Jonas Ridge Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Flowing around the bend to the gorge.
Linville Falls. beginning in a twin set of upper falls, moving down a small gorge, and culminating in a high-volume 45-foot drop.
A must see.
It had been raining steadily for days near Linville Falls. Parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway were inaccessible, but the rains made for a spectacular view of the falls after a relatively short hike. This photo taken at 36mm, F/16.0, 6 sec. @ ISO 100.
Jonas Ridge. This panoramic photo was taken June 25th around 1:30 pm. This view is less than a mile hike from the entrance of the park (mile post 316). Though the hike is rated “difficult” the gorge is a pretty easy hike…I would brace yourself if you plan on hiking down to the basin. Though this area has lots of winter resorts, Linville Falls is a great place for free fun in the summer time. The river basin overflows with people enjoying a refreshing swim after a nice hike. Though the people here do not look the same and appear to be of varying ages, they all gather in the same “hang out spot”. #AppalachianEchoes

This photo was taken on September 20th, around 4:30 pm. This overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway really shows how a moment of peace and quiet is only but a short drive from Boone, NC. I like to visit this area while the weather is still warm and the Parkway is open for whomever wishes to visit. The Blue Ridge Parkway, though likely not the quickest route to any destination, sure is worth the extra gas money. While cruising through some of the most beautiful parts of North Carolina and Virginia, the plethora of breathtaking overlooks entice you to stop what you are doing and quite literally enjoy the view. There is a calm that overtakes you when on the Blue Ridge. What you are seeing in front of you makes you feel so small and distant from the rest of the world. However, when you look to your side you see the handful of other spectators who are likely looking for tranquility. #AppalachianEchoes
