If it was time to take a longer hike and break up the normal weeks adventures, today was it. The Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve located off of Hwy 11 is an enjoyable hike. The last time I hiked there, there was one main trail up and over the mountain down to the Pacolet river and turn around and return the way you did come. Things were a bit different this go round and so I went off of the beaten path so to speak.
The purpose of this hike was to see the trilliums blooming along the trail, and I did see them but I fear I was a little late in the season to enjoy their full beauty. I believe my old age is making me be aware of and giving me a greater enjoyment of flowers.
