Saturday, we went to Mt.Mitchell for a picnic and a hike. Sarah, Greg and Delilah came with us. We got some supplies and drove up the parkway. Here are us 3 girls at our picnic.
Unfortunately, the Observation Tower was closed, so we didn't get to hike to the top of the mountain. Instead we went on one of the lower trails.
But before we hiked, we went into the little museum. There were lots of neat things about the mountains of NC, including this old mountain man that Dave got his picture with (the only time we caught him on camera). Delilah was having fun pushing buttons...but when she pushed the one that made this big guy start talking, it scared her a little!
Here we are by the spring. This was on the first part of the trail. It was a tiny spring- just a trickle of water coming out of the mountain. It was nice and cool, and we all took a taste- refreshing!
Here is Delilah with the trail sign(she wore her safari dress). This is the trail we walked...all the way up to where it met another trail, but it was detoured because of the observation tower being closed, so we had to hike back the way we came. Altogether we hiked a little over a mile and a half! It was a fun day!
