Chimney Rock, in Hickory Nut Gap, is justifiably a far-famed spot of unique scenic interest. Tryly indeed, in this, "Heart of the Blue Ridge", is there a blending of the sublime and the picturesque -- the exquisite verdure of the Southern Appalachians. Towering precipices 2,000 feet high, rendered accessible by roads, bridges, trails and even stair-ways. Water-falls of greatest beauty. Broad River tumbling noisily hundreds of feet -- by the very side of matchless highways -- in its onward rush to the sea. The Bottomless Pools, -- those mysterious caverns that have been so baffling to all beholders. Weird and interesting caves, notably Bat Cave and Rumbling Cave. These and so many more, but feebly convey the charm and repletion of this wonderland.

Location and Access [of Chimney Rock]

The Charlotte-Asheville Highway (via Hendersonville) a superb motor road, is the avenue of access, either by private or public service cars.

Vacation Land -- Veritably is the this caption true, -- yea, for a day or even for a summer, the lure of the spot is irresistible!
Among amusements and sports are motoring, mountain climbing, dancing, swimming, fishing, riding over miles of mountain trails, or -- simply idling away the vacation days -- pleasure alike for the strenuous, the retiring, and for the nature lover. More than pleasure, a vacation spent here will mean to all who take it renewal of bodily vigor and rejuvenation of spirit. Obey that impulse and come.
Chimney Rock Highway. -- This private road built at a great expense is perhaps the most beautiful and the most perfectly maintained scenic highway in the East, -- double track, safe, low grade -- No one should fail to take it, and too, "Bring your Kodak."
