Thoughts/Observations:
Hiking with Gracie. This was her first "serious" trail hike; plenty of rocks, boulders, steep up and down-grades. She handled them all well! Gracie is such a great trail buddy. We played frisbee twice during the hike. Once near the Chimney Rock viewing area and then on the beach near the confluence of the Chimney Rock Trail and the North Cherokee Ridge Trail. I believe Gracie enjoyed the trail hike greatly -- lots of new smells and sounds.
The trailhead area has been remodeled -- new picnic tables and concrete handicap access to the picnic area.
Thank YOU, LORD, for this beautiful day and this gracious creature -- Gracie is such a blessing.
We are both looking forward to a cheeseburger for an after-hike treat!
