Hurricane Helene tore through Linville Falls hard enough that the Parkway is now asking the High Country what it should rebuild and how. The 30-day comment window starts Sept. 1, and the plan covers everything from visitor access to making the place hold up better next time a storm hits. If you use those trails, swim in that water, or just need the Parkway to work, they want to hear what matters to you.
