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 place is hands down one of the best places for star gazing and photography.

This is a great place to hike and a cool place for photography. Some of the boards are worn out so watch your step.

This is one of the best campgrounds because it is so high in elevation it is cool year round.

Waterrock knob is a hike I do every time I make my way through on the parkway and it is an awesome place if you are looking for a shorter hike.

This hike is a great place to check out. The hike is very popular so there are a lot of people around.

This place is truly amazing and holds a special place in my heart. Although camping is not specifically allowed enough people do it that its basically allowed.

This place is truly amazing! Unfortunately recently there was a flood that washed out the last mile of road so you have to park and walk but its worth it.

This is a great spot for cliff jumping and swimming. Don't forget your GoPro or underwater camera for the beautiful clear water and trout filled river.

This is a great hike regardless of the crowds.

I did this hike in the very early morning in June so it was quite sweltering but the view made up for all of it. From the top you can see everything around you and you can see the main canyons.

Great details about the trail and the hike is definitely one of my favorites ever!

This is an amazing place to spend a few hours or spend the whole day. This side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a great area and is a really cool place to check out.

In my opinion this is the most amazing place in Yellowstone. The amount of wildlife here is incredible. In one summer day I saw 3 Grizzlies, 8 Wolves, and a few hundred bison and elk.

This area is gorgeous and a great place to check out. It is very easy to get lost in this area because there are a lot of old mining trail so make sure to write down the directions to the mine.

This hike is a truly hidden gem in Nevada. The hike is very easy for the elavation. The enitre loop is extremely beautiful. The lakes here are crystal clear and provide a great background for photography.

This is an amazing place to go. The swimming hole is great but what is even better is where the water comes from. The water flows out of an underground cave that you can swim up inside. The cave is just big enough to stand in even if you are tall.

If you want a scenic drive away from huge crowds this is the place to be. There are plenty of pull offs to photograph the landscape.

This is an amazing place to stop and swim. There are 3 main hot springs so plenty of room to spread out. Be careful when driving here after rain the mud can get really deep.

These dunes are amazing for all age groups. Hiking to high dune is worth the climb up. I suggest going at or near sunset the different colors make the sand look beautiful.

This is an incredible hidden gem. It is right on the way to the dunes so it is a great place to stop and cool off.

This is a gorgeous area and is amazing in the fall. Hiking to the top of the tunnel is very neat and worth it.

This was one of the first places I stopped at in Colorado on a road trip and it did not disappoint. The campground itself is very clean and well taken care of. The area around the campground is even better with 14ers on all sides it is a very worthy stop.

This area is extremely beautiful however the town itself is very touristy and not very abandoned.

This hike is extremely beautiful and great views to see especially during the winter and spring when you can see the fresh snow glistening on the tree tops.
