Linville Gorge Wilderness
Information
The Linville Gorge Wilderness area is literally in our back
yard. The Cherokee called it "Eseeoh," meaning a river of many
cliffs. Hiking and backpacking enthusiasts have called it the Grand
Canyon of the East. Backpacker Magazine has often referred to it as
one of the wildest, most rugged gorges in the eastern United States.
We are talking about Linville Gorge.
