Hiking Stone Mountain






Today has been such a fun day because we decided to get some exercise and see the sites by hiking Stone Mountain. It's 2.6 miles round trip and once we neared the top it was quite steep. It sure was fun, though, and we got to stop and rest at the gift shop that was up there. Chloe rode on our shoulders most of the way but she did do most of the climbing on her own while we were on our way up. It was quite an amazing view from up there, which was such a neat change from standard Georgia views (a couple hundred feet because of all the trees). I read that on a clear day you can see 60 miles away. Stone Mountain is apparently the largest chunk of granite in the world (or at least this continent). It actually reaches (underground) all the way into Alabama.
