Dave on the Linville Gorge Trail, between Babel Tower Trail and Spence Ridge Trail.
The Linville Gorge Trail is very rugged, with plenty of rocky trail to negotiate. It also continually undulates so there is plenty of elevation gain and loss over the course of your hike, even though there is very little net elevation change.
