My son asked me Thursday evening if I would like to go on a hike with him the next day. I rearranged my work so that I could go. Hybrid work schedules are great – I started working at 5am so I could spend a few hours on the trail with my son. When your son asks to spend time…

Twin Falls, Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock -Pisgah National Forest
This was from two years ago. I should get better about publishing my posts. LOL Not far off the Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll find Sliding Rock waterfall, Looking Glass waterfall and Twin Falls. The Pisgah National Forest is absolutely beautiful. I wrote an entire post weeks ago on these falls and ended up not publishing it. Story of my life!…
Rainbow Falls
I wrote this sometime in 2023….. never published it. Oops. Sometime last month, we hiked to Rainbow Falls. True to its name, there was a rainbow at the falls. It was a little cold the day we went, but we bundled up and braved the mud. Just past Rainbow Falls, there are two more falls. One is Turtleback Falls. Ghost…
Cathedral Falls
We headed to West Virginia for a quick day trip to New River Gorge National Park. The park is a 3 hour drive from our home. I thought it would be neat to see this waterfall with the low temps we’ve been having. It is right off the road, however, the trail was frozen solid. At one point, I just…
Beech Mountain Summit Trail
Our 5th and last day in Maine. 😰 4th day at Acadia National Park. Yes, way back in October. I’m not a very good blogger, am I!? We hiked 3 miles- we made it to the summit of Beech mountain. There was a lot of rock scrambling on the way up, but we did it! Gorgeous views- especially on top.…
Comers Creek Falls
This morning we got up early and headed to Troutdale, VA. It was 22° and windy, but we made the short hike to Comers Creek Falls. Ghost had a great time! It’s his kind of weather. There was a tiny bit of snow on the ground and ice forming on the moving water. The water level wasn’t as high as…
Acadia National Park Day 2
Part 1 – Acadia Mountain Trail In the morning, we headed to Bar Harbor to board a boat to go on a lighthouse tour. Afterward, we ate a delish lobster roll (they had gluten free buns!) and then we hiked Acadia Mountain Trail. It was an amazing trail on the quiet side of the island. It was fairly difficult with…
Beehive Trail, Bass Harbor Head Light- Acadia National Park
Day 1 – Acadia National Park The first day at Acadia, we made it out fairly early to get to the Beehive Trail. The park was really crowed despite us being there the last few days of the peak season. Shops and restaurants were closing down for the season. We were able to get in the last day a local…
Quechee Gorge
On our second day of the honeymoon, we made it to Vermont. We went to Quechee State Park to see Quechee Gorge before heading to our hotel. The most interesting thing of the hike was seeing a hiking cat. Have you ever seen such a thing? I tried to put my black cat, Rose, into a harness and she fell…
Turtletown Falls
Yesterday, we were in Tennessee for a great hike near Tellico Plains. The boys’ retired BMT/hematologist wrote a book about hikes in the Tellico Plains, TN area, so I bought a copy. Originally, we were going to camp this weekend, but my middle son was supposed to go to the beach with a friend. Once the weather changed and got…
