Come hiking and trail running with me as I explore Meigs Creek Trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I completed this trail as I'm working my way towards completing the Smoky Mountains 900 miler challenge. The Smoky Mountains 900 miler challenge consists of completing every trail within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Meigs Creek Trail starts at a small parking lot in an area called The Sinks, which has a waterfall and down river a little ways a place to swim, so if you also complete Meigs Creek Trail, you'll get to see two waterfalls.

Come mountain biking with me as I explore Vee Hollow, a relatively new mountain bike park, located just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in Townsend Tennessee. This was my first time at Vee Hollow, and I explored the skills area and the green trails, TN Trot and White Lightning. I'm a beginner mountain biker so I stuck with the beginner trails at Vee Hollow. Vee Hollow is a great option if you're looking for mountain bike trails in Tennessee. Hope you enjoy this mountain biking vlog!

Come explore with me as I hike and trail run along Anthony Creek, the Appalachian Trail, and Leadbetter Ridge in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This lollipop loop starts and ends at Cades Cove picnic area, near Townsend Tennessee. This is a great trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park if you're looking for solitude, as the only other hikers I saw were on the Appalachian trail. I went hiking and trail running on this trail as part of the Smoky Mountains 900 miler challenge, which includes hiking every trail in the smokies.

Cades Cove Loop in Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers a vehicle free day on Wednesdays during the summer. I took advantage of this to bike Cades Cove in order to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery, view wildlife, and see the history of the Smoky Mountains. My favorite part of biking Cades Cove was the opportunity to see a mama black bear and her cubs, both the bear cubs and mom had no interest in us gathered around to watch the forage in the fields. In addition to the black bears and other wildlife in the smokies, Cades Cove also has a lot of history to offer, as it was originally a settlement before it became a national park. Along the road there are multiple stops where you can view old cabins, churches, and even an old grist mill. Biking, hiking, or even driving Cades Cove Loop Road is a great option for anyone looking for things to do in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Day 1 of Roam Fest - https://youtu.be/FMXtq4VH2G8 Days 2 and 3 of Roam Fest Knoxville were just as fun as day 1. It was great to explore more of Baker Creek Preserve and Knoxville Urban Wilderness, and go back to my favorite trail from the weekend, Cruze Valley. I started both days by mountain biking, but Saturday ended with trying a handcycle with Catalyst Sports in Knoxville, the mega raffle, and a silent disco dance party. I can't wait until Roam Fest is back on the East Coast, and I certainly plan on biking more of Baker Creek Preserve and Knoxville Urban Wilderness between now and then, I didn't realize how many good mountain bike trails Knoxville Tennessee has!

I had an amazing time at Roam Fest Knoxville this year! For those who've never heard of Roam Fest before, it's a 3 day women's mountain biking festival, this one happened to take place in Knoxville, more specifically, Baker Creek Preserve. Roam Fest is full of group mountain bike rides, mountain bike related workshops, and fun evening activities. For my group ride on day 1 we rode Red Bud Crest and Cruze Valley. I have a lot more trails to try, but so far Cruze Valley is my favorite trail at Baker Creek Preserve, it's a super fun and flowy downhill trail, great for beginner and more advanced riders.

Hustle on the Trestle virtual adventure race was my first time adventure racing.This course is along High Bridge Trail State Park in Farmville Virginia, and though the competitive time period is closed, the course is still open through the end of the year. Being a beginner at adventure racing, my biggest struggle with this race, was the navigation portion. High Bridge Trail is a popular trail for biking, and I saw many other bikers out enjoying the trail on this day. Hope you enjoy my beginner adventure racing vlog!

Come solo camping with me at Smith Mountain Lake State Park Campgrounds. While at Smith Mountain Lake I went mountain biking and hiking at High Bridge Trail State Park, went trail running along turtle island trail, went stand up paddle boarding in the lake (on my cheap Amazon paddle board), and on my way home stopped at Hungry Mother State Park to explore Molly's Knob. I'm working on the Virginia State Parks Trail Quest, so it was really awesome to travel to 3 state parks in one weekend. In addition to biking, hiking, trail running, and paddle boarding, I also show you a bit of what a tent camping site at Smith Mountain Lake State Park looks like, show some of what I eat while camping, and how I spend my time while camping, when I'm not out exploring trails. Hope you enjoy my solo female camping vlog!

Come explore The Great Channels of Virginia with me on my solo female hike! The Great Channels hike is a relatively plain uphill trail for 3 miles until you reach the entrance to the labyrinth of slot canyons naturally carved from sandstone. I have yet to find anything else resembling slot canyons on the East Coast. The Great Channels are located near Brumley Mountain (Cedar Bluff) in Virginia, and in my opinion are one of the best hiking trails in the area. Hope you enjoy my solo female hiking vlog!

Explore with me as I hike and trail run along the Appalachian Trail to Laurel Falls so that I can sketch next to a waterfall. I worked on sketching morel mushrooms with some pretty basic art supplies (mini sketchbook with a ballpoint pen). Laurel Falls is a great option if you're looking for a short hike along the Appalachian Trail in the Tennessee/North Carolina area. It's a fairly flat and easy trail most of the way, which also makes a great option for trail running. Hope you enjoy my solo hiking and sketching vlog along the Appalachian Trail!
