Paris Mountain State Park Hike

Colin and I actually had a Sunday were we both were off and it was a beautiful day so we decided we wanted to do some sort of outdoor activity. We had heard about Paris Mountain State Park just outside of Greenville and decided to check it out. When we got there we decided to visit the welcome center so that we could decide which trail to hike. Neither of us had any idea which trail to pick so we decided to go for the longest trail (we also thought we could get a workout while enjoying the outdoors). We hiked the the Sulphur Springs trail which was 3.5 miles. It had a note that it was easy to difficult, which we thought it couldn't be that bad. Click here to see the trail map, it was the yellow trail. We were surprised that the trail did indeed get difficult. It was VERY narrow/steep in parts and was a great cardio workout. For awhile we thought we would bring Bella back to walk the trail with us but once we got to the harder parts, we decided against bringing Bella on that trail. We decided that we want to go back and try a few of the other trails sometime. It was a nice Sunday doing something with Colin that we don't normally do. Below are some pictures from our hike.
