Join us for twice weekly hikes that alternate among four fairly standard routes. Typically, we take the same hike twice weekly, three of which are along the mountains-to-sea trail, running alongside the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. Once a month, we go on a hike among the 25 miles of hiking trails within the campus of Warren Wilson College. We focus on weekday hikes, with occasional weekend jaunts. Because we do the same hike twice each week and then repeat it every fifth week, the emphasis …

Looking to start a walking or hiking group for stay at home moms or stay at home dads with babies or young children. We could take turns meeting up in member's neighborhoods for stroller walks or meet at a local park for short hikes. I'm a new mom who just stopped working to stay at home with my now 4 month old. He and I have been going for walks and short hikes but would love company for interesting adult conversation! Hoping this could be a once a week activity.

Let's get out and enjoy the many public parks, greenways and trails in Knoxville, Tennessee and the surrounding counties.

Although our mainstay is hiking we've also  been  biking, camping, kayaking, walking and eating with cameras.  Just about anything outdoorsy with camera included.   The trails we choose range from easy to moderately strenuous and almost all include rocks, roots, and elevation changes. On hikes we do the buddy system which allows more opportunities to take pictures as photographers are of a very curious nature and tend to wander off. Cameras are not required but highly recommended. From our exper …
