Linville Falls

Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina

Here are six photos of Linville Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Mile Post 316) in North Carolina.

Two trails provide a variety of views of the lower 45-foot (14-meter) main waterfall and two small upper falls. While the trails are not very long, the Linville Gorge Trail descends steeply to the river and could be considered strenuous, while the Erwins View Trail is less demanding.

All but the second of these photos were taken on May 3, after substantial rain. The second photo was taken on April 29, years earlier.
