The Linville Gorge views from Tablerock, Hawksbill and Shortoff are right up there, that's for damn sure. There's something magical about that river of air that flows down thought the gorge.I’ve climbed in the Alaska Range, the French Alps, Scotland, Mt. Logan (St. Elias Mountains), the Wind River Range in Wyoming, Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, the Bugaboos in British Columbia, the Brooks Range, and elsewhere……many of those areas are more spectacular in a “jagged, rocky, glaciated” sense than the North Carolina mountains; the North Carolina mountains, New York’s Adirondacks and Catskills, Vermont’s Greens, and Maine and New Hampshire’s Whites all have their own beauty.
Not to say that a face full of Tetons isn't crazy magical in it's own right, but in a different and somehow less personal way than the the gorge (or maybe it's just my connection to that place that makes me think that way?)
