Taking a Day Off

TAG and I decided to take the day off from the day to day business of running Asheville Seasons Bed & Breakfast. We started out with good intentions. Had a full day of work planned. By noon TAG decided it was such a beautiful day, he couldn't be inside working any longer. So, we took a drive to the DuPont State Forest to do a little hike. It is only about a 40 minute drive SW of Asheville. The DuPont State Forest is a massive 10,000 acres with about 900 hiking trails. BOY ARE WE TIRED! Kidding....We actually did a small hike to Triple Falls and Hooker Falls, which is about a 3 mile RT trek. Before Triple Falls was actually in our sights, you could hear the orchestra of the rushing and falling water. What a breathtaking sight. Nature never ceases to amaze us. Needless to say, it was a much needed break. We went for relaxation and rejuvenation and that is exactly what we got. We definitely recommend this little trip to Triple Falls. There are even picnic tables and primitive bathroom facilities (port-a-potty) if you want to make a longer day of it. Pack a lunch, bring a book, and just relax by losing yourself in nature. Don't forget your camera...
Following are a few photos of our day.
