Adventure Calls!
I've been backpacking and day hiking for close to 10 years now and have lately been trying to document some of my adventures with my husband or ones with friends.
We live in North Carolina but love to do most of our backpacking in Wyoming, Idaho, California and Oregon.

Eno River State Park, Buckquarter, Holden Mill & Fieldstone trails.

We started off with it being 28 degrees when we parked at the trailhead. This was supposed to be a group hike of around 12 people. In the end, only 3 of us braved the cool temps. When we started off, my lips and cheeks were so numb but as we got moving and the sun got higher, it became much more comfortable. Hot cocoa at the Buckquarter group campsite really made it nice. Much more wildlife tha...

Overnight backpacking trip in Uwharrie National Forest, Troy NC.

This was going to be a 2 night backpacking adventure but with the temps being quite warm for November, we decided to just do an overnight. We started around 2pm or so after having a big lunch. We ran into a very large group of backpackers heading in and they told us where they planned to camp the first night. Since we were planning the same route, we decided to go the opposite direction on the ...
Hiking 9+ miles at William B. Umstead State Park
Переглядів 87Місяць тому
What was supposed to be a 7.5 miles ended up being a slightly different route that was 9 miles, maybe a bit longer. It was a beautiful fall day on trail. While it can be noisy, it's nice to have an extensive trail system in the middle of Raleigh NC.
Eno River State Park, Buckquarter Trail, post Hurricane Helene.
Переглядів 622 місяці тому
We intended to do the Holden Mill Trail, one of our favorites, before meeting family in the afternoon. This was just over a week since Hurricane Helene. The Eno River was up to over 14 feet at one time and we knew there would be some debris and washout along the route. We did not expect the ridiculous amount of mosquitos, though we should have. Fall is coming and we're looking forward to the be...
Wild ponies and more! Grayson Highlands State Park, VA
Переглядів 3162 місяці тому
Overnight backpacking trip at Grayson Highlands State Park VA. We had some intermittent showers but nothing like the forecast was calling for. It was very hot and humid at the end of June 2024. There were many wild ponies and foals along with longhorn cattle and their calves. I've been to Grayson Highlands many times for backpacking and day hiking. This was the first time the cattle and ponies ...
"Peak Bagging" Eno River State Park, Cox Mountain Trail
Переглядів 492 місяці тому
I use the term peak bagging very, very loosely. Cox Mountain sits at a whopping elevation of 875 feet. The climb is approximately 400-ish feet, depending on which way you do the loop. It's not the most scenic trail the Eno River State Park offers but we haven't been on the trail for a while so we thought we'd check it out. There is a lot of history in the area and many trails offer old homesite...

John Muir Wilderness, Little Lakes Valley to Gem Lakes
Переглядів 603 місяці тому
Approximately 7.5 mile hike on August 17, 2024. The trailhead starts off at an elevation around 10,200 and tops off around 10,900 at Gem Lakes. Parking fills up quickly so get there early. Beautiful views all around with streams and lakes all around. Very gentle elevation gain with only a few lung and leg burners here and there.
Scenic Drive from Bryce Canyon NP to Capitol Reef NP

Sit back and enjoy our scenic drive from Bryce Canyon National Park to Capitol Reef National Park along Scenic Byway 12, one of America's most beautiful scenic byways. The landscape was majestic and diverse. Your head had to be on a swivel. Luckily, I was the passenger while Steve kept his eyes on the road like the safe driver he is. I did offer to drive on numerous occasions but Steve declined...

Our trip began a couple of days before, flying into Las Vegas and departing immediately to Zion National Park. We landed in Vegas around 5 pm and after arranging an appropriate rental vehicle that wasn't full of someone else's trash and random gold fish crackers found throughout the vehicle, we hit the road to Zion, stopping for supplies and dinner along the way. We lost an hour with the time z...
