Linville Falls today! Trails are open again after summer repairs. A 2-mile roundtrip hike takes you to five viewpoints, including this one at Erwin’s View. Fall colors just beginning, so peak is in 2-3 weeks. Enter from the U.S. Forest Service Parking Area off NC Highway 183 (on Old NC 105). The entrance from the Blue Ridge Parkway is still closed from flood damage, along with trails there. 19 miles from Banner Elk. | Visit Banner Elk
