Trip West - Maggie Valley - Devil's Courthouse

 We did a drive to check out another area of NC.  The usual winding drive throught trees.



We have found that in NC you can't get there from here in most places.  Mountains in the way make it take twice as long.  Here to check out a campground.  Turned out to be too small and more expensive so we head back home, this time via the Blue Ridge Parkway


The parkway is always a beautiful drive


We stop at the Devil's Courthouse as it is only a short 1/2 mile hike

Indian Lore says that the Devil holds Court in a cave up there.


It starts as a paved up hill trail

Guessing the speed bumps are for the trip down not up!


It goes from paved to rocky



But we finally reach the top


The parking lot


What a view


Easy to see why the Pelegrine Falcons nest here!


Can't believe we only have 6 more days here!  Hope we can do at least one more hike.
