Amy's sister and family came down for a visit this weekend.  While the girls took a trip down to Rutherfordton to visit with their parents, I took my brother-in-law Hugh hiking.

I have really gotten spoiled with my ability to get out hiking during the week, as I underestimated the number of other humans that would be out and about today!
 
Way too many other humans at Looking Glass Falls

We made a quick stop at Looking Glass Falls before heading to the Pisgah Fish Hatchery parking area which was literally overflowing with vehicles.  I got creative with my parking, and once we hit the trails the worst of the crowds quickly dissipated!

We did the 5.6 mile Cat Gap Loop including John Rock and Cedar Rock Creek Falls.    Here are a few photos from our hike:

We got word that the girls were heading on a shopping excursion, so we had time to stop for a brew or two with Hugh on the way home!
