At the end of the trail, hikers can head north towards Shortoff Mountain and Table Rock Mountain or south towards the Linville River.
This trail is a part of the Linville Gorge Wilderness Loop.
Designated as a wild area in 1951 by the Chief of the Forest Service, the Linville Wilderness became part of the National Wilderness System after the signing of the Wilderness Act of 1964. In 1984, the North Carolina Wilderness Act increased the acreage from 7,575 acres to roughly 12,000.
