Stone Mountain Hike

It was a great day for a getaway; today was the day, Stone Mountain State Park was the place. A short drive from home and some serious hiking to some breathtaking vistas and Stone Mountain Falls made it the perfect outing, even the rain drops didn't dampen our spirits. We feasted on a late lunch of fresh fruits, vegetables and homemade chicken salad, and washed it all down with sweet tea in a well built (dry!) picnic shelter~ heaven!

Life is Good!

Practically in my back yard, but I've never been there! Beautiful photos!

Salem Stitcher said...

I'm heading there soon myself (or so Nane tells me)! How was it for Hannes?

Nane said...

Its really pretty when the leaves changes too! There is another trail that takes you to the other side (Wolf Rock) that is a great picnic destination as well. Glad you got to go!

Great hike. We did that several years ago and saw some black bears across the valley to the other mountain.

We've been on Stone Mountain too. It was much later than we were thinking, because we had to come down when it was dark and spooky. Even saw a fox!
