The Trail Up

Good imagery here. It feels like an illustration out of a fairy tale, one that I might have read when I was a kid lost in fanciful adventure stories. The road stretches out through the forest; who knows what we will encounter.

Many thanks, Jack. With a very good friend, I was on this trail to reach the summit of Whiteside Mountain in SW North Carolina. The experience was dazzling; I felt much like you described. Sad to say, there may not be too many similar experiences in my future.
