The Olson Trail is an “unofficial” offshoot trail from the main Shortoff Mountain Trail that begins at Wolfpit Road, near Lake James in Burke County, NC. It begins just after the juncture with the Mountain to Sea Trail (MST) at a small tree trunk marked by ribbon, traveling 0.66 miles as a one-way trail. Not for the faint of heart, the trail is recommended only for experienced hikers as it requires travelers to hug the side of 500 ft cliffs in places. It travels along the face of and just below the beautiful cliffs of Shortoff Mountain, making the unique views well worth the effort and trip, especially the visit to John’s Kitchen, an ancient cave once utilized by Native Americans (known from the ancient artifacts once found within the cave). The cave overlooks the western rim of the Linville Gorge and Pinnacle Mountain, offering views of both, as well as the Linville River below and Lake James to the south. Just beyond John’s Kitchen, the Olson Trail rejoins the Shortoff Mountain Trail as it ascends to the Shortoff Pinnacle. Check out a winter view of John’s Kitchen and the amazing ice formations within the cave.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. " ― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
I've loved the challenge of this water line. No matter how many times I've told myself to not compensate for the moving water, the tree anchor dancing around in the wind, the long boarders crossing the bridge and making a lot of noise, and the traffic on the highway flowing, these factors have still impacted my ability to send this line.
The more experience I get on the line, the better I am doing at bringing my focus back to my breath and keeping my feet soft while finding my ever changing balance and taking one step after another. I absolutely love how this practice does such a great job of giving instantaneous feedback and keeping my mind, body and soul in the present moment.
While I haven't sent the line yet, I set a new PR by getting 3/4th's of the way across this 117 foot (Anchor to Anchor) double stacked enlightenment line.
