Hiking Enthusiasts?

cinnamongrrl · 07-22-2014, 05:58 AM

I now live within 45 minutes to an hour of:

The Smoky Mountains

Pisgah National Forest (this is actually about 20 minutes away)

Nantahala National Forest

DuPont State Park

Cherokee National Forest

Needless to say...much hiking will ensue

I will be posting here a lot...and with my new phone, the pics should be amazing

These places are fantastic to see,I use to hike hear but over the years snakes,bugs both flying and crawling and ticks have gotten so bad I quit going.

Yes! I love this thread. Subscribing now. I'm going to snap some pics of my next hike for you enthusiast.

I'd love to take a sabbatical and hike the AT someday. Ah, dreams

That's my dream also! I'm seriously considering going in March...getting back in time for nursing school in September (if I get in right away)

That leaves the fall and winter to train and get in shape...I need to get much gear.... I'm telling everyone back home to get me gift certificates for Dick's....and no...the irony is not lost on me

Ooh what a brilliant thread! Thanks Girl On Fire.

Yes I love hiking too, in summer or winter or whenever, through forests or up hills or wherever. There's so much to see and so little time.

I'm about to head off for 2 weeks hiking across Spain. I'm planning to take a lot of pics.

I love everyone's photos on here, they're so beautiful and I can almost imagine being there . Keep them coming.

I absolutely love hiking, but sadly don't do enough of it. This thread has inspired me to change that starting today! Instead of languishing on my day off, I'm going to hike Devil's Dyke, part of the South Downs National Park. The plan is to get lost in nature more mentally than physically (but I'll bring a compass just in case!) by trekking through the rolling hills of the English countryside ending up along the coastal part of the park. It's a beautiful summer's day for a hike!

Couldn't agree more!

Where in Spain will you be?

Redsunflower · 07-23-2014, 06:32 AM

I'll be in the North, carrying a rucksack, sleeping in hostels and hiking through countryside and villages and maybe a city or two.

What does everyone else have planned?

This is a favorite place to visit, during spring or summer. It's gorgeous during the fall months. Hazardous, during the winter months. Rico and I are thinking about our wedding plans and this is one possible place we are considering.

Lots of places to hike on trails throughout the Columbia River Gorge.
Truly breath-taking beauty.
