Shortoff Mountain View

Description
After running to the top of Shortoff Mountain, you'll be greeted with a huge view looking up the depths of the entire Linville Gorge. From the top of Shortoff, you can see the Linville River carving its way through the gorge with the peaks of Hawksbill and Table Rock towering above. On a clear day, the views are breathtaking, and a run in the fall will reward you with outstanding colors in Linville Gorge.
Half-Day Run: The viewpoint is located two miles from the trailhead at Wolfpit Road.

Update
i went out with intent of hiking the loop counterclockwise from wolf pit rd. the trail was cruising and the views were awesome. the more hikers i talked to the more I learned that most people do it as a thru-hike from Table Rock parking lot to Wolfe pit or an in and out from one of the respective parking lots. it's the same thing on the other side of the Gorge. the bridge is washed out fording The River is not an option. I had to settle for an out-and-back. I hate out and backs. on the positive, REI hiking project actually put a blue dot accurately where I was on the trail.
