It was still pretty warm in NC and the views at the top are good, but not the same as some of the peaks we’ve been to on the west side of the state. That said, the majority of the hike was a shaded and easy forest path to follow. The foliage had recovered from recent controlled burns, so it was definitely a pretty walk.
It was really steep near the peak, and the family became pretty spread out, but it ended with lunch at the top and some excellent scenery.
Trixie got some much needed cardio and loves our hikes as long as she can lead. Bandit has the desire, but just can’t keep up. Though every hiker we passed said they would love to be carried like we do for Bandit when he wears out, Bandit hates riding in the backpack, so Morrow Mountain might have been his hiking swan song.

Love hearing about all of your adventures. Especially from Nate and Vivian’s point of view. If it ever works out, I’d love to join you on a trip. Love you all.
What great hikes you all & the pups are doing. The kids are at a great age to explore with you.
