Take in the mountain air at Chimney Rock Park in Franklin, North Carolina. 25 miles southeast of Asheville, Chimney Rock Park offers relaxing outdoor recreation and a chance to get up close and personal with Mother Nature in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Go for a hike on one of the many trails, then cool off in the refreshing mists of Hickory Nut Falls.
You can even climb to the top of the 315 feet tall Chimney Rock to enjoy the breathtaking view. The best part is that you don't have to be an expert climber or athlete to make it to the top.
