My hiking adventures
Yellowstone is about an hour and a half from us. It’s also know to be very crowded. I was pushing for leaving at 6 am. Julie wasn’t going so Brandi drove. We are going to Fairy Falls and Grand Prismatic geyser. There is zero signal in Yellowstone except for in the villages. We got to... Continue Reading →
It was a beautiful day for horse back riding. We drove about 45 min to where the float ride met. We used Baker Ewing. It was so hot. Everyone stayed in their clothes and I changed to shorts. Our van showed up and drove us to the drop in. Our guide wasn’t very friendly and... Continue Reading →
6/9/21 Today was a cool day. We are going horse back riding. They don’t take reservations so just show up. We used Swift Creek Outfitters. They were great. We would highly recommend them. The day started off slow then we were on our way. Julie drove the van. We ended up down a long dirt... Continue Reading →
Grand Teton National Park 6/8/21 Brandi, Christi, Lisa, Julie and I We flew into Jackson Hole and are staying at Colter Bay in the Tent Village. Julie drove her big Winnebago to the trailhead. Her husband John was going to sit in it while we hiked. She parked at the trailhead of Lupine Meadows, got... Continue Reading →
5/16/21 Sherri and I The hike up Cold Mountain leaves from Daniel Boone Boy Scout camp near Canton NC. A very cool boyscout camp. First thing I saw was a beaver or something swimming in the lake. Then an amusing 12 1/2 mile and hour speed limit sign. We parked on the road along the... Continue Reading →
5/14/21 Lisa and I Gas shortage did not stop us. Lisa had a full tank and we decided to go to Saluda NC . It’s only 1 1/2 hours away. The first one we went to was Melrose Falls. This is not quite a mile both ways. This is actually the only hike I’ve ever... Continue Reading →
Holly, Everett and I 4/30/21 This was a hike I have been wanting to do 1-because it's in the Green River Game Lands in Suluda NC, 2-because I've seen pics and it looks awesome and 3-because I really like the names of these falls! There is one official trail that you can even find it... Continue Reading →
Sherri, Lisa, Mike and I This hike is one of the best in North Carolina. But aren't they all! It's pretty strenuous but the beauty and the views sure make up for it. We started from the Little Hump trailhead off Highway 19 on Roaring Creek Rd. From the parking lot there were two ways... Continue Reading →
12/16/21 Anna, Holly, Lisa and I I had doubts about going this hike. It had 3 waterfalls on it but was nearly 17 miles round trip in the Smokies. The elevation wasn't to bad 2400 feet but 17 miles is a lot! I'm so glad I went. This was off Interstate 40 right at the... Continue Reading →
12/9/21 Mike and I We started at the Purchase Knob trailhead. It is actually a road to the Appalachian Highlands Science center. It is not open at all during covid so the gate is closed. It's about a 2 mile uphill road walk. Mike didn't want to take the side trail to Purchase Knob so... Continue Reading →
