Travels with David: Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock State Park - Chimney Rock, NC - October 14, 2010

As part of our mini-vacation, we wanted to stop somewhere on the way to Asheville; well, we picked a great spot.  Chimney Rock is the poster child for NC and it is a great view.  The drive to the little village and up the mountain reminds you of Chattanooga and LookOut Mountain; not good.  I made the great decision for us to walk up to the chimney rather than ride the elevator; and well, let's just say that was fun; 30 minutes of straight up wooden stairs and rock steps; at 2280 feet above sea level; with several breaks on the way.  Molly is still reminding me of that decision.  A great place to visit.  Notice my own photo of the chimney taken from the Opera Box.
