It’s Primary Election Day, so after doing our Civic Duty, we headed out to Coopers Rock for a hike.<\/p>\n

We hiked the Ridge Trail down to the Mont Chateau trail, hikeed the Mont Chateau trail, and then came back to Rock City via the Rhododendron Trail.<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Coopers Rock State Forest<\/a>
\nTrails<\/strong>: Ridge & Rhododendron
\nDistance<\/strong>: 4.3 miles<\/a>

At the bottom of the Mont Chateau trail, I went off the path, and clambered along the creek. It was simply gorgeous–the pictures do not do it justice. (All GPS location stats are available if you click through to Flickr.)<\/p>\n
