A Drone Flew Over The Linville Gorge In North Carolina And Captured Mesmerizing Footage
Few places in the Southeastern United States have the ability to steal your breath away in quite the same way as the Linville Gorge in western North Carolina. Considered by many to be one of the last great places on Earth, the Gorge is almost overwhelming in size, scale, and rugged elegance.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

It was just too expensive to retrieve the wood once the trees were downed. As a result, the 10,000 acres that make up the Linville Gorge contain one of the only old growth, virgin forests in the state.

Table Rock, Wiseman's View, Dogback Ridge, and Linville Falls are just a few of the many.

It's one thing to view the Gorge from an overlook or a perfect mountain peak. But it's another thing entirely to see the Gorge up close and to view parts of the landscape man just can't easily reach.
