Today was a fun day! We visited the sites of two of my favorite movies: Lake Lure's Dirty Dancing and Chimney Rock's Last of the Mohicans.
Lake Lure seems to have been left in the past. From the lakeside beach and cottages to the grand Inns, it looks probably just like it did in the 50s.
One of my favorite features was the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge. Spanning a small cut off of Lake Lure, the entire bridge has been made into a garden. And what a garden! Manned strictly by volunteers and relying solely on donations, this bridge is a walk into a fairytale garden.

Chimney Rock, a large monolith, was the site of the filming of The Last of the Mohicans. It showcases Hickory Nut Falls and the magnificent cliff faces of Chimney Rock that will forever be in my mind as the place where the sister died. I can still hear the music as Daniel Day Lewis ran up the bald rock. The hike to Hickory Nut Falls is only a mile and a half and considered a moderate hike. But, we had the furkids with us, so we settled for driving as high as we could and enjoying the breathtaking scenery while sitting in rocking chairs.
Life is simply good.
