There are national park units everywhere and that includes New York City. Last week, I took my two granddaughters to New York City. We all had our lists of things to see and do. Mine included seeing Stonewall National Monument. The small, very small, monument honors the quest for LGBTQ civil rights. The Stonewall Uprising […] The post Stonewall National Monument in New York, New York appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

Another new area to explore in Western North Carolina. WOW! I would think that with so much public land – Pisgah, the Smokies, DuPont Forest and more – that I would have explored it all. But new land and trails are coming online now. Until last year, I only knew one trail in the Old […] The post Fonta Flora, a new trail for me appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

I’ve been hiking in Western North Carolina and E. Tennessee for over twenty-one years. I thought I had seen all the trails or at least, had known all the trail in the area. Wrong! Last week, I hiked the Weed Patch Mountain with Carolina Mountain Club, starting in the general Chimney Rock State Park area.

So much Chat about Chat gpt that I decided to try it. What did this Artificial Intelligence program know about hiking trails? So I asked it: Should I hike the Appalachian Trail? And it answered… Hiking the Appalachian Trail can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, but it is important to carefully consider your own […] The post Asking Chat gpt about the Outdoors appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

Ravenscliff Falls, twice??

Why would I want to go to Ravenscliff Falls twice in one weekend? On the surface it doesn’t make sense but in this case it did – quite well. Ravenscliff Falls is one of many falls in Upstate South Carolina. The falls are located in Caesar’s Head State Park, just south of DuPont Forest. It’s […] The post Ravenscliff Falls, twice?? appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

It is always interesting to think about the past year. What did I do? What worked? How did I spend my time? Not all of it productively, I know. Two major projects occupied most of my time and effort. Carolina Mountain Club: One Hundred Years I spent a lot of time researching, writing and editing […] The post Goodbye, 2022 appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

The North Slope loop in Pisgah Forest was the easiest place to try on the HeadPeace gear that I was sent. Yes, I got them for free in exchange for an honest review. Lindsay Theken, founder of HeadPeace, found me via my website. “Sure, I will try your hat on a hike,” I said. Saturday, […] The post HeadPeace Headgear on the North Slope Trail appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more

Today I went on the traditional CMC cookie hike in Bent Creek (Pisgah National Forest). The forecast called for rain and the other two hikes had already been cancelled. As predicted, we woke up to drizzle. But this was the end of year cookie hike, a hike that dates back to the 1980s. Keiko, the […] The post Cookie Hike – A Carolina Mountain Club Tradition appeared first on Hiker to Hiker ..read more
