Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina


Our girls just before the hike to the swinging bridge and top of the mountain.  A perfect day.

I can't even describe to you how beautiful it was to sit up on the peak and look out over the valley.

Checking out all the tangents along the trail.


Jules and Ava love to hike.  Makes this momma soooo happy.  You should have seen them scurrying up the rocks and jumping over roots and giggling all the way on their great adventure.  Jules would be in this photo except she tearing up that trail ahead.  : )

We did not see this suggly fellow on the way up.  The park has some large open spaces on the side of the mountain where native animals can be viewed in their habitat: black bears, otter, deer, cougar to name a few.
