Linville Falls is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains off the Blue Ridge Parkway and marks the start of the Linville Gorge. There are several distinct drops taken by the Linville River with the final part of the falls comprised of a 45 foot, high volume plunge. Legend has it that Native Americans used the falls for executions and no one ever survived the last drop.

I have a bad habit of looking at pics before I read the post, so when I looked at your pics I didn't pay close enough attention to the drop, but WoW! The water actually curves around thru the rock to the last drop... Remarkable & beautiful captures, Brian!
That top shot needs to be enlarged, framed & hung on the wall!!! =)
