For a second time in less than a month, we made plans to hike Flat Top! But, as before, we soon ended up on "Plan B," as the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed from going further north at Peaks of Otter. Cleanup from recent winter storms have kept crews busy...and the parkway closed. Since we were at Peaks of Otter, we pivoted our plans and decided to hike one of our favorites - Harken Hill. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors in the woods! Catch you later! ~Storyhiker
