THESE ARE MY ADVENTURES...

ADVENTURE - OUTDOORS -
HISTORY - LIVING

I am a guy who loves living life to the fullest. You will find me out hiking the trails of East Tennessee, adventuring in the backcountry, or just visiting historical sites. I record it all here to share and hopefully inspire others to get outside. 

As always my friends, hike on and stay safe!

Rainbow Falls & Trillium Gap Day Hike 

September 11, 2025 - I wanted to test my current endurance level on a tough hike, and what better place to do it than on my favorite mountain, Mount Le Conte. Originally I was going to take Bull Head up and Trillium Gap back down, but forgot Bull Head was closed during the week for trail restoration, so I swapped it out for the Rainbow Falls Trail.
