end of Mat's weekend, beginning of mine...

Sam Knob


Sam Knob

Last night after work, we went back up to the Parkway to do a lovely hike up Sam Knob. It is at a much higher elevation than our house, so it the temperature was perfect for hiking. Maddy and Mat had a multi-sport day as they had gone mountain biking with friends that morning. I appreciated that they were willing to go out again, as I really needed to get outside and do some hiking.  It started with a lovely walk in a forest, then opened up into the nice meadow Mat is standing in and then we hiked up the top of the mountain behind Mat.

Sam Knob View from one of the summits.  The nice thing about evening hikes is that it tends to have fantastic light out instead of harsh light from the bright sun!  Now I'm ready for my weekend after that lovely hike!  This is turning into one of my favorite hikes around here.  I personally treasure hikes here that allow for long distance views!  I miss them after living out West and then being here where often the summits of mountains have trees, so you don't have much of a view.
