Hero: Kistler Memorial Highway (Old NC 105)
small-aa Icon
Following along the western edge of the Grand Canyon of North Carolina, the Linville Gorge, Kistler Memorial Highway is an experience not to be missed. Across the gorge, views of Table Rock, Gingercake Mountain, Sitting Bear Mountain, The Chimneys, and Shortoff Mountain provide epic backdrops to a roller coaster road that many refer to as Old NC 105. The views are supported by campsites nestled in rhododendron, pine, and the misty air the Blue Ridge Mountains are known for.
