Going North on the FootHills ParkWay; I decided to go for a little walk. I can only share the view as there is no way to describe it. Taking at the lookout tower. It was a 10minute walk

Photobucket is so difficult on mobile.

Beautiful. (I'm lucky to have an iPad because it is marginally easier than uploading pics from a phone)

You guys are killing me. I was born in Hickory, North Carolina, but grew up in Southeast Texas. I haven't even been back up to visit in 19 years. I really need to ride up there and ride in the mountains some.

But I still haven't ever seen the Rocky Mountains......

A small group managed to make a large loop heading from Robbinsville north on 129 then through the Foothills Parkway, back down 441 winding in the park before returning to Robbinsville.
Here a few moments in the Foothills Parkway.

Wonder if SCCBrider made it home ok? You'd think he'd be all over these threads. What a fun guy. My " red headed step child". Lol

Ken, if you are out there, chime in!
