Thanksgiving in the mountains

On Wednesday before Thanksgiving we made the drive up to Highlands, NC for another fantastic Thanksgiving in the mountains! The weather was chilly and windy but not too terribly cold and not raining so we made the most of it!

On Thanksgiving morning we got up and hiked our favorite – Whiteside! We were out there by about 9:30 so we could get a parking place at the base of the mountain and sure were happy to get a good hike in and enjoy the beautiful views!
