The return to Columbia took us pass many small mountaim hamlets and villages (which were enjoyable to see) until finally we reached the inter-state. An enjoyable couple of days.

Chimney Rock and North Carolina
Late morning we left Biltmore Estate and township of Asheville for Chimney Rock State Park. Chimney Rock is part of the Smokey Mountain range and is about 30 minutes from Asheville. A small village sits below the rock in the river valley. The slopes above the town are carpeted with dense tree coverage up the mountain. A windy road leads up from the valley ending at the base of the rock. An elevator inside the mointain takes you up a 26 further floors to the summit. A cat walk then leads across to the rock and a view of countryside, mountain valleys and lakes. Though cold, we spent some time enjoying the views. Sadly the cold and time prevented us from exploring the many mountain trails.
