An Afternoon Excursion

Sunday afternoon was the perfect day to get out do a little more exploring.  Even though Tim is from Arkansas, he hasn't been to a lot of areas around where we live. That makes more fun since it's not just something new for me, it's something new & fun for both of us.
So I looked up what parks were close to us (within 35-45 mins).  I found Pinnacle Mountain State Park. It was only 40 mins from our house and sounded like it had a lot to offer. It was perfect for our afternoon excursion.

First we checked out the visitor's center to see what all the park had to offer.  This was just one of the many beautiful views from the visitor's center.

We mapped out our plan and decided to head for the "West Side" of the mountain, which was supposed to be the easier hiking trail to the peak.  However, we did not expect to literally climb "stairs" made of rocks the entire way up.
We had a great time and couldn't be happier we did it! Here are some pictures from the hike.

We FINALLY made it to the top!! What a great reward....This was the view!
