With summer in full swing, Mason and I are all about enjoying the outdoors and going on adventures. Memorial Day weekend began our journey…. Mason and I headed to Brevard, NC to go hiking and enjoy the mountains. It’s hard to describe in words how special Brevard really is, so I am going to do my best to take you on a snap shot of our amazing trip ….
Day One: We let the boys meet for the first time! Maverick and Mason were best friends immediately and played and played chasing each other around the pond.
We then went to Winter Greens Falls. This hike is pretty easy (about 3 miles) and is one of our favorites because it seems to be the least crowded of all the waterfalls in DuPont Forest.
Day Two: We completed our standard hikes to Triple Falls and High Falls. Over the past four years, these two hikes have became VERY popular and more and more crowded. They have also roped off areas so you cannot get as close to the falls anymore 🙁 . However, if you haven’t been to Brevard, these are definitely a must see.
Day Three: Our last day in Brevard, we drove through Pisgah National Forest up to Balsam Knob for a hike and picnic. This hike is pretty easy and also makes for some great photo opportunities! It was so nice to just relax and take in the views.
This trip was nothing short of perfect. I hope you all get the chance to experience this beauty one day. Brevard, NC is truly a magically place.
