Slate Rock Hike - 10.16.10

It was another absolutely perfect day yesterday, so we decided to go for another hike, this time to a lookout that neither of us had been to, Slate Rock, in Pisgah. This is a relatively short hike, but it is pretty steep. We parked at the Pilot Cove trailhead and took Pilot Cove all the way up to the second intersection with the Pilot Cove Loop/Slate Rock trail.

This was an extra special hike because we took Kenda, our Jack Russell/Beagle mix, out on her first hike. She absolutely loved it, and did great. It was really nice to have her out there with us.

And........here are the pics:
