2022 Fall Vacation Day 2

Monday

Moses Cone Park is another one of our go-to locations on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We have been here a couple of times and it’s a beautiful view over Bass Lake below, which we’ve also visited more than once. We love to explore the old house, Flattop Manor, and then make our way back into the fields of the property. As you come out of woods, there are fields and fields of expansive carriage trails to walk along.

We found a great place to stop and eat lunch between the woods and the fields.

At the rear of the property is Rich Mountain, which is quite a hike up. We didn’t go all the way up this year, but we walked back to where the climbing road began and then the kids ran down it.

Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster

Jen always picks the coolest things to do. This year, we went to an Alpine Coaster in Boone. The kids had absolutely no fun at all, as you can tell.
