Bonas Defeat Gorge is a beautiful but dangerous section of the Tuckasegee River in Jackson County. A trip through the gorge should only be attempted by experienced off trail travelers.This gallery is a combo of pictures from different trips.
Thanks for posting the warning. I was considering a hike to Bonas Defeat. I'll now consider it to be a much more serious undertaking than I originally thought.

If you have opportunity to go into gorge after extreme cold you will expirence a true icy winter landscape with columns of ice appearing to flow over rock formations and forming stalactite and stalagmites. Awesome, but one must be very cautious for it is very dangerous.
Cool off-trail exploration. I hope there wasn't too much butt abrasion. I assume that you knew in advance that there would be no releases of water while you were there.
