Escapism: The Ultimate in Social Distancing – Our Trip to Pilot Mountain State Park
By Mark A. Leon
A Personal Escape
It was a view from the top of the world. High atop the mountains of Western Carolina, we could see the greenest of trees, the bluest of mountains, and the most beautiful flowers. It was pure bliss.
Pilot Mountain State Park is located 11 miles outside of Mount Airy, North Carolina, the birthplace of famed actor Andy Griffith. We want to share a photographic journey of our day of escapism and discovery.
Why Hike to the Peaks of the Sky?
For so many of us, we have begun to feel trapped, isolated and in some cases depressed, but with the right precautions and a little careful planning, there is a world waiting for us filled with fresh air, natural beauty, exercise, and a sense of recharging.
This was our day to recharge, find balance once again, and remind ourselves of the beauty all around.
We hope after you see these images, you are inspired to grab someone you love, the family of yourself and discover a new place of wonder and allow yourself to find inner and outer happiness and balance.
