Close Encounters of the Bear Kind… we saw 10 more bears today in Cades Cove. This may be our best bear season ever! #greatsmokymountains #bear #wildlife #cadescove

Views from Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) - 6,643’ - Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Best experienced in the winter without the crowds! #hiking #views #snow #greatsmokymountains #winteradventures

Winter Storm hike to Mt. Cammerer #greatsmokymountains #hiking #snow #hikingadventures

First snow of the season for the Smokies, so naturally I had to hike 13 miles to Mt LeConte! #hikingadventures #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #snow

Amazing fall color from Mt Cammerer in the Great Smoky Mountains national park. The hike to Cammerer is a strenuous 11 miles, but it is well worth it for the views, which are some of the best in the park. #hikingadventures #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #fall #views

Fall in the Smokies - It is finally peak color in the Smoky Mountains for the 2026 season. The colors are the best I have seen in several years!#hikingadventures #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #fall

Amazing views from the summit of Cold Mountain (6,030’) in Shining Rock Wilderness #views #hikingadventures #fall

Sunset on Huckleberry Knob on the Cherohala Skyway in NC. #views #hikingadventures #sunset

Sunrise from Huckleberry Knob NC 5,564’ We toughed out the harsh subfreezing temps and 20-25 mph winds and got rewarded with an amazing sunrise! #fall #views #hikingadventures #sunrise

Twin Arches is a great family friendly hike in Big South Fork in TN. The hike is about 1.4 miles total and rated easy/moderate. This is one of my kid’s favorite hikes - it is short, easy, and there are tons of rocks to climb on and plenty of rocky areas to explore. We also ventured off trail down…

Summer is coming to an end in the Great Smoky Mountains.#greatsmokymountains #cadescove #wildlife

Nothing hits the spot like a camping trip at Indian Boundary!

Highlight Reel from the 900 Mile Challenge. Not alll videos are from within Great Smoky Mountains NP, but most are. It’s always hard to try to condense years of hiking and hundreds of miles of trail into a short video… I could make 200 different variations and not run out of content!

TN State Parks - In addition to having the Great Smoky Mountains, we have some amazing state parks in TN! I love living in such a beautiful place full of adventure! #hikingadventures #outdoors #nature

Critters of Cades Cove - We have seen so much wildlife in Cades Cove this year (84 bears since April)! There is never a dull trip to one of my favorite places. #hiking #greatsmokymountains #wildlife #cadescove

Every June, Gregory Bald in Great Smoky Mountains NP puts on one of the best Flame Azalea displays in the world. The hike is long and strenuous, but it is an amazing experience! We hiked up Gregory Bald trail - 9 miles round trip with 2,000’ elevation gain. #hiking #hikingadventures #views…

Amazing waterfall hike in Fall Creek Falls state park. I combined 3 trails to see 4 amazing waterfalls. The trails are short, but very steep and rocky. The views are well worth it! #hiking #hikingadventures #waterfall

We had a great day exploring Shining Rock Wilderness! We hiked a 10 mile loop on Art Loeb Trail & Ivestor Gap Trail to summit four 6,000’ peaks for the South Beyond 6K Challenge - Black Balsam Knob, Tennent Mountain, Grassy Cove Top, and Shining Rock. The views from the trail and the balds are…

Roan Highlands on the AT - this hike begins at Carvers Gap in Roan Mountain state park. We hiked northbound on the AT for 2.75 miles to summit Grassy Ridge. Along the way we had 360 degree views, rhododendron blooms, and flame azaleas. Easily one of the best hikes I have done!#hiking #views…

Charlie’s Bunion is one of the most popular destinations in Great Smoky Mountains NP, and for good reason - the views are spectacular! The bunion can be accessed by an 8 mile round trip hike on the AT starting from Newfound Gap parking lot. The hike is moderate-strenuous, gaining over 2000’ total…

If you love waterfalls, this is the hike for you! Virgin Falls Trail is located in Scott’s Gulf Wilderness State Park near Sparta, TN. The hike is strenuous, gaining over 1500’ elevation over about 9 miles roundtrip. Along the trail, you will pass Big Branch Falls & Big Laurel Falls. We took a…

Awesome 7 mile loop hike in Shining Rock Wilderness to mark off 2 peaks for the South Beyond 6K Challenge - Chestnut Bald & Sam Knob. The summit of Chestnut requires a short off trail bushwhack. The day started out rough with high winds and clouds, but cleared nicely by time we summited Sam Knob…
