Following is a listing of short hikes, generally 2-3 hours. These are great beginner hikes, and geographically close enough to take in a few in a day! Comfortable footwear is a must! Always be prepared for inclement weather. Even on short hikes, I always have a jacket (any time of year), first aid kit, and above all else-- WATER!
I will be adding in more hikes as time permits, including different areas, and some over-nighters, too! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to bookmark this site for future adventures!
The purpose of this site is to share some photos, experiences and fun encountered while hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounding areas. I have found hiking in general to be one of the most exciting ways to spend a couple of hours, or a few days.
Calling home the piedmont of North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Mountains create a magical place, close enough to be convienent, yet far enough away to prevent familiarity. I have been visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains regularly my entire life, and have never ceased discovering new adventures. The trick is not aways finding new places, but more often discovering new aspects of previously visited areas. Sometimes a change in weather can shed new light on familiar ground!
Thanks for taking the time to visit and enjoy the scenery, now get away from that computer and head for the hills!
