North Carolina Trip - Day 5.5

Chimney Rock hiking continued. 

The highest elevation is ~2,640 feet above sea level though it certainly seemed higher.

The Skyline Trail was a bit anticlimactic because you couldn't see really actually see the Hickory Nut Falls so we also did the Hickory Nut Falls Trail that went to the bottom of the falls.  It had rained that morning so the falls were flowing pretty well.

Then, having not eaten much breakfast or lunch had our nicest meal of the trip at Chestnuts.  Filet and salmon were the rewards for our 100+ flights of climbing and ~6 miles of hiking.
