I don't know how often I've mentioned this, but, my kids are great adventurers and hikers. We're up to 2 miles of hiking with kids and not carrying either kid. They whine very little, so long as they are fueled by a treat at the halfway point and when we are finished.
This trip our hikes were all about soaring views. We explored Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain and Rough Ridge (right off the parkway).

| View of Linville Falls. We also went to a viewpoint at the top of the falls. |
 |
| After a mile of uphill hiking. Still happy. |
 |
| I think the sign says it all. |
 |
| Daddy encouraging future paratroopers... |
 |
| By getting them to stand on the edge of an outcropping. "Toes off the edge, kids," he called. |
 |
| The summit of Grandfather mountain. |
 |
| Jumping on the swinging bridge. No one else wanted to come on the bridge with my wild hopping family. |
 |
| At the summit, Dustin put Logan on his shoulders, then he jumped up and down, then he leaned over the edge with Logan. I actually yelled at him, "Stop that right now Dustin Cole, or I will vomit right here!!" To worry wort Michelle this is not a place to screw around with my kids. Thankfully Logan protested to Dustin's antics too. |
 |
| See worry wort Michelle. |
 |
| Lookout at Rough Ridge. We could see Charlotte from here, which is ohhh 3 hours South. |
 |
| This is the type of trails we were on. Logan probably had the best workout out of four of us. |
