The 1992 epic romantic adventure Last of the Mohicans starred Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. From the stunning opening shot looking out on the hazy folds of the Blueridge, to the dramatic final scenes set against the backdrop of rugged Rumbling Bald Mountain, Last of the Mohicans made spectacular use of the natural beauties of Chimney Rock Park and the Hickory Nut Gorge. During your visit to Chimney Rock Park, you will be able to walk along the trails and see sites that became the incredible scenic backdrop for the film. The last 17 minutes of the movie were filmed along the Cliff Trail, including the climatic fight scene at the top of Hickory Nut Falls. Ask at the park ticket plaza for a written guide, and enjoy the views from locations where key scenes were filmed along hiking trails in the park. Ask, too, about annual Last of the Mohicans fan gatherings in the park.

Add this to your stop, it really is worth it. Its called Chimney Rock in the Chimney Rock State Park. Cost $17 Per Adult, 5-15 is $8, under 4 is free. It does have an elevator in the mountain that takes you to the top. People are super friendly and the little town is awesome! It was a short stop but we ended up making it a full day stop. Note: I visited late April which is a "slow" time to travel so my experience is with almost no people in the parking lot and no lines. I am not sure how this place is in its busy season.
Nice place and great view !
Costly to enter but beautiful scenic views. FYI, if the elevator to the top is out you have to take the stairs. Over 400 stairs! But, it was a fun stop on our trip. Met lots of people on the stairs too :)

Michael Mann has somehow avoided the same sort of pop culture reverence as many of his contemporaries (such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and William Friedkin), but movie lovers who are "in the know" would be quick to tell you that Mann's body of work is every bit as impressive. Mann is, of course, best known for his work in the crime genre, delivering staples like "Thief," "Heat," and "Collateral," over the years. Given the director's proficiency in the realm of crime fiction, 1992's period thriller "The Last of the Mohicans" is a bit of an anomaly in his cinematic oeuvre. Based on the beloved novel from James Fenimore Cooper, and set during the height of the French and Indian War, the film follows a trio of the titular native peoples (Daniel Day-Lewis, Russell Means, and Eric Schweig) as they attempt to escort the daughters of a British Officer (Madeleine Stowe and Jodhi May) to the safety. Things do not go according to plan, with Mann and company delivering an electrifying tale of survival full of thrilling set-pieces, brutal fight scenes, and well-executed romantic entanglements. And it's all meant to be set against the lavish backdrop of upstate New York's Adirondack Mountain range. However, "The Last of the Mohicans" wasn't actually filmed anywhere near the Adirondacks, with the production shooting much further south, among the dazzling vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
For point of reference, the Blue Ridge Mountains largely run through Western North Carolina, though they stretch into parts of several other states. And yes, they're a long way from the Adirondacks. But per MovieLocations.com, most of "The Last of the Mohicans" production indeed went down in The Old North State. Specifically, the film was largely shot just outside of Asheville, NC and the nearby DuPont State Recreational Forest. In terms of jaw-dropping mountain views, "The Last of the Mohicans" could not have been better served by the region's lush forests, lakes, and riverside settings. Some of the key shooting locations, as Greensboro News and Record boasted in 1992, were at Lake James in Morganton, the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, and Asheville's Biltmore Estate. Mann made particularly good use of the area's abundant water falls, with the Hickory Nut Falls proving a truly stunning backdrop for the film's final showdown between Means' Chingachgook, and Wes Studi's Huron warrior Magua. Ditto for the aptly-named Bridal Veil Falls, behind which Day-Lewis' Hawkeye utters the famous line, "Stay alive no matter what occurs. I will find you." — though the scene itself was apparently shot on a soundstage. And as for the picaresque Triple Falls Hawkeye and the gang traverse en route to safety, they're every bit as lovely in "The Last of the Mohicans" as they were in 2012's "The Hunger Games." As it is, if you're ever in the Asheville area, you can actually visit most of the film's more prominent locations. And if you're a fan of the film, that trip would be well worth your time. The Last of the Mohicans is a 1992 American epic historical drama film set in 1757 during the French and Indian War. It was directed by Michael Mann and was based on the 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 by James Fenimore Cooper and the 1936 film adaptation, owing more to the film than the novel. The film stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe, with Jodhi May, Russell Means, Wes Studi, Eric Schweig, and Steven Waddington in supporting roles.

The soundtrack features music by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, and the song "I Will Find You" by Clannad. The main theme of the film is taken from the tune "The Gael" by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean. Released in the United States on September 25, 1992, The Last of the Mohicans was met with positive reviews and commercial success during its box-office run. It won the Academy Award for Best Sound, the only Oscar won by a film directed by Mann. Day-Lewis received his second nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance. In 1757, British Army Maor Duncan Hayward arrives in Albany, New York, during the French and Indian War. He is assigned to Colonel Edmund Munro, the commander of Fort William Henry in the Adirondack Mountains. Heyward is tasked with escorting Munro's two daughters, Cora and Alice, to their father. Before they leave, Heyward asks Cora to marry him, but she does not give him an answer. A Mohawk named Magua is tasked with guiding Heyward, the two women, and a troop of British soldiers to the fort, but he is actually a Huron who leads them into an ambush that kills most of the soldiers. Mohican Chingachgook, his son Uncas, and his white, adopted son "Hawkeye" arrive and kill all of the Hurons except Magua, who escapes. The trio agrees to take the women and Heyward to the fort. During the trek, they find another massacre at a farm, but do not stop to bury the victims so as not to alert the Hurons to their presence. Cora and Hawkeye are attracted to each other, as are Uncas and Alice. They find the fort under siege by the French and their Huron allies, but manage to sneak in. Colonel Munro is surprised to see his daughters, as he had sent a letter warning them to stay away, but it was never delivered by Magua. Heyward becomes jealous of Hawkeye when Cora tells Heyward she will not accept his marriage proposal. A militiaman sets out at night to try to reach General Webb at Fort Edward for reinforcements, with Hawkeye, Chingachook and Uncas providing covering fire from the fort. After Munro refuses to honor an agreement made by Webb that the militiamen could leave to protect their homesteads if they were threatened, Hawkeye helps them sneak away. He is arrested for sedition and sentenced to hang. However, when he learns that Webb will send no soldiers, Munro is forced to accept French General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm's terms of surrender: the British can leave the fort honorably with their arms. Magua is furious because he bears a personal grudge against Munro. Once Munro, his soldiers and civilians leave the fort, Huron warriors attack anyway and massacre them. Munro is captured alive, but mortally wounded, and Magua personally cuts out his heart. Hawkeye, Uncas, and Chingachgook fight their way out, taking Cora, Alice, Heyward, and a few British soldiers. They hide in a cave behind a waterfall, but Magua finds them. Before Hawkeye, Uncas, and Chingachgook escape by leaping from the waterfall, Hawkeye tells Cora to stay alive and swears that he will find her. Magua takes his three prisoners to a Huron settlement. While he is addressing a sachem, Hawkeye walks in unarmed as a parley to plead for their lives. The sachem rules that Heyward is to be returned to the British, Alice be given to Magua for the wrongs done to him by Munro, and Cora be burned alive. Although Hawkeye is told he may leave in peace for his bravery, he offers to take Cora's place. Heyward, who is acting as interpreter, instead tells the Hurons to take his life for Cora's. After Hawkeye leaves the village with Cora he shoots Heyward, who is being burned alive, as a final act of mercy. Chingachgook, Uncas, and Hawkeye then pursue Magua's party to rescue Alice. Uncas races ahead, but is killed in a duel by Magua and thrown over the cliff's edge. Devastated to see Uncas’ demise, Alice refuses to remain with Magua and commits suicide by jumping off the same cliff. Hawkeye and Chingachgook catch up and slay some of the Hurons. Hawkeye then holds the rest at gunpoint, allowing Chingachgook to fight and kills Magua avenging Uncas’ death. Afterward, Chingachgook prays to the Great Spirit to receive Uncas, proclaiming himself "the last of the Mohicans."
Much care was taken with recreating accurate costumes and props. Daniel Winkler made the tomahawks used in the film and knifemaker Randall King made the knives.[4] Wayne Watson is the maker of Hawkeye's "Killdeer" rifle used in the film. The gunstock war club made for Chingachgook was created by Jim Yellow Eagle. Magua's tomahawk was made by Fred A. Mitchell of Odin Forge & Fabrication. Costumes were originally designed by multiple Academy Award winner James Acheson, but he left the film and had his name removed because of artistic differences with Mann. Designer Elsa Zamparelli was brought in to finish. Casting
Through the making of this film, actors Wes Studi and Maurice Roeves became lifelong friends.[5] LocationsAlthough the story takes place in upstate colonial New York, filming was done mostly in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.[6] Locations used include Lake James, Chimney Rock Park and The Biltmore Estate. Some of the waterfalls that were used in the movie include Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and High Falls, all located in the DuPont State Recreational Forest.[6] Another of these falls was Linville Falls, in the mountains of North Carolina. Also, Hickory Nut Falls at Chimney Rock was in the movie near the end. Scenes of Albany were shot in Asheville, NC at The Manor on Charlotte Street.[6] The set of Fort William Henry was constructed at a reported cost of US$6 million on felled forestry land (35°47′40.69″N 81°52′12.10″W / 35.7946361°N 81.8700278°W / 35.7946361; -81.8700278) adjacent to Lake James in NC. Highway 126, which ran between the set and the lake, had to be closed for the duration of the filming.[7] SoundtrackThe film opened in the United States on September 25, 1992, in 1,856 theaters. It was the number 1 movie on its opening weekend.[8][9] By the end of its first weekend, The Last of the Mohicans had generated $10,976,661, and by the end of its domestic run, the film had made $75,505,856 in the United States and Canada.[3] It was ranked the 17th highest-grossing film of 1992 in the United States.[10] Internationally, the film grossed more than $67 million[11] for a worldwide total of over $143 million. Alternate versionsWhen the film was released theatrically in the United States, its running time was 112 minutes. This version of the film was released on VHS in the U.S. on June 23, 1993. The film was later re-edited to a length of 117 minutes,[12] for its U.S. DVD release on November 23, 1999,[13] which was billed as the "Director's Expanded Edition". The film was again re-edited for its U.S. Blu-ray release on October 5, 2010,[14] this time billed as the "Director's Definitive Cut", with a length of 114 mins.[15] At review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes the film has a "Certified Fresh" rating of 93% based on reviews from 41 critics, with an average rating of 7.74/10. The site's consensus states: "The Last of the Mohicans is a breathless romantic adventure that plays loose with history -- and comes out with a richer action movie for it."[16] The Last of the Mohicans opened with critics praising the film for its cinematography and music. Critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three stars and called it "quite an improvement on Cooper's all but unreadable book, and a worthy successor to the Randolph Scott version," going on to say that "The Last of the Mohicans is not as authentic and uncompromised as it claims to be – more of a matinee fantasy than it wants to admit – but it is probably more entertaining as a result."[17] Desson Howe of The Washington Post classified the film as "glam-opera" and "the MTV version of gothic romance".[18] Rita Kempley of the Post recognized the "heavy drama," writing that the film "sets new standards when it comes to pent-up passion", but commented positively on the "spectacular scenery".[19]
