Degree in Meteorology, author of Climb Beyond the Crest and Please Read, I've explored the Roanoke regions Appalachians with a zest to understand our natural world. The Roanoke Appalachians are a recreational treasure. Go hiking, camping, kayaking, cycling, sightseeing and more in the region. Roanoke is also a friendly city with many sites and points of interest of its own worth a whirl to see. Maybe I can help you discover all that is offered here.

Think about Tinker Cliffs for a day hike. There are many exciting views to hike to within the Roanoke region. However, the Tinker Cliff view is a bit different from most. It faces southwest opening a different vantage than other overlooks. Here are a few photos from one such hike. Contact us for more info hikemtn.com

Recently, we took a hike on the Appalachian Trail in Craig County, Virginia. Not far from parking the trail crosses Craig creek where a bridge is almost necessary. As many know, the bridge was removed in the spring of 2023 and has not been replaced or even planned.

This creek is often flowing too rapidly to safely transit and the suggested detour takes hikers 5 miles on roads! This is a huge glitch and more than a blemish on the heralded Appalachian Trail. It seems the Forestry Service has dropped the ball with no vigor to accommodate hikers safety. The bridge has been gone for well over a year with no new structure in sight. For more information on trails or for guidance contact us. hikemtn.com

Late winter, Carvins Cove near Roanoke Virginia can be a great place to hike or take a day's mountain bike adventure. These photos were taken at a point over 3 miles from parking. The preserve has no residential infrastructure yet only minutes from Roanoke City.

Though peak fall colors are over in the Appalachians of Virginia, mountains of data from hiking during that time are still being processed. Here are some photos taken on a hiking adventure in October. Though Apple Orchard Falls had been flowing as a trickle, fall colors were magnificent!

A hike to Dragons Tooth always provides great photos. It's not a long hike from parking but it does get rocky and challenging once the the spur trail joins the Appalachian Trail at Lost Spectacles Gap. Early fall colors highlighted the ascent on a mostly cloudy day.

Winter treks are fun too! Sometimes bizarre events can happen. This Appalachian Trail hike started soon after a cold rain. The cloud deck at the top of the ridge flowed into the valley while we hiked up, ghostly wisps passing us by. What an effect! Come do your own Appalachian hike. Our guide service supports a variety of outdoor adventures. Come hike with us! https://www.excihiking.com

Our guide service is not only dependable but flexible. A recent tour faced the deluge wrought by remnants of hurricane Michael, a nix to hiking.

Rainy Camp - Sunny Hike - Dragons Tooth

Remember Hurricane Mathew? Although our Appalachian region was spared the brunt of the storm, we did receive ample rains in inches. A camping/hiking excursion was scheduled to launch near storm's end, and we never disappoint! Setting up a primitive camp is never easy, but with running water under-foot and rain, the job becomes a battle. I thank all those members that pitched in to help. The camp and hike to Dragons Tooth the next day, filled with sunshine, turned out to be an exciting success! Rely on us for committed service to maximize your wilderness adventure.
