Where is your favorite place to experience the outdoors?

We’re always asking, “Where is your favorite place”. We‘ve been to places like Damascus VA for trail days in the Spring to Guest Appreciation Festival in the Cherokee National Forest, NC during Halloween. Big South Fork River always brings up interesting convo between Pikka and I. Especially where we missed our portage, but that’s a story for another time. I enjoy sitting around a campfire with a great plate of food and striking up a conversations with a fellow gear junkie or trailblazer.

It’s these simple things that allow our outdoor experiences to expand to a different level. We share each experience with others so that they may also one day have the opportunity to visit that location. Have you ever gone to a location based on a recommendation from a friend? I have had several tell me that there is nothing like the Appalachian Trail, the Ocoee, or the Smokies; and the stories go on and on. What’s your favorite camping, hiking, or paddling spot? Are there any ties with another spot?

Tell us what you think. Post a Comment!

my fave place to experience the outdoors?? hmmm
Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness. Great Cave to stay in. and one of Tennessees best water falls.

It's an 8 mile (rough) hike to Virgin Falls itself, if you want to squeeze it in a day. Stop at Big Laurel falls and have a refreshing lunch be the huge cave. If you backpack there, its a great place to stay and and hike out the next day to Virgin Falls and some of the other great sites out there. Its about 3 hours from Nashville...
