Driskill Mountain, LA - Peak #3

On July 10, 2010 we hiked up to the top of Driskill Mountain. It is located near Arcadia, LA off the I-20. The elevation of Driskill Mountain is 535 feet. This is not a hard hike at all, but it is a natural trail that is about 1 mile long. In fact, we got some pictures of a deer that did not seem to be too spooked by us.

Beth got stung by something (maybe a wasp) on her ankle when we stepped off the trail. So, I recommend wearing hiking boots if you have them. Be sure to walk over to the Jordan Mountain Overlook nearby as there are not too many views like this in Louisiana. If you would like more information, here is a web site you should visit.

It all began with the Grand Canyon

Georgie called me and said that our brother, Harry, wanted to hike the north rim of the Grand Canyon and she wanted to do that, too. I said, "Ok, I'm in." So in June 2009, she and I and three other family members hiked the North Kaibab Trail from North Rim, down to Bright Angel Campground, and back again. We took 4 days and lots of ibuprofen to do the most physically challenging actvity we had ever attempted.  And now we're hooked. We soon set a goal to hike the highest peak in all 50 states.
