My mom and I walked around downtown Raleigh to see the sights. Not really a hike at all, but I'm a little behind on miles and decided to count this one. It was a beautiful day, and it was great to spend time with my mom to celebrate her birthday.

This hike felt like way more than a couple miles. It was a steep trek to the top of a peak in Pisgah National Forest overlooking Linville Gorge. The first section going up was ok, but the last 1/3 mile to the top was tough! I even had to stop and rest a couple of times. But the view at the top was worth it! Except for the giant thick swarm of flying ants... I was worried I was going to run off the edge of the mountain trying to get out of the cloud of them. Haha.
