It is perhaps slightly misleading to list Cold Spring Gap as a destination. There is no direct route there that doesn’t entail at least 10 miles of fairly rigorous hiking, which implies an overnight stay somewhere in the park. [...]

One can easily spend a week in the Lake Winnipesaukee region. First of all, let me suggest motorcycles as your primary means of transport. They are ubiquitous in the region, the winding roads are conducive to their use, and they are available for rent at several location in Manchester, NH. Regardless of your mode of transportation, there are a multitude of day hikes surrounding the lake in all directions. More at: http://www.lovetheoutdoors.com/lake-winnipesaukee/

Nolan Creek is absolutely gorgeous in the fall. Of course this can be said of many areas of the Smoky Mountain National Park. Nolan Creek combines an idyllic setting of frolicking stream, thick deciduous canopy and wide curving trail, almost more of a country road than a hiking trail. Considering it...

While it is unlikely you will run into Okefenokee Joe, it is very likely that you will see several alligators. It may be unnerving to float by in a canoe not much bigger than some of these giants, …

Silver lake is a common name for alpine lakes but in this case I am referring to the one near Mount Townsend in the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. It lies in a cirque at the head of the valley that Silver Creek runs down. The lake itself can be reached either from forest road…

There are some hidden gems that…
