Drone Boy and I did a winter hike to Rainbow Falls after a major snowstorm hit the area with 1 1/2 feet of snow. Most had melted by the time we reached the falls - but it was still a "cool" hike. … [Read more...]

In Episode 58, Michael and Tim tell us about their recent hike to Havasu Falls in Northern Arizona. You’ve likely seen the iconic photos of the Falls - the turquoise water set against the desert canyon walls, the idyllic swimming holes surrounded by sunbathing backpackers, this oasis in the middle of a barren Grand Canyon. And you've probably thought about hiking here ... but these guys have actually done it. And they backpacked to the Falls at the ages of 10 and 12! So if … [Read more...]

I nearly didn't recognize the trailhead - and we weren't the only ones! While we loaded our packs, we sent two other hiking groups … [Read more...]

Panthertown Valley is one of my favorite hiking spots in North Carolina. It is located near Cashiers, NC in the western section of the State and was purchased by the Nature Conservancy from Duke Power in 1989.
