Today we started off 2023 right-- getting into the woods for a hike.
The road down to Laurel Point on Raccoon Mountain was locked, but we found parking in the overlook parking lot.
The trail went through the woods and was covered in leaves. It opened up to a piney area for a bit. Then it opened up to the electric power tower right of way. It went back into the woods and then came out to the road that was closed off. A sign mentioned the trail was "Electric Avenue". Depending on your musical tastes and interests, you may now have a song running through your head. :) We continued on "Electric Avenue", crossing the road and going back into the woods. Now we were at the base of the rocks and the road you drive around.
We turned around a bit beyond the historical sign and headed back.
The temperature was mid 60s during our hike. The sky was clear blue, with some white puffy clouds.
There were cyclists, runners, and other walkers/hikers. There were some with dogs, like us.
It was a great way to begin 2023!
May it be a year of being outside more!
