Hiking the Point Trail

Today Nathan and I finally had a day off together! Since it is rare nowadays to have the same day off, we took full advantage of it and went hiking together.

After picking up enough water and snacks, we ventured over toward the Obed Wild & Scenic River. We have been over to Lilly Bluff overlook a couple of times, but haven't had the chance (until today) to go hike some of the trails nearby.

We went on the Point Trail!




Walking through the trail, there were so many pretty little flowers and TONS of mushrooms!




As we got closer toward the end of the trail, there were a few different bluffs/cliffs that you could hang out on - it was a gorgeous view from the top!






Finding the natural bridge was really awesome!


We made it to the end of Point Trail! 


At the end of the trail, we stopped and took out our waters and snacks. We chilled out for a little bit, taking in the view. For my fuel, I went with some Sunny Cranberry trail mix! It was delicious, and the perfect snack for hiking! Nathan stuck with gatorade and some beef jerky. 



The Point Trail is only 1.9 miles - 2 hours round trip - except we took our time enjoying the hike so it was 3 hours total for us :) It was a short and easy hike, but absolutely tons to see! 

Nathan and I had such an amazing time hiking together. It's the perfect getaway for us, plus it's a good workout and huge stress reliever. You can't go wrong with hiking! :)
