Practically in My Backyard
No need to go all the way to the Great Smoky Mountains for good hiking in the Knoxville area. House Mountain is just a short drive away and offers amazing views.

It’s Not Huskey, It’s Just Big-Boned
I was finally able to find the Huskey Gap Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains and trek upwards while listening to a science fiction book from the late nineteenth century.
A Successful Trip to Blood Mountain
Cold? Oh, yes. Steep? Yes, certainly. But is a hike up Blood Mountain in North Georgia with good people worth it in the end? Absolutely.
Spooky Hike
The Dark Hollow Trail and the Ghost House Trail seem like two of the best hikes to take on a Halloween at Big Ridge State Park.
(Re) connecting
Transitioning to a new job in a new city in a new state can be a stressful time, so I headed up to the Andrews Bald Trail in the Smokies to make some new connections.
Busy Day on the Rock
Many people decided, like me, to visit Table Rock on lovely spring day. But not everyone was going to the summit, where I revisited the amazing view from this landmark of the Golden Corner.
It’s a Jungle Out There
Hot and humid, but that’s not unusual in South Carolina in the summer. However, I went to Tamassee Knob all the same.
Icy Morning Hike
I spent a frigid, icy morning on the Tamassee Knob trail in Oconee State Park in upstate South Carolina and the view from the top is amazing.
Rockin’ the Upstate
Table Rock is a hike that certainly got my blood pumping but the views along the way and at the top are more than worth the effort.
Short and Sweet Trail
The Byron Herbert Reece Trail is a short entry trail to the Appalachian Trail and to Blood Mountain, a favorite of mine.
