Sam & Lauren @ Dupont Forest and the Cedar Rock Trail

A Photographers Paradise, Jump Off Rock, Dupont Forest with it's Triple, Bridal and Hooker Falls, provide an endless presentation of panoramic beauty for the artistic eye. Sam has that keen sense of observation and balance needed to capture the unique elements of our environment in a special and memorable image.

A world class Mountain Bike Trail right in our backyard. This is Cedar Rock Trail, one of the more than 80 miles of challenging biking and hiking trails to be explored in Dupont Forest. Today we chose to walk the trail which includes rocky climbs and expansive rock balds revealing beautiful vistas. The air was crisp and cool with a distinctive snap in the prevailing mountain breezes that alerted your senses and made you glad you brought that extra layer that didn't seem so necessary when you left home this morning.

The trails are well marked with wooden sign posts at strategic intersections and the trails twists and turns are accented with stone markers created and maintained by the bikers themselves.

This Lovely Family of Three was enjoying the Great Outdoors

 at a brisk pace. Both Lauren and Sam are Cross Fit Training Participants in Charlotte and think that Dupont offers fun and fitness challenges worthy of every training level. Dexter Morgan, their cuddly Ausie-Poo was just happy to be in Dog Paradise for the day.
