Looking Glass Rock Hike
With Brenda and Pat
Pisgah National Forest
Transylvania County, NC
Sunday, January 14th, 2018
I decided to join Brenda and Pat for Sunday Morning hike to Looking Glass Rock. I have done this hike several times before, but never during the winter.
It was about 12 degrees starting out which is cold enough that the condensation from my breath was forming ice crystals on my beard

Fortunately the looking glass rock trail climbs about 1,600 feet over about 3 miles which will quickly warm the body up in even the coldest of conditions.

With all the ice on the rocks, it was not really safe to try and explore around the overlook area, so we didn't spend a whole lot of time lingering around.
I also believe that this might be a new record for me of least number of photos taken on a hike. But her are a few that I did manage to take.

It has been a while since I have been able to get out for a hike, and this was a nice one to start 2018.
