Chimney Rock

What a beautiful weekend we had. Eric and I went to Chimney Rock, NC on Saturday for a day of hiking in the mountains. We arrived right when the park opened and made our way up to the top of Chimeny Rock. Although the morning was a little foggy, we had amazing views of the mountains and Lake Lure. We then made our way up the mountain further and hiked to the top of Hickory Nut Falls. Our hike down the mountain was also the trail where the last battle scene in Last of the Mohicans was filmed. We then enjoyed a nice picnic lunch and then made our way to the bottom of the falls. Not a huge water fall, but it was beautiful nonetheless. The colors in the rock were gorgeous and it was so peaceful to hear the sound of the falling water. By this time we had been hiking for about 3 hours and we had been up and down hundreds of stairs; it was time to go home and take a nap!
