Nantahala Trial Crossing


The Nantahala Trail crossing is a neat little area. All in one spot you can go white water rafting, kayaking, mountain biking or hike the Appalachian Trail. It is is such a nice area Beau and I decided to hang there and Jim decided rather than do the 16 miles to the next pick up he would hike up to the top of the hill that was there and then back down. It was only 3800 feet up. He started at an elevation of 1800 feet and ended up at 5600! That's a good session on the stairmaster. Beau and I went for a walk along the river. Then we sat by the river under a tree. They had picnic benches and regular benches there for just that purpose. I read and Beau explored as far as his leash would let him. Then he found a nice sunny spot and took a nap. And before you knew it Jim was back and we had lunch there. It was a nice day for all of us. I am posting a picture of the river.
