On Friday, March 6, I took a hike on a trail just west of Weaverville, NC. The trail is called Rattlesnake Trail, I think, and the trail head is on the way to the Blue Ridge Parkway off of Ox Creek Rd which is off of Reems Creek Rd which is off of Main St in Weaverville. It was a beautiful day, first day of the year you could be outside without a coat or jacket. Snow covered the ground in spots, as you can see. It felt so good to be outside.
Rattlesnake will take you to the AT, Appalachian Trail, if you keep on it for 10+ miles. I hiked a mile in and a mile back. I passed 5 people, 4 dogs, and the stone foundation of an inn that housed travels many years ago. The views were unblocked by tree leaves and no clouds in the sky. It was a beautiful little hike.
