Enjoying Spring Break at High Rock Haven

This week we spent our spring break at High Rock Haven and just hung out with the kids enjoying what WNC has to offer. For the first time we went on a zipline canopy adventure and all agreed that we just added this to our Top Ten Things To Do List when visting High Rock Rentals.

We took a bunch of photos and video of our daytrip to Navitat. It was just a 40 minute drive to Barnardsville, just north of Asheville. It was awsome! And for those of you who know Mike you know he has a pretty bad fear of heights - well he was a bit nervous but made it over the 220ft gorge tethered to the cables by our super guides Leslie and Matt. Jake was a natural and my stomach flipped as he zipped out of sight far into the canopy. But we can't wait to do it again. See for yourself - below is a link to the video and pictures we took, it's a bit long 12 minutes, but I loved it all can couldn't cut it...

Natures Playground - Sliding Rock

As summer approaches we plan our annual daytrip to Sliding Rock. Sliding Rock is a 60' natural rock slide with a 6-7 foot deep pool at the base - perfect for you folks looking for a waterfall to slide down. The slide is a Forest Service recreation area with lifeguards and staff are on duty from Memorial Day week end through Labor Day. There is a fee of $1 per person to access the area. Parking is somewhat limited, so go early if you can. It will be crowded on a summer week end. I think kids have to be a certain size to slide alone, but can sit on the lap of an adult. There are bathrooms which are open in season.

One of our first trips to Sliding Rock was in 1995, here Mike has Ryan and Brandon in his arms as the head toward the pool of cool water.

In 2004 Jake took the plung on his own.

Mike followed close behind. Me, well I've never had the courage to hit that cold water. But you should definitely make a stop at Sliding Rock on your next trip.
