So You’ll Know…
The views are accessible to everyone!
The easiest way to reach the Chimney is to ride the elevator up a 26-story shaft blasted through solid granite. The cool 198-foot tunnel to the elevator stays a comfortable 55-65 degrees year-round. You'll get a brief introduction to the Park from the elevator operator on your way up to the Sky Lounge – a gift shop and snack bar with a view! Then it's just a short distance across the clear-span bridge to the stairs to the Chimney. Trails and the Chimney itself are not accessible for folks in wheelchairs.
- Wheelchairs and baby backpacks are available.
- Use of strollers on trails is not recommended.
- There are no restroom facilities or water fountains along the hiking trails.
- Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Pets on a leash are welcome in the Park except in the Sky Lounge Deli and in the elevator (NC State health law). Guide and service animals are permitted.
