With the hottest weekend of the summer on tap, we decided to escape to the high country for a little hike along the ridge line of the Plott Balsams Mountain range.
The clouds were mesmerizing, the summer wildflowers were out in force, and the birds, butterflies, and bees were putting on a show! Cooler Mountain Temps, a nice breeze, and a great group of friends made for a perfect day of hiking!
Here are some of the photos from our adventure.
