For the holiday weekend, we took Alex and Harper out to the mountains. Alex wanted to take his little sister to his favorite spot for a hike, so we first went to the Wolf Pit Trailhead for Linville Gorge. Shortoff Trail heads up the mountain from here. Alex really enjoys the rocky steps climbing up the mountain. Near the top, it meets up with MST and has really great views.
We hiked as far as the campsite with stunning views of Table Rock and the gorge. There was a group camping here, so we just got a couple pictures and let Harper get her first views of Linville Gorge.
It was really windy up here, so we couldn't stay long anyway.
Once we started heading down the mountain, the wind died down.
Heading back down to NC-126, we made a stop at Fonta Flora County Park.
The Fonta Flora State Trail runs along the shore of Lake James through the park.
After a mile or so, the trail opened up and had really nice views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
There was a bench along here where we stopped for a break and then turned around.
We had worked up quite an appetite by this point and headed into Las Salsas for some delicious fajitas. We hadn't eaten here in a while and I was glad the food was still delicious and portions huge. Then we headed to Lenoir to check into the hotel for the evening.
