@feelgreatframes: Starting off with Rough Ridge, the hike is only around a mile long. When you get to the top, you are greeted by a wooden staircase, along with a boardwalk, and three different peaks to watch the world from. Rough Ridge is also the most popular spot near Boone, so watch out for crowds. Next Hawksbill ridge is a bit more challenging. The hike is only about a mile and a half to the top, with a little bit of elevation gain. The hike should take just a little over an hour to reach the top. Once you get there an amazing 360° view will be waiting for you. Now for Beacon Heights, Beacon doesn’t need much of an explanation. Only 0.2 miles long, mostly flat trail, little to no elevation gain. Beacon Heights is probably the easiest hike in Western North Carolina. Finally Moses Cone makes the list for the parking lot, gravel road to the top, and epic fire tower you can climb. Moses Cone is the longest out of the list, which sits at 3 miles in, 3 miles out. If you want to build yourself up for longer hikes, give this one a try! Thanks for reading and watching, remember to follow @feelgreatframes for more meaningful media! P.s. I wrote every word for the caption, and put real, human though into creating this. #roughridge #blueridgemountains #blueridgeparkway #appalachia #westernnorthcarolina
