Weekend at The Ridge

Before we headed to the Caribbean, Greg and Renee came down from Indiana and spent the weekend at The Ridge.  Renee was wanting to take her first hike in the Smoky Mountains so we suggested to Greg, the usual Laurel Falls or Grotto Falls trail.  Both are easy and would be a good first introduction hike in the mountains.  Oh, but Greg is his father's son.  Greg takes Renee on Chimney Tops.  Not a long trail but very steep and a very strenuous hike on loose rock.

Thankful Renee enjoyed the trail and is looking forward to some more hiking.  They had a great time and enjoyed the relaxation.  When they arrive around midnight on Friday, we had a bear waiting to greet them.  We scrared him off just as they pulled into the driveway.
