 years & it remains my favorite place to go, we never get tired of it. Love those trails & The Last of the Mohicans, they used to have the movie soundtrack available in the gift shop by the Chimney. At the top of the newer Skyline trail, the cliffs ahead & to the right are where the old Skyline trail was(leading to the top of the waterfall where the fight scene happened, wish they had left it open), I have walked it many times, it used to be an easier hike because it was a loop trail so you didn't have to go back the way you came). The trail to the bottom of Hickory Nut Falls is spectacular, especially in Autumn, it's nice & wide & coming into sight of the waterfall just takes your breathe away. Thank you for this video, it's nice to see someone enjoying my favorite place even when I can't be there.

    Haha, I never thought of it that way! I guess I trust Mother Nature more than I do human ingenuity, lol. If you ever get a chance to head up to the top the views are definitely worth the trip. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

    @@KurtandSara We went to Chimney Rock last weekend. It's gorgeous. Driving through Bat Cave was interesting 🤣. Driving out of there on those winding roads made me so sick and I threw up all over my husband's truck. Yikes. Thankfully I'd only had a Clif bar and some water so there wasn't much to throw up. 🙃😊😂

    Chimney Rock is a nice day trip although a bit pricey at $17 a person … I recommend a drive to the top of Mt Mitchell which has a better view and it’s free !

    That's a hard question to answer, it depends on how good you are at climbing stairs, lol. (There are a lot of them but there is also an elevator as well) I'd say anywhere from 30 mins to an hour depending on how much you stop. Maybe longer if you go all the way to the waterfall. Thanks for watching!

    I do not know that, but its a lot. You can, however, take an elevator from the parking lot up through the mountain to the cafe platform area and then go up about 20 steps to the actual "chimney rock" overlook if you're looking to minimize steps. But you can go much higher than that all along the mountain there.
