Take a Hike!


These are some pictures from a hike that I took with a couple of friends in Berea, Ky.  The place we hiked at is called the Pinnacles.  The trail all-together is a little over seven miles in length, but we didn't have a full day to hike with, so we chose to go to the East Pinnacle and the Indian Fort Lookout.  This hike was about four miles in length and it took us about two and a half hours to hike it.


These are the two friends I went with.  Harrison is the bald one in the maroon shirt and BJ is the tall one in the black shirt.  This was one of the views looking out from East Pinnacle.






These are some more of the beautiful views from East Pinnacle.  


Who's that ugly mutt?




These are some of the gorgeous views from Indian Fort Lookout.


Harrison stopped to have his picture taken.


BJ did as well.




Further down the trail, BJ found a cave under where we were walking.  He found out that he could jump over the side of a nearby ledge to one below it to get to the cave.  I had no interest in going over that ledge.


Hiking is great for so many reasons.  It gets you outside, it can be challenging, you get to test yourself, and it's free.  There's no reason not to go find a place to hike in your local area today!  If you're lost before you even find a trail, trying going to EveryTrail.com and signing up for an account.  Every Trail has a lot of trails mapped out by local users, so you can find a good guide to local hiking spots.  You may even find one or two that you didn't even know existed!
