Linville Gorge Shortoff Overnight 4K

A friend & I decided to do a short overnight on Shortoff as her first visit to the gorge since it was the last weekend we could go before permit season began! This is just a video showing our hiking and the scenery. No mileage points or anything ... though a short rant I did include about people leaving their garbage behind (or trying to burn it).
Along our adventure ... we enjoyed a drizzly afternoon as we hiked up the Shortoff/MST trail, nice fireside chats, a sunrise, and a gorge side lounge spot before making our way down Shortoff via Olson to return to our cars at Wolf Pit trailhead.

Looks like you had a great trip! Shortoff is pretty amazing! I’ve never camped there but have camped 4 times in the Chimneys and once by the river, so that’s on my list. I heard they’re going to close down the road to the trailhead for Shortoff because of people not abiding by the rules of driving slowly so as not to create dust and being disruptive to the residents there. I can’t stand when people don’t have the common decency to respect nature and not pack out their trash. Anyway great video as always!

Thank you for watching! Hopefully you'll get to camp at Shortoff ... last I heard the residents have said they'll keep the road access open as long as people follow the rules! So hopefully a few idiots don't ruin it for the rest of us! But at least the residents are giving us another chance to do the right thing. My favorite spot that I keep going back to is the one up on Sitting Bear ridge where you have that rock outcropping looking east - it just never gets old! But really any campsite in Linville is amazing - I saw one on top of Babel Tower that looked awesome too! Happy trails :)
