A great day - my first hike with my son Andrew since the summer of 2004.
At the junction of Swallow Fork Trail and Mt. Sterling Ridge Trail - as part of a loop hike to Mt. Sterling.
The route: Big Creek Trail to Swallow Fork Trail to Mt. Sterling Ridge Trail to Mt. Sterling and down Baxter Creek Trail to Big Creek Trailhead.
