Avid Hiker and Photographer from East Tennessee. I enjoy hiking and camping in the smoky mountains and blue ridge mountains. If you have any questions dm me.

This is a great place to stop while driving or to spend the whole day. It is a great place for photography and picnicing.

Ichetucknee is a great place to visit for snorkelling and for tubing!

I suggest visiting in the spring. There are a lot less crowds in the spring so it is better for scuba diving!

This place has some amazing diving. I suggest going in the morning so there are no crowds.

This is a great trail to take through the swamp land. There is a ton of wildlife to see here and it is fun for all ages.

This is a great area any time of year! In the summer it is a great place to cool off and in the winter it can provide for some pretty cool photography when the temps drop low enough for ice to form.

This is a great place to go hiking however it is very popular so if you want a peaceful place then this is not it.

Although the hike is very steep it is a place to go! The size of the cave is amazing and is a lot of fun for kids to play in.

This is a great trail I have been going here for many years and have fun every time. The trail has a nice slope downhill which is nice especially if you have kids in tow.

This is a very neat place. I honestly like the trail here the most it takes you through a lot of conifers which is not common in this area.

This is a great place to stop right off the road however there is not much to do here but take pictures. It is very acessible for any age group.

Although it is not the smoothest road in the world this is a great place to drive especially in the fall. No 4WD is needed so anyone can come here.

This is probably my favorite bald in this area! The views here are amazing and the stars are even better. It can get very cold here in fall and winter so be prepared.

This is a great place to stop and take some pictures but the pull off is pretty dangerous and it is right on the edge of the road.

This is a great place to take a break and have a nice short walk down a ton of stairs. The waterfall is incredible I just wish you could get closer.

This is one of the best places for cliffjumping and all around fun. Rainbow falls has a few really good jumping spots but the real gem is Turtleback falls which is just on up the trail from Rainbow falls. Turtleback has a slide and jumping spot.

There is so much to do here! You can definitely spend the whole day here. Make sure to check out Hickory Nut falls too.

This is a a great hike to do especially in the fall. The view is amazing but you are not able to get into the top of the tower.

This is a great hike. I suggest going in the spring to see the flowers blooming.

This is a great spot for car camping. I would recomend having a high clearance vehicle but that is not necessary.

This is a great short place to stop off the road. It is a neat place for photography and playing in the river.

This campground is one of the best in pisgah! It is located close to Brevard so it has phone service. The river here is beautiful and is great for trout fishing. The showers are also a nice amenity.

This hike has great views but is very steep for almost the same views you can get from the parkway.

This is a great place to stop along the road to view the waterfall and to cool off in the summer.
