David and I had a kid-free time to head to Linville, NC and tackle the Grandfather Trail-the closest thing in the south to the Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine section of the AT. It was just ~5 miles round trip, but took us about 4 hours to complete. This trail was epic with all its 1700’ of elevation gain, ladders, cables, and bolder fields. We’ll be taking the kids to check it out soon!
