It was too pretty of an evening to go home straight after church. Larry suggested a hike on Bear's Den.
We stopped by the house to pick up my niece, and also the boys' good friend, Robert.
I have never been to this scenic vista before. It was really special!
Large rocks are everywhere and are good for climbing.
This beautiful lodge is open to the public for restrooms and to spend the night if hiking on the Appalachian Trail. There is a nice fireplace inside that would be wonderful if the weather was cool. We looked into renting it for a certain holiday and although it was cheap and available- it was too small for our needs for that particular day. No matter- I hope to go back to hike some more when time permits. I can see what folks love about this place!
