Thursday was our third and final day of our Community Integration Adventure Camp last week and even though the rain returned it cleared up long enough for us to hike up Knocknarea! We had a great day taking in the beautiful views, learning about the local folklore and Queen Maeve, then on to the Riverside Hotel for food.

Huge thanks again to Northwest Adventure Tours for three great days 😁
