Morrow Mountain - Morrow Mountain Loop Trail - 9/17/2011

Morrow Mountain Loop Trail
Loop
0.8 miles
Easy

After a long summer with no hiking whatsoever (except Clingman's Dome a couple weeks back) because of the brutally hot weather, and time and money constraints, Kristina and I decided to take the boys to Morrow Mountain since the temperature for the day was to be in the mid-seventies. There was a slight chance of rain, but it looked like a very slight chance. Turns out we were right and never did get rained on. We chose Morrow Mountain because it is relatively close to the house... less than an hour drive. I had never been to Morrow Mountain and didn't know what to expect of a "mountain" in Albemarle, NC. As it happens, Morrow Mountain fits the bill quite nicely, all things considered.
