For Taylor Anne's 16th birthday, we asked her what she wanted to do. "Go to the mountains!" was her reply. So, off we went - we decided to take her to one of our favorite locations while Mike and I were dating, Linville Falls. It's a beautiful location in Pisgah National Forest. Taylor Anne's birthday was filled with new sights, new favorite places, and some really fantastic views.
The Appalachian mountains are full of beautiful and breathtaking sights. There are fantastic hikes with well maintained trails, the Linville Falls Hike is a wide gravel path for most of the way. There are several overlooks, and some sections of stairs which require you to pay close attention to your footing.
Interesting History of Linville Falls:
"The name came from the fact that William Linville and his son were killed by Shawnee... while they were hunting. Apparently, the Shawnee were on their way to attack the Cherokee, and thought the hunting party would alert the Cherokee. So, they killed the hunting party, and this was named 'Linville Falls.'"
In this episode, it is labeled "Part 1" - we had so much fun on this trip, we couldn't possibly fit it into one video! Please come back to check out "Part 2" next!
