I didn't have a lot of work to do today, so I headed to the forest to clear my head. We're blessed with a lot of good head-clearin' spots around here, but I finally decided on Slate Rock. It's a short loop, only 4-5 miles, but it has some pretty steep climbing, and great views. I've seen three ENOs at one time up on the rock, and I hope to hang up there one night this fall. IMO, this is the best view in the Pisgah Ranger District.

Beautiful pics...just beautiful.
I love the Brevard area. I've camped a good bit at Cove Creek and Kuykendall over the years.
He is your friend, your companion, your defender... he is your dog. You are his life, his leader, and master. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of that devotion.
Definitely looks like a cool place to hang. Just make sure you put you tarp where it will block the wind.. Brrrrr

I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
Really nice pics, thanks for sharing. Got to love the mountain pics
Yeah that whole area is fantastic!!! RF & I have hiked Pisgah area alot and there's STILL yet so much to see.
Let us know if you want some company when you go hangin' this fall. There's quite a few HF members that live close by Pisgah.
