My hiking adventures
2/29/20 Sherri, Brandi, Cathy, Andi, Kristin and me Hiking is awesome. I love it and I crave it. I have what my kids call FOMO or fear of missing out. I'm envious when I miss a hike or if I see someone do a great hike I have to go. I did the hike to... Continue Reading →
12/28/19 Brandi, Christi, Andi, Jon and I This is a very fun and beautiful trail. It's actually not a trail anymore. It's a scrambler trail so you need a scrambler map to follow it or someone who's been there before. We met at the info cabin and then followed each other to Connolly Cove trailhead....

10/4/19 Lisa and I Lisa, my crazy friend got off work at 7 am and I picked her up at 8. We headed straight for the Linville Gorge. I thought this would level the playing field since she hasn't had any sleep. 🤣 We went to Table Rock Road and Parked at the Sitting Bear... Continue Reading →

10/28/18 Sherri and I Hiking the Linville Gorge area is always spectacular. This is the first time to Table Rock for either of us. The only bad part is the 6 ish mile dirt road to the trailhead! It's a pretty rough road in spots. First we passed the Hawksbill trailhead and considered doing this... Continue Reading →
October 13, 2018 Rogue Dames Hiking Group I found this Charlotte hiking group and made a good decision to join this hike. I've never hiked with people I don't know but this hike was so intriguing that I had to try! I was on the waiting list for nearly a week because for wilderness hikes... Continue Reading →
