Cheeks Bend Bluff View Trail

I took the boys hiking on my own a couple of months ago on a weekend when Brian had to work.  We did the Cheeks Bend Bluff View Trail, one we've done a couple of times before.  It's a relatively flat trail above the Duck River that includes a little cave that takes you down closer to the river.

There are also several geocaches along the trail which made the hike more fun.

The entrance to the cave is unmarked and a 100 feet off the trail.  Luckily I remembered where it was and found it easily.

I remembered to bring headlamps and the boys weren't scared to lead the way.  The cave is short though and you can barely make out light from the other end just after entering.

After finding a geocache outside the cave, we headed back in and up.

There are a couple of cool formations in the cave if you search.

We probably only did two miles but Gray walked the whole time without asking to be carried.  I'll take that as a win!
