Adventure

We had a great hike yesterday! We started hiking around 8:00am and summited Mt. Mitchell around 5:15. We started at the Greybeard Trailhead. Went to the top of Greybeard Mountain, back down, back up to Rocky Knob, back down a little, then back up to Mitchell. What a day! I am pretty sure the Kid loved it. Great friends, beautiful weather and colors, and memories that will last. Follow me in some pictures.

This is one of the views. I think we are on Greybeard on this one.

There were 8 of us and this was the top of G-beard.

This was a rocky face part you had to hike up to get to

the top of Rocky Knob. We had lunch there once we got to the top.

Once you hit the Blue Ridge Parkway, you had to walk the road

for about 1/2 mile or so. Seemed like forever for some reason.

Once you got back on trail, we were in Mt. Mitchell

State Park for 3 hours before reaching the top. Last mile was so

steep, but not as steep as I remember it being the summer of 09'.

The whole gang on top of the tower on top of the Mt. Yes, I know.

You can drive to the top of this thing!! Not a huge fan of that, but thankful

for the ride down:)

Afterwards, we got picked up by our wonderful friend Stevie and went out to dinner at Chilli's. We were all pooped to say the least. We wanted mexican food but it was a 45 minute wait so Chilli's sounded like a quicker fix at the time. Hope you enjoyed the pics!
