Family Hiking

The last two Saturdays, Cheryl, Nathanael and I have gone hiking.  It has been a blast!

Last week, we went up to Clarksville, GA and climbed to the top of Pine Mountain to the David G. Archer overlook.  It was incredibly beautiful. (See my previous post for details.)

This weekend we went to Sweetwater Creek State Park.  It was also very cool.  There's some Civil War era mill ruins right on the creek.  The "red" trail, a nice walk to the ruins, is rated "easy".  After the ruins, the trail ramps up to "difficult" as it runs parallel to the creek.  There's quite a bit of rough terrain on this part of the trail as it leads to a small waterfall.  From there we took the "blue" trail back.  Of course, Nathanael thought it would be good to run again.

We're finding it's a great way to get outside, have family time, AND exercise.  We're loving it.
