Happy winter solstice! We joined Daisy on a CMC hike in Pisgah. We had sunny skies and good company. This is an easy hike - many recommended it as a hike to take non-hikers on. The beginning is a nice walk along the Davidson River. This is followed by a short climb and then mostly level trail again.
