After the lighthouse cruise we headed on back to Newport and did a few miles of the Cliff Walk. The Cliff Walk is a 3.5 mile walk that runs along waters edge, behind many of the mansions. The view is breathtaking but what I didn't know when we started out is that a good percentage of the walk is not along a path but along rocks. You have to go through a couple of creepy tunnels and then you hit a portion that seemed as though you need to be a rock climber to complete it. At that point we turned around and headed back because it started to feel too risky. We walked for over two hours straight. I joked that it was a training walk for the Avon Breast Cancer walk in 2 months.

A shot of the Astors' Beechwood Mansion. Joe and I didn't tour this one but fell in love with it on the Cliff Walk. The next time we head back to Newport we're definitely touring this one!
Me getting ready to head through the first creepy tunnel. It's actually not a very long tunnel but because its curved it looks super long and its pitch black. I definitely conquered a fear that day!
