Saturday, April & I hiked Cold Mountain a 10 mile hike, 5.1 miles to the top, and then 5.1 miles back. It was awesome, in the photo you can see the peek of Cold Mtn from a web cam photo.
We started on the tail at 10:15am, and reached the top around 1:30pm, and then stopped for lunch at the Cow Pasteur on the way back down! (The cow Pasture was a level spot on the 3 mile mark where cows used to graze. how the cows got there was Beyond me) anyway we made it back to the car just before 5pm. so about 6 and 1/2 hours of a trip once you add stopping for lunch, and photos.
we got some great photos, and survived some crazy chip monks on the way, the bugs at the top we what did us in, and once we reached the top and got a few photos we turned around and headed back to a clearing for lunch. We even came across a butter fly tree, and one butter fly landed right on my shirt. check out the photos from the hike.

Awesome Hike guys - Wow!!
Shell and I did a 3 Mile round trip in VT and I thought we were doing great! Ha, We're OLD! Amazing views from the lookouts. Was the field in the pics where you stopped for lunch - or a strange field in the Mountains?

congrats on the hike :) I think the next thing you guys should look into is disc golf. It's hiking and frisbee all in one. Kenny LOVES it. We even played while we were in New York!
