Landform

A hard quartzite gorge the East still calls wilderness — Table Rock and Hawksbill over autumn hardwood, Wiseman’s View, and Linville Falls at the head.

Field note

From Wiseman’s View the walls go gold. Table Rock is the named summit. This plate is Linville Gorge Wilderness, not Pisgah’s Looking Glass and not a Blue Ridge parkway overlook.

Linville Gorge is quartzite wilderness — Table Rock, Hawksbill, Wiseman’s View, Linville Falls. Autumn is the week. This plate is the gorge, not Pisgah’s Looking Glass.
