More Hiking between Gingercake and Lake James
¶ Thursday, October 29, 2009 
Last Thursday was the big hike day in October. Sorry for the delay in posting pictures, but we have been swamped around here!
After dropping a car on Wolf Pit Road, we parked in the Table Rock parking lot where we hopped on the Shortoff Trail. Passing through the chimneys, then down through a pine forest, then through miles of burned out trees on Shortoff, we were never at a loss for brilliant leaf colors and amazing views!
Lunch was on the cliffs at Shortoff, with an unbelievable view of the Linville Gorge and our 5.7 mile trek from Table Rock.
To our surprise, the toughest part was the long (mile and a half or so) rocky descent from Shortoff down to Wolf Pit Road. Rounding a curve to see Lake James was our reward.
