We stopped by the visitor's center when we got up there and had Carter's national park passport stamped.
Our first hike was to the Twin Arches.
The North Arch ...
The South Arch ...
Carter fell asleep when we were about 5 minutes away from the car.
When we got to the car I was able to get the backpack off my back without waking him up.
I didn't want to wake Carter up by getting him out of the backpack but little bugs were swarming around us so I put the backpack in the trunk of my Rav4 standing up with Carter in it. He slept for another 20 minutes like that while my mom and I ate lunch in the car.
Once Carter woke up we drove over to Pickett State Park where we did a few short hikes.
First we went to Hazard Cave ...
Then we went across the street to Indian Rockhouse (which wasn't too exciting) ...
Then we drove up to Natural Bridge which is just off the road ...
Carter and I are standing on top of the arch ...
Now my mom and Carter are on top of the arch ...
Carter's waving at me in this picture ...
We had a good day and Carter didn't fuss much at all. He really loves being in the backpack. He slept most of the way back to Knoxville which made the 2-hour drive really easy!
