It was a hot day in the Piedmont but a nice cool one in the high mountains just outside Boone, North Carolina. We headed up Boone Scout Trail on Grandfather Mountain. The picture above is at the trail junction with Cragway Trail. There is a nice flat rock to climb up for great views.
Further on up the trail is wreckage from a Cessna plane that went down in September 1979. Just beyond here, are the 3 ladders needed to ascend some rocky areas. Shortly you are at the top with great views. As we were sitting here just finishing lunch, a clap of thunder sounded. A moment later the decision to head down was made. We hurried on down the mountain making it to the car just before the rain started.
