Location: Grandfather Mountain (Nuwati, Cragway, Daniel Boone)
Date: 3/16/2011
How far we went: 5.66mi
How long it took us: 4:03:57
Elevation reached: 1658ft.
Weather: Overcast, cold, windy, wet/muddy with a good bit of fog.
Scenically, this is the best place I have visited in North Carolina. The weather was awful but we did not come all this way for nothing. We were surprised to see some snow as we set off and hit up Storytellers Rock. It was nice sitting up there and looking into the beautiful clouded sky. The wind howling and clouds descending on the mountain side made it feel like we were hiking in the clouds at certain points. Pretty surreal. As we headed from the Nuwati to Daniel Boone through the Cragway there were many rocks to perch ourselves on and enjoy the view. (Although I believe that is against the rules) It is what it is.
