Paddy Creek Wilderness Area

That is correct, we have a wilderness area that is only a 1/2 an hour away from our house and it is beautiful.  We went on a beautiful day, right before the fall colors came.  There is more than 20 miles of trail in this wilderness area, so we are excited for future backpacking visits.  Here are some of the views.

Of course Jake had to do a dance along the way.

An amazing cliff we found.

The trail got rocky.

We found a lot of mushrooms along the way.

This one is sort of cool.
