Father’s Day Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains is something we don’t do enough of – especially since the park entrance is in our backyard.  For a little spontaneous Father’s Day fun, we all hopped into the car for what turned into our first hike of the year.

Stony Point Overlook

When we decided to head out the door, it was just to drive through the park and look for a bear.

The only bear-like creature we found :)

While we were at the Stony Point Overlook, we managed to trick take a few shots with the boys. Pictures with them are hard to come by these days and as you can tell by my outfit and hair, it wasn’t preplanned on the itinerary.

Here I am (appearing much shorter than I am 😉 ) with my soon-to-be 17 year old son.

It was at this point in our drive that we ran into another hiker and he recommended that we do the short hike around the corner.

I wasn’t prepared to hike.

I was wearing my running shoes, regular bra and shorts from the Loft.  AND I forgot to wear my FitBit!!! UGH!

But everyone else was game. So off we went. And we found this. Gorgeous!

I loved this spot.

It was such a great day.

Hiking is not only a great cardio workout but is also great for muscle strength, (holy hamstrings!!!), helps reduce stress and anxiety and I have a feeling that I’m going to sleep really good tonight.

The evening wrapped up with a doggie walk.

And to think none of it might have happened if the circumstances needed to be perfect. Wrong shoes, wrong bra, wrong shorts, and crazy hair turned into awesome memories and calories burned.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Life is too short.

How did you stay active this weekend? Or did you rest????

Love,

Lori
