Cables and Ladders Galore! Grandfather Mountain Bday Hike

For David’s birthday, we took the whole family up to Banner Elk, NC to hike the Grandfather Mountain Trail. It’s the closest thing WNC has to the Appalachian Trail’s New England miles, and the kids loved it! It’s definitely a challenge, and we did it with heavy packs (Sally Ann’s was 35 pounds!) Less than 4 months to go til our AT attempt!
