![]() More waterfall adventures in NC and beyond Please leave no trace and help preserve the beauty of Western NC. And no matter what you pack in, pack it all back out. We print and stitch our Asheville Trails shirts and hats locally in Asheville and Atlanta, and they’re our favorite for trail adventures all over the South. Ready to hit the trail, but wondering what to pack? Our hiking gear list features our favorite, trail-tested hiking gear for day hikes on local trails and in the backcountry. Hiking gear list: our favorite, trail-tested gear WHAT TO PACK? (And while it’s technically just over two miles, it’s fully worth the hike!) The trail to Linville Falls scores outstanding vistas of the falls from multiple overlooks, and hikes through rolling forest filled with fragrant hemlocks, pines, rhododendrons, and ferns. Hike to high-elevation views of the stunning cascades and grab views deep into the gorge. This short but ultra-scenic trail is relatively level, with only moderate elevation gains along the way, and the base of the falls is the perfect spot to stop and enjoy the views before retracing the hike to the trailhead.Ĭascading through a series of dramatic falls, the Linville River churns and tumbles through Linville Gorge just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. ![]() Hike through dense thickets of beautifully blooming rhododendron, following a rocky, boulder-filled creek to the stunning cascades of Big Laurel Falls near Standing Indian Mountain. ![]() (Look familiar? These falls have starred on the big screen in films including The Hunger Games and The Last of the Mohicans.) The huge rocky outcrops at the base of the falls is a great spot for a little relaxation and a mid-hike snack. Hike along the banks of the scenic Little River through a lush forest to a trio of exceptional waterfalls. The Triple Falls Trail at DuPont State Forest packs three incredible falls into a one-mile, family-friendly adventure. A shady picnic area at the trailhead makes a perfect spot for a post-hike lunch or snack. Hike the short paved trail to outstanding views of the falls from the upper platform before descending for a closer view. One of the highest cascades in the East, Whitewater Falls plunges more than 400 feet in multiple cascades of wispy white tendrils. The cool, clear pools below the falls are a favorite swimming hole on warm summer days, and it’s one of the most-visited cascades in the exceptionally beautiful trail network at DuPont State Forest. This hike follows the Litte River downstream, catching beautiful views from the river’s lushly-forested banks. ![]() Up for another adventure in the area? Don’t miss the nearby short hike to Moore Cove Falls, and explore a wispy cascade set deep in a shady cove.Įxplore the broad, symmetrical, single cascade of Hooker Falls on this short hike just over a half mile. Colorful wildflowers spring from mossy rocks in warm weather months, brilliant foliage frames the falls in autumn, and frosty icicles hang from the towering cliff in winter and early spring. And Looking Glass Falls is gorgeous in any season. The spectacular single-tiered cascade puts on an outstanding show, and roadside access allows visitors of all abilities to enjoy the falls without a long hike. It’s easy to see why Looking Glass Falls is one of North Carolina’s most popular falls. You’ll catch cool misty breezes and an interesting perspective from a shallow rocky cave behind the spilling water. Hike the short, mostly paved trail along a steep chiseled rock outcrop and behind the plunging 65-foot tall waterfall. Dry Falls is one of our state’s most unique falls, and a must-do when in the Highlands and Cashiers area. ![]()

![]() ![]() Listen to Me Marlon winds up being more a map of the inside of Brando's head than anything else, bookended by computer-generated images of his face from digital scanning. He substantially changed acting forever (something the movie explores), but is also a tragic figure, someone whose life was marked by both a deep sense of justice and hatred for those who misuse power, and by a lot of messy relationships from childhood onward. The film is a stunner, a patchwork of images, clips, narration, stories, interviews, and more that look at the youth, rise, fall, and obsessions of Brando, who is arguably the greatest actor of all time. The film is chilling on its own, but this seems important. As a Christian, and as someone who has in the past been part of spiritually abusive groups, I was left wondering how we can more carefully combat that in our own world-it starts with eschewing rampant church celebrity culture, I think-and how we can also care for survivors. And it is troubling to me to consider what it is in human nature that can lead us to follow someone blindly and do things to their own harm that don't make sense, especially in a religious context. I sat quietly, though, thinking about the abuses of power that I've seen over and over this past year in our own branches of Christianity, with leaders deposed for moral failings that range from abuse of power to abuse of children. (The answers had a lot to do with where he gets his money-all businesses owned by FLDS members apparently funnel all profits back to the church, which means to Jeffs.) The temperature in the room was heated afterward, with everyone asking what they can do to help end Jeffs' reign, especially since he is still running the church from solitary confinement in Texas, and people are legitimately concerned that blood may be shed at his command if he remains unchecked. And even harder to watch in a crowd of Utahns, some of whom have undoubtedly been touched by the incidents far more than those of us who have flown in from the coasts. It's more or less a real-life horror film. A number of his relatives-and wife #65-talked to Berg for the film, too. The film is really a history of Jeffs, chronicling his rise to power and his terrible abuses, particularly child sexual abuse as he married girls as young as twelve. The author John Krakauer accidentally stumbled across the FLDS while driving through Utah and started to investigate, which eventually landed the FLDS prophet, Warren Jeffs, on the FBI most-wanted list (literally next to Osama Bin Laden) and then, eventually, in jail. (Fox Searchlight has the film.)Īfter conducting some interviews downtown, I headed back up to one of the big theaters to see Prophet's Prey, a documentary by Amy Berg (who made Deliver Us From Evil, the documentary about priests and child sexual abuse) about the FLDS, which is the fundamentalist break-away from the Mormon church-the branch that believes that the LDS church was corrupted when it abandoned the doctrine of polygamous marriage in the nineteenth century. It's a film that is worth most anyone watching, and especially anyone who has to work with shifting definitions of truth in their daily life. And Felicity Jones-recently nominated for an Oscar for her work in The Theory of Everything-sneaks up on you as Hill's wife. ![]() Franco is (I say somewhat begrudgingly) absolutely terrific in it, and Hill is always good. That said, the film itself leaves a lot of things wide open in what I think is a pleasing fashion, and serves up real humans who are using the truth for all kinds of ends. True story: I fight that urge a lot, as do most of the writers I know who both have integrity and would like to pay their bills. (The other two are The End of the Tour and Best of Enemies.) This is something I think about all the time, both because I studied creative nonfiction in graduate school (a fraught term if there ever was one) and because I write for the Internet, and I know, as well as you do, that if I want to get a lot of hits all I have to do is write something slightly hyperbolic. ![]() This wasn't the best movie I've seen at the festival, but it's worth noting that it's the third one that's explicitly about journalistic ethics, and particularly how we manipulate and shape the truth to get people to read our stories. His real name is Christian Longo (James Franco), and Finkel goes to meet him in prison, only to get sucked into a back-and-forth match with Longo over the relationship between truth and storytelling. He returns home in disgrace to Montana, only to discover that someone has been using his identity in Mexico, and that the thief is also a man accused of murdering his wife and three children. True Story is based on the, well, true story of Mike Finkel (Jonah Hill), the New York Times reporter who was fired for fabricating some material.

Data scientists largely understand that they will need to cope with inconsistent codes from differing sources. It is understood that beyond changing content, developers may have to handle record structures that change shape over time.
