The one lane bridges across the Little River (at Townsend and Walland) are still there, but are only available to foot traffic. There are two lane bridges now nearby for vehicular traffic.
There was a time when walking bridges went across.
Closer to Townsend. Condemned long ago. That is a good place.
A bit rough and tumble back in the day. I enjoyed every minute of it. The mountains can speak a sort of freedom.
You cannot get that from the city. Make sure you do the caverns while you can. Tuckaleechee is amazing. Do the Lost Sea as well, you will be impressed.
