Scenic Wonders of Chimney Rock, NC

Join us as we travel to Chimney Rock, NC, and take a drive around beautiful Lake Lure in search of breakfasr. We’ll visit Chimney Rock State Park and head to the top of Chimney Rock, down Outcropping Trail and out to Hickory Nut Falls. Then we’ll hike back on the Four Seasons trail. Find out a few things we saw that reminded us of our trip to Ireland.

Looks stunningly beautiful, life is for enjoying 😊
Without sounding negative, when going walking in isolated areas, do you travel with others for safety?, can you carry protection?, maybe I’ve watched too many horror films!, but having grown up in an area that was once nice and safe, but then became very unsafe that you then had to look out the window first to check that no one was around and then actually run to your car or a bus stop, unfortunately it’s become built in.
Anyway enjoy your travels, you make nice videos! 👏🏻

@Hello-yn2dx. Thanks for watching! 😀 The mountains in the southeast of the country are beautiful and full of outdoor activities.
I think you raise a good point! Typically, it’s just the two of us. In State or National Parks we feel safe enough. We didn’t see many people on our hike after seeing the falls but we could hear voices of families in the distance. In bigger cities we try to have an idea of neighborhoods that may be safer than others . If there’s a restaurant,pub or sight we want to see we’ll Uber or cab our way there rather than walk through a questionable area. We will ask locals.
We ‘ain’t the gun totin’ type. States vary on gun laws. Check the local listings.😀
It’s a shame neighborhoods can change so drastically.
Odds are we wouldn’t come across a Black Bear or poisonous snake on our hike, but you never know.😀
Thanks for sharing. All the best! 😀👍

Similar to County Kerry in Ireland, reminds me of killarney and Waterville in kerry, the place where Charlie Chaplin would visit, his friend Walt Disney recommended Ireland as the place to visit..

I'm going to guess that Chris is a Sagittarius and Karen is a Taurus.
