What’s your favorite Appalachian Trail hike?? I tried to answer this question myself and I seriously don’t know. I love The Smokies, Roan Mountain, the Grayson Highlands, the Triple Crown, Shenandoah National Park... I mean... everything I’ve ever hiked I’ve loved! But if I absolutely had to nail down an area I would say...... Roan Highlands? But now I want to say the Smokies... and the Grayson Highlands are so damn beautiful too... see? This is hard for me 😂🙈 #iloveitall #appalachiantrail #whiteblaze #myblueridge This shot was taken on the Appalachian Trail near Snowden Virginia 🌳
Today I treated myself to a relaxing (okay not relaxing it was tough, but ya know) hike since the sun finally decided to come out! ☀️ Big Rocky Row has been on my list for forever, I did it once about 8 years ago but didn’t remember much of it, so I’ve been wanting to get back! The James River running through the mountains is gorgeousssss even when it’s swollen and brown. I did the hike up to this overlook and back down (8.2 miles), rather than doing the 12 mile loop. There’s a beautiful river you hike along for the first mile and the rhododendron and mountain laurel are in FULL bloom right now too!! 🌸 I LUVVVED this hike! #myblueridge #visitvirginia #loveVA
If you only had this summer to do all the hikes you’ve ever wanted to do in Virginia and the surrounding area, what would be at the top of your list? Although I’ve already done this hike, I want to do it again, and soon!! #myblueridge #visitvirginia #hikingadventures

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world and where I got the worst altitude sickness of my life 😂 My review of the lake and what I genuinely thought about visiting Puno is on the blog! (Click the link in my bio and scroll down to “Travel”) #peru #southamerica #titicaca #puno
Planning a trip to #Iceland? Get off the Ring Road and venture into the west fjords! We stayed in Bíldudalur and took the winding, crater-sized-pothole-filled-road to this amazing waterfall 😍 Can you spot Michael for scale? #stayandwander #icelandisawesome
I got a cooler full of beer and a campsite by the lake. You in or you in? 🏕🍻🌅 #forgedforlife #letscamp #dirtysweatyhappy

This picture was taken almost exactly a year ago on our fly fishing trip down in North Carolina 🏕🎣⛰ We fished the Nantahala River and Deep Creek in #GSMNP and had an absolute blast. Who else has visited WNC during the spring?🙋🏻‍♀️ #findyourpause #visitNC #flyfishing

Some girls dress up in makeup, heels and dresses... and then some girls dress up in waders, hats and smiles. I’m lucky to have a dude that loves when I wear the latter 😉 Thanks for the snap @michaelsnow14 ! #forceofnature #dirtysweatyhappy #findyourpause #ineedahaircut
