Hiking The Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail
One of the things my girlfriend and I have wanted to do for a long time is take a hike along the Appalachian Trail. Luckily we were able to check it out on our recent trip up to North Carolina. The weather was a tad cloudy but it was still an awesome experience.
The section of the trail we hiked was right along the Tennessee and North Carolina border. The elevation was somewhere around 5,000 ft. so that explains all the clouds. The clouds actually made the …
I’m Off To Climb A Mountain
Mount Mitchell Is The Tallest Mount in the Eastern United States

When it comes to hiking, the park has four different trails that you can choose from with a total of around 7 miles of trails. We opted to hike …
Hiking In Withlacoochee State Forest
It’s no secret that Florida is a flat state. There are no mountains and barely any hills from what I’ve seen. I miss mountains a lot more than I thought I would after leaving Arizona but I have not given up on finding some cool hikes here in the sunshine state.
The good news is that Florida does have a handful of state forests and parks that have some great hiking trails. A perfect example is Withlacoochee State Forest located near Dade City. My girlfriend and I made the drive up there from St Petersburg to check it out and were not disappointed. Continue reading
