Crowders Mountain State Park

Photo courtesy of Amy Milhorne. To celebrate her recent birthday, Amy and Gene took a short drive up to Gaston County, North Carolina where they visited beautiful Crowders Mountain State Park. They spent most of their visit hiking the park's trails, and at various points along their selected routes they were treated to spectacular views of mountain streams, waterfalls, pristine forests, various species of wildlife and the sprawling North Carolina piedmont. Amy snapped this picture of Gene as he stood relaxing on the precipice of one of the steep rocky cliffs that make up the sides of Crowders Mountain. Never one to shy away from high places or danger, he looks as cool as a cucumber standing where few would dare to even venture. It's a good thing that a strong puff of wind didn't happen to blow in while he was up there!     Visitor Comments... Name: Phyllis Helton Town: Bristol, VA True....... spectacular view. Cheria nor I could join him up there.     Name: Cheria Rouse Town: Abingdon, VA Gene sure has got guts or....something....And a puff of wind sure would blow him down the mountain because he is as light as a feather. Nope, you wouldn't get this girl there, cause I'm just a big chicken...   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
