North Carolina Mountains

This was my second trip to Highlands, North Carolina, and all I can say is I love that place. Look at this view!

I wish I had a picture from the very top, but I somehow ran out of memory space. The last time I was climbing this exact same mountain, it was spring time and the leaves were just beginning to grow. Here is a picture of the very same view from then:

I remember thinking how beautiful it was the first time around. But the fall colors this time were absolutely breathtaking and somehow make the springtime moments seem drab.

But really, I love the mountains.
