While you’re camping at Steamboat Rock, it is kind of a must-do to climb the rock that the park is named after. This year we did it as a family – packing Haley and, most of the time, JT too. The North Carolina Coles bought/brought us all matching shirts for the trip and we wore them on our hike. It was a great workout, a great view, and a great time! I made a separate blog posting for this because we took so many pictures. When we got to the bottom, my mom had a triple batch of pancakes waiting with hot sausages. Yum.
