For the Linville Gorge edition of our Spring Rhododendron Offerings, we set out for an adventurous full-day trip to Linville Gorge. This rugged landscape makes for incredible landscape photography. We’ll show you how to properly photograph this beautiful place!

These special Linville tours are not private, but are limited to two customers per day. 6 spaces total so we expect this to sell out! We are trying to minimize our impact to this wild and scenic location.

What to expect:

The Linville Gorge Wilderness is a rugged area. Hiking is necessary to access any of the spots worth photographing. None of the hiking options are considered “easy”. We consider the trails to be moderate, with some short stretches of the trail being difficult. Given that this is a full-day workshop, we may hit up a couple of different locations in the Linville Gorge, hiking up to 3 miles in one day. In other words, you should be in good shape and capable of doing a fair amount of hiking. If this does not sound like a good option for you, you should consider our standard Spring Rhododendron Tour, focusing on areas long the Blue Ridge Parkway. Driving time to the Linville tour is approximately 1.5 hours to and from Asheville for a total of three hours.
