4 miles round trip
1350 feet elevation gain
Weather: gorgeous
This was another of my favorite hikes from our trip.
One angle of the view from the top. Cameras don't do it justice. Maybe you need the precarious, "I'm about to fall off a mountain" feeling to really appreciate the view. 
Quote from a fellow hiker: "Dying wouldn't be so bad. Then I'd see Jesus. It'd be falling and living that would stink." Nothing like heights to put the fear of God into you.
If you squint, you can see them.
By the time we hiked down the trail and drove to the Chimney Tops pull out off of Newfound Gap Road, this is what the summit looked like. I'm glad I was there when the sun was out and the rocks were dry!
If we were lucky, Caleb took a catnap while we were hiking. When he was awake, we tried to keep Caleb occupied with fallen leaves, sticks, acorns, pinecones, and other natural toys, but the best distraction was walking next to a river. Caleb loved hearing and watching the water.
