Beginning from the BRP on the Daniel Boone Scout Trail, I along with 3 others, hiked up into the new Grandfather Mountain State Park. About 2 miles in, snow became a factor, obscuring the trail. We spend alot of time looking for white blazes and backtracking. Our goal was Calloway Peak, but we did not make it that far. At the Viaduct View the snow became too deep and too soft to continue. We retraced our steps back down the mountain to a nice lunch break at Flat Rock View.
