While on our trip to the mountains a few weeks ago, we decided it was important to explore the mountains. To find out what makes North Carolina unique.
Sliding Rock State Park seemed like the perfect example.
Sliding Rock itself is a natural waterslide deep in the mountains. It’s in a creekbed and is 60 feet long with a water temperature of 40 degrees. A metal handrail has been installed on one side of the creek, and with lifeguards watching, people walk up the rock and slide down.
One side of the rock slides quickly, while people on the other side go slowly. Both kids decided to stick with the slower side, and they absolutely loved it.
At the end of the slide, riders are dumped into a seven-foot deep section of the creek.
Despite the depth and the chill, these two spent hours climbing the rock and sliding down – over and over again!
Doesn’t it make you want to head to the mountains?
