Part of Skyline Trail is now open at Chimney Rock

Posted on September 5, 2009 by Inn on Mill Creek

We were excited to learn that Chimney Rock Park recently reopened a portion of the Skyline Trail to a point fittingly called Exclamation Point, a little over a half mile from the Chimney. Exclamation Point is at an elevation of 2,480 feet and is the highest point in Chimney Rock Park, even higher than the Chimney. The trail is still closed to the top of the beautiful Hickory Nut Falls as work continues to improve the trail.

Here are a few special events we discovered at www.chimneyrockpark.com that we’d like to share:
