I have not mentioned it, but we are right along the Blue Ridge Parkway and have been spending a bit of time up there. We traveled along the parkway with David and Fran to Linville Caverns and Linville Falls today. The caverns are not as big as some, such as Carlsbad, but it was fun. The cavern is about 1500’ deep and runs about a half-mile beneath the mountain. The part open to the public is about 600’ deep and there is a stream that runs through it. The temperature of the water is about 48 degrees, which keeps the interior of the cavern at 52 degrees year round making it very welcomed in today’s heat.
Linville Falls is in Pisgah National Forest and we spent a bit of time hiking down to the falls and then driving the back roads of the forest. It was a nice afternoon.
