Skyline-Cliff Trail at Chimney Rock Park NC
Skyline-Cliff Trail Loop

Sheer cliffs, breathtaking views, and the dramatic plunge of a waterfall—just a few of the fascinating sights along the Skyline-Cliff Trail Loop. This one-and-a-half to two-hour, moderately strenuous hike courses through lush woodland and across natural cliffs and ledges on its way to such geologic spectacles as the 2,280-foot-high top of the Chimney, the remarkable overhang and panoramic vistas at Opera Box and the highest point in the Park, 2,480-foot-tall Exclamation Point (whose name speaks for itself!).
