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.

I started in a beer shop parking lot (cuz that's how I roll), walked through some paths in a neighborhood, and got on the greenway from there. I went west under 55, and then it got all tree-y and quiet. It is a lovely section of greenway! If I can find a way to park closer, I'd love to do that whole section between 55 and Green Level Church Rd. Looks interesting - lots of trees, goes under 540, and then over some marshy land.
