Hiking at Hanging Rock

We had a magazine shoot to do early Saturday in Kernersville, so we took the opportunity once we were done to go and do a little exploring up at Hanging Rock. Jeremy had never been to the waterfalls, so I thought I’d give him the grand tour….. I thought… oh it’s just off the parking lot, not far at all….. well, I guess it isn’t far, but when you’re in pointy flats with no socks…. it seems FAR! I am sure I got lots of strange looks from the hikers we passed in their full on hiking gear with walking sticks…. but I avoided eye contact with everyone we met on the trail. After all, I used to hike up to Hanging Rock once a week in flip flops, no biggie.

….. ok now, CALLING ALL BRIDES WHO LIKE “RUSTIC” PLACES……

This little shelter is on the trail, right off the parking lot…. maybe a couple hundred yards….. Someone please have a small wedding or elope here… and let us photograph it….. it’s SO ADORABLE!!!

…. and then maybe head over to the Boat House for your reception…. I think it would be awesome 🙂 The view from the boat house is on the left…. it’s a stunning lake you can canoe or paddle boat on, with a beach to tan…. (fyi…. this would also be a great spot for bridals or engagement photos…. I’m just sayin’)

(with the way the benches are arranged, it looks like their may have been a wedding here recently)

….. once again…. hiking in pointy flats is not advised, but can be done 🙂
