“The Youngs Mountain Trail is Conserving Carolina’s most spectacular trail project yet, and it will serve as a crown jewel segment of the budding Hickory Nut Gorge State Trail network, Trails Specialist Peter Barr said. Its overhanging rocks and dramatic cliff ledges offer stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains, including Buffalo Creek Park and Chimney Rock State Park. With the opening of the Youngs Mountain Trail, this breathtaking landscape is one step closer to being linked together by the Hickory Nut Gorge State Trail.”
The trail passes through 437 acres of forever-protected land that provides a haven for biodiversity, including numerous rare or endangered plants and animals. The mountain is home to bear, deer, bobcats, turkeys, and many other kinds of wildlife. The lower part of the trail crosses several beautiful brooks while the top of the trail passes over sheer rock with a lush community of mosses and lichens.

It was named Operation Freedom because had we been able to have it in our own state, we would not have to travel, Kim Skaggs, the state GOP s executive director, said in a telephone interview Monday.

Palestinians react as Israeli authorities prepare to demolish a house in Hebron, March 2, 2021. Since 2015, Rep.

For most others in her party, the check the U.S. wrote to Israel every year was not up for debate.
