A sculptured model of the 1903 Wright Flyer
A 60-foot granite monument, dedicated in 1932, is perched atop 90-foot-tall Kill Devil Hill, commemorating the achievement of the Wright brothers.


It was a steep walk to the top of  Kill Devil Hill

View from the Kill Devil Hill Monument of the visitor center
Our next stop was to see this Light House

Then we went to the beach to play in the water - it was only 89 deg today with 70% Humid.

Now we have a 2 Hr. drive back to the RV Park - it was a long day!

  1. If there is Kill and Devil mentioned in a Hill it probably tells you it isn't going to be easy to climb! Lol! That lighthouse looked really neat! Cara
