N&N went for a hike

Chimney Top Rd
Took a hike after work with Greta. The temp was a perfect 52 degrees and we began by taking an off trail just off the beginning of Chimney Top Rd. The off trail had a couple campfires & ended on top of a small hill where it was clear with mainly overgrown grass. It was funny seeing Greta literally hop throughout it. Continuing down Chimney Top Rd I came across two more off trails which left me wanting more. The first one seemed just like a trail that lead to maybe a campfire or two but, the trail kept going and eventually came to a spot that was impassable for the time being. I will be back and prepared next time. The second trail was much of the same, except this led to an outlook from which you could hear a huge waterfall from. That definitely leaves the mind wondering with curiosity, so I remain with the same disposition of returning another day to see more of this trail. After the sunset, on the way back, I had seen possibly one of the coolest skylines. It was such a particular red (almost like a rose) and the photo I took doesn’t do it justice. In person it seemed to span across the whole horizon and the color was so much more vivid. The night sky was, as always, amazing. I believe I spotted what would’ve been Orion’s Belt (The hint being: The three distinctive stars aligned vertically, but I could always be mistaken). It was certainly a great time spent in the Gorge.
