Hiking

Sam and I have really tried to take advantage of all the beautiful trails we have here in our national park, lately. There are so many to choose from (about 40 miles worth!) so on the weekends, we try to get in at least one good one. On this first one, we decided to take along our camera for fun. It was on the Ridge Trail in Cumberland Gap. 

View of Harrogate:

Aaaand a phone selfie because we couldn't really get one with the real camera, lol:

This next one is just up the road. Apparently they have tours that you can actually go inside the cave (we were just at the entrance in these pics) but it was locked when we got up there. Looks cool though! And pretty views once we turned around and headed out:

Did this next one just recently with a couple friends... It's just a few miles that are right behind Sam's school, actually. But also has a view of Harrogate at the top, and also connects back to the national park on the backside of the mountain if you want to.. We've done this one before but this time, it was just too gorgeous to pass up a couple pics! And it was a noisy hike, for sure! With about six inches of leaves on the ground:

 

Now if I can just get a back carrier for Marshall, we'd be set! He really still fits fine in the wrap, but definitely getting a little heavier these days. ;-)
