Another attempt to see the sunset. When we left Asheville, the skies were blue. As we headed up to Craggy Gardens, we were driving through the clouds again. At the parking lot, only a few cars were there, hoping to catch a sunset. This time we headed over to Craggy Flats. The trail was much less crowded compared to the hike to Craggy Pinnacle. We headed over to a bench under a tree and threw sticks for Krumm, while we waited. Every once in a while, the clouds rolled by enough to see mountains in the distance, but no sun. We had a great time anyways. It's a beautiful spot, and we had it to ourselves.
