January Hike

With little snow or frigid temperatures, it has hardly felt like winter! We went for a hike to enjoy the forecast: 60 degrees and sunny. 

Stone Mountain hike is a favorite with its multiple outlooks and historic homestead.

Beautiful... taking it all in.

The 600-foot granite dome that rock climbers tackle.

Stone Mountain Summit: As I scoped out photog opportunities, Craig snapped a candid. 

Beautiful view with stone, water, trees and mountains. Love the reflection!

Interesting holes built into the stone made for perfect 'steps'. 

Trees, mountains and sky!

Cherishing it

Talking with another hiker: Both appreciative of the beautiful day and opportunity to enjoy it.

Ending the hike with a wildlife spotting, deer!

Great day getting outside and Cherishing the Little
