100 down on top of Hanging Rock

I love going to the top of Hanging Rock for comparison shots.
This is 100# down from June of 2011.
I can now run up the steep parts of the trail. Woohoo!

At the top of one of the steep run is a sharp turn and a bench. There was a group resting there that watched me run up.
I was surprised by their response to it. All positive of course.
I took the opportunity to plug MFP as a tool I used to help achieve that uphill run.
My daughter and I did a total of 5.5 miles that day. Wolf Rock Trail and Hanging Rock Trail.
My last challenge is running back up the last slope back to the parking lot. Feels good to be able to do that.

If you live within driving distance of Hanging Rock, it is an awesome day trip destination. Magnificent views. A variety of trails.

I don't have the nerve to get out on the edge of the rock.. but my wife does. I looooove the hike, but the view leaves that uncomfy pit-in-the-stomach feeling. Stupid fear of heights. Did you get out to either of the waterfalls?

Been down to the falls that are out past the pinic area.
Check out Wolf Rock Trail too. It is called "Moderate" only because it is not graded like HR is. But it is a flatter trail. Follows the ridge mostly. Great views from Wolf Rock. Not as scary as the drops at Hanging Rock.
If you take the Wolk rock trail up to the next junction than back down to HR and to the top of HR and back to the parking lot, that is a nice 5.5 mile hike. Good for at least a 1K kCal burn.
Love swimming in the lake there too. My kids can spend hours on the diving raft. My feet are killing my after an hour of bouncing off the spring board. :bigsmile:
I can make as big a splash now as I did at 310. It is all in the technique.
