This is a short video of my 4th and final hike during a day of peakbagging and viewfinding on September 2 around the upper Hickory Nut Gorge. Earlier I hiked to Little Pisgah Mountain, Bearwallow Mountain, and Sugarloaf Mountain. I neglected to take video of these hikes because they were short. For some reason I decided to break out the phone for the last hike, and this is the scattershot result. I only shot a few clips, and forgot to shoot a concluded segment. 

This last stop was to see Worlds Edge, a long band of cliffs below Sugarloaf Mountain in a newly acquired tract for Chimney Rock State Park. The easiest spots to get to were underwhelming along the defined trail, but if you keep scrambling along the cliff edge it opens up to more spectacular views south and east. There was also one cool view north of the main Chimney Rock area around Lake Lure. If you do this hike my suggestion is to turn around at the last open rocks I show in this video before the ridge drops down to Chinquapin Gap. We bushwhacked down to Chinquapin Gap from there and it wasn't easy. There is no discernible path to follow and the foliage got thick in spots. After the gap it didn't seem like there were more viewpoints along Worlds Edge Rd so we turned around. 

Hike was 2.3 miles with 504 feet elevation gain in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
