We joined the Carolina Mountain Club for a hike on the Foothills Trail. This was a portion of the backpacking trip I had done in May. Glen and I had been to Sassafras Mountain in 2017, because it's a state high point. Back then there was no lookout platform on the summit.

Sunrise view from our yard this morning.
