Chimney Rock, NC
This is a great little journey...
By little I really mean, it is straight up!
Stairs, stairs, and more stairs.
We absolutely loved it...great exercise and beautiful scenery.
For us our journey began at 0900 on a Thursday morning. Our first stop on the journey to Mama Camp.
It cost $13.00 per person to enter, which I thought was too much! although I later realized that there are many other things within the state park to do and it is VERY well maintained. So maybe it really is worth the money?
By getting there early we beat the sun and the crowds.
Actually, it was foggy when we arrived and therefor we did not get to enjoy a spectacular 75 mile view that is boasted in the advertisements. that didn't really bother us much as the fog cover kept us cool as we trekked UP the BAZILLION stairs!
The journey included several spots to stop and take in the gorgeous views, rest on bench and catch your breath or stand on the edge and have your breath taken away! Also, there is a tunnel to climb through and a little cave to climb in.
Even with the fog, which gave us the perfect climb temperature, it was a fun and enjoyable journey for the entire family ages 42 down to 7.
