Right before school had resumed, my father and I took a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. We went hiking every day in the mountains. These pictures are from when we reached the summit of Sugar Mountain. It was a gorgeous day as we ate wild blueberries and braced ourselves from the fierce winds against the sharp boulders.
The mountain serves as a ski resort during the winter months. It is the largest ski slope east of the Mississippi River. In the summer months, hikers and extreme mountain bikers climb or bike up and down the slope. From the summit of Sugar Mountain, one can see many other mountains within the tallest part of the Blue Ridge Mountain chain. They earned their name because of the strong bluish hue they partake in the early/late hours of the day. The air was so crisp and fresh, and the days were very sunny, yet cool. I miss those mountains already, and perhaps I shall return some day.
