Shining Rock Wilderness

Backing up onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, we get this view up the gorge. Near the back of the photo the river spills out of Graveyard Fields. Below the photo is the portion of the river shown in the previous photos in this gallery. Do you have the will to explore the portion in the middle?
