Well, I learned last week that hiking is a great way to spend a beautiful day with friends and nature. The photos above were taken last week while staying in Gatlinburg, TN. A great place to visit and if you need a rental company, we recommend www.mountainchalets.com.
I was pretty worried about the hike, for I felt unprepared physically. However, my friends pushed me through it and it was quite wonderful. A mile and three-quarters up/lunch/mile and three-quarters back down the mountain in a total of about 4 hours. A great thing to do and a great place to visit! This was Megan’s trail near the 441 National Ranger’s Station. There’s a historical hunt and fish club that I’ll post some pictures and links later.
I realize that Gatlinburg is not in South Carolina; but, the mountains are! 
Here’s a picture of me on the way down. The girls said, “This was my right of passage!” Thanks, for a WOW time on the mountain trail, girls. I’ll be back in March for another excursion.
