A 2 year old boy escaped his mothers grasp on Saturday while hiking at Chimney Rock State Park in North Carolina and fell to his death.
My heart goes out to the family...I can't imagine.
He fell from the Upper Skyline Trail down to the Cliff Trail.
If you saw the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" you may remember the cliff scenes towards the end of the movie..those scenes were filmed here.

It's not really for me to say but....I'll share that there is no way I would have taken my daughter on that trail when she was two..
To Chimney Rock itself yes...but not on the Skyline Trail or Cliff Trail.
But that's me.

The park has decided to continue allowing children on these trails.
