Hello! I’m in the early planning stages of a four or five day trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC next month-looking for info/suggestions for campground & “must see” hikes. We are generally planning to begin around Blowing Rock and exit somewhere near the VA border. Questions for those...

Hi, Has anyone been up White Cap recently and/or been up either the Logan Brook or White Brook Trails? Looking for road/route current conditions for a trip to Kokadjo next week. Thanks in advance!

MichaelJ and I are heading to Sedona AZ in the beginning of March! We have 3 FULL DAYS to explore, and hope to spend the first two at the Grand Canyon (South Rim) and the third in Sedona. Looking for tips from those who have been before, what are your two MUST DO day hikes in the Grand Canyon...

I'm considering getting a GPS tracker for my little Spaniel -- does anyone have any experience with them (and if so, this model in particular?) Thanks in advance for any feedback! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PDPGUK6?psc=1

A little late posting this, its been a rough month. We found out last July that our dear friend and best hiking companion, Terra, had a brain tumor. At age 13, we decided rather than try to medically intervene in what was a 3-6 month prognosis, that we would instead spend the time doing things...

I have a friend who is planning on hiking Big Slide via the Brothers with her dog. It's been quite a few years since I've done that hike, and I don't recall any issues. Can anyone confirm that? TIA

Congrats to Pemi for completing the NH4ks today on a hike of M and S Carter - great packed trail conditions and a wild cloud show all day!

Can anyone tell me the current status of the bridge at the start of the Jewell Trail, please? I have heard reports it may be out? Thanks! Sabrina

We don't get out as much as we used to..life, the drive and competing interests....but it was decided earlier in the week that a Zealand Bonds Traverse was really a "must-have" summer kind of walk. Hope to be doing one every year at least for many years to come. We had the pleasure this time...
