Beautiful, serene,cool and gentle slopes with predominantly flat well maintained paths along creeks.
This place is beautiful and amazing!! The trails aren’t marked out super well but we didn’t get lost. It’s a defiant do over
I have a confession to make. It’s been almost seven years since I last took some decent 360° panorama photos there. Why? Well, there are many reasons. First of all, parking difficulties. You know how hard it is to find a spot near the scenic places? And then you have to lug around your heavy tripod and camera equipment. Not to mention the age disorder that makes me forget where I parked in the first place. Sometimes I spend more time looking for my car than taking photos. Secondly, limited physical strength. I used to be able to walk for miles and climb mountains to get the perfect shot. Now I get winded after a few steps and need to take frequent breaks. I’m getting lazy, I admit it. But I still want to perfect the quality of my 360° panorama photos. I still have a passion for capturing the beauty of nature in all its glory. Maybe there is a place nearby that I haven’t explored yet. Maybe there is a hidden gem that awaits me. Or maybe I’m just talking now and will never get around to it. Who knows? All I know is that I need to get off this couch and do something with my life. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after. Or next week. Or never.
This place was definitely a beautiful park. The only thing it was really hard to find the Amphitheatre, which is the main attraction although I had a really good time once I was able to find it from my friend’s instructions.
I love walking here. Gorgeous paths w/ little to no hassles. Fellow walkers are always so polite when it comes to space. It is relatively quiet as well - only time you ever hear anybody else is when you are passing or they are seated at a bench. I also love reading the little signs around the paths when I take a break to sit down. Great place to clear your mind or get some exercise. Depending on where you begin and which paths you take - you can end directly at Franklin for a bite to eat or more tourism places.
Good trails for a short casual walk near and adjoining the UNC-Chapel Hill campus
Absolutely incredible walking trails. Very lovely in the fall after the leaves fall. People live in the castle, please be respectful. Stone Amphitheater is amazing. Beware of dog poo
Cool place with some fun history you can read about while hiking. Although I need to know what the Monarch of the Forest is. When I went there, I saw a house, that's it.
A SUPER FUN colorful playground in Chapel Hill! Was totally worth the drive! LoL Larger modern playground structure, smaller playground as always for the little tykes⦠This park had a fun rock circle area and also something Iâve NEVER seen before
SWEET PLAYGROUND! Love the complimentary color scheme of orange and blue! Super fun playground with lots of fun paths to go and ladders to climb up on. It has three different slides. Modern playground equipment. The park also has a restroom buildin
Very nice, fun playground. Says for use from 5-12 yr on the bigger equipment but if you have an agile toddler then it would be fine. The equipment seems relatively new, and is enclosed with a fence which is good. Lots of picnic tables and some sha
I canât say enough good about FBY. Since starting classes last October, Iâve experienced significant improvements in my strength & flexibility, and my overall stress level is noticeably reduced. In every class, instructors guide students to find
We took advantage of the beautiful weather one Saturday and drove 2.5 hours to the farm. We paid general admission and got a pumpkin to carve with the goats. The farm is small, organized, clean and very well cared for. They truly care about the anima
What a wonderful place! I obtained the required permit online before my visit from the reserve's website. There are two parking areas, a southern one by Parker Preserve and a northern access point behind the golf course. The northern access point req
The work outs are always different, and work cardio, core, strength and balance. The coaches are great and teach you how to do weights and exercises if needed. There is a wonderful community feel at Orange Theory studios, especially mine! It feels fu
I could not begin to give enough praise to the SECU family house in this paragraph. My husband and I spent 55 days there. We couldnât have done this without this awesome place. The staff really makes you feel at home and as comfortable as possible.
Iâm not a UNC fan (didnât grow up in NC) but I have mad respect for the program and the rich history here. I had the chance to attend a game with some friends and loved every minute of it! The Dean Center is a special place and every North Caroli
Epic 100 year-old drug store on Franklin. Scores of students, locals and visitors flock here for diner classics for breakfast or lunch. The triple deckers and burgers are the things to grab IMO. Next time weâre in CH weâll give breakfast a try.
I had to leave a review! I visited for the first time this weekend and really loved the food! I got the teriyaki chicken & rice plate with a craft limeade (and shared a pancake with my party), and everything was so good, including the sauce served wi
I just love Hawthorne & Wood. We've been here about 4 times now and every time we are just so satisfied. The environment is wonderful and the food is just beyond our expectations every time. Their cocktails are fantastic. And if you don't know what t
This is one of best apartment complexes I have ever been to. I toured the 1bed, 1 bath, apt with an in unit washer and dryer, and an oversized bedroom closet. The bathroom was amazing and the large bedroom had a very nice ceiling fan. A very large li
