the ledges was part of last year’s hiking challenge as well, but it is one of my favorites. i got a late start today, after a day spent lounging and relaxing yesterday, my body was telling me it was time to move. i just went for a short hike, only 2.2 miles. usually i like to get in a good six to eight miles on a sunday morning. the ledges has lots to offer, beautiful rock formations,
caves, spectacular views and a section of trail that takes you away from the rocks, but through an older part of the forest. my favorite thing about the ledges is how it demonstrates mother nature’s resilience,
trees growing out of solid rock. even when you’d think it isn’t possible, mother nature finds a way.
positivity for today, if you find your way blocked, step back and take a look, there’s always another way. it just takes resilience.
i so need to come hiking with you!

lol! the most i have walked in one day was 17 miles, it took 8 hours. i missed the trail head and walked up to the the next one, not knowing i had just added three miles on to my hike! by the time i figured it out, it was shorter to go forward than to go back!
