Take me back to country roads🎶
Rt 221 to Floyd, va to Willis, Va this morning, was a pleasant drive in preparation for our destination: Buffalo Mountain Natural Area Preserve.
Cheers to the last #newtomeat75 hoorah experience, coming in at #90!
Oh what a treat! Cool temps at noon: 66 degrees...perfect for our short hike. Although the walking path to the top was merely .9 miles, many sections were rocky and steep, which kept our eyes glued to the ground. "Generally considered a moderately challenging route", we huffed and puffed our way up the last .3 miles😁😂😃
The 4670' elevation at the summit was stunning. In fact, the magnificent views (imho) were comparable to McAfee Knob, without the crowds! 😉
Although a bit hazy, while standing at the top of the rock, we could look in the distance and spot Pilot Mountain in Pinnacle, NC( about 60 miles away by road). The almost 360 degree aerial vistas were breathtaking!
The last photo in this series was taken on our way home, from the road(rt.799, Conner's Grove Rd in Willis, Va). The mountain in the far distance is Buffalo Mountain!
What a day well spent!💓💓💓
