Hiking in the mountains of Western North Carolina is so much fun. And it's not just all about getting a workout, but that is great too! Hiking together as a parent / child team brings so many good times forth. The talk while you walk. The questions your child asks. The nature that you get to experience together. The energy that the mountains seem to give to each of us. We love to go hiking regularly, so if that is your thing and you are looking to team up with us, let's make a plan! Here are some great hikes that you can take on your own:

1. Rattlesnake Lodge -
2. Montreat NC -
3. Craggy Gardens -
4. Mt. Pisgah -
5. Graveyard Fields -
6. Catawba Falls -
7. Skinny Dip Falls -
8. Mount Mitchell -
9. Grandfather Mountain -

Fishing in the mountains of Asheville and Western North Carolina is so much fun. Gigi actually caught her first fish ever on Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain NC.

4. Lake Louise -

Gigi loves to climb trees, but safety is always our first concern. We stick to the smaller trees, but not too small that we could damage them. We always want to be careful not to be destructive in any way toward nature. We are planning a few trips to treetop adventure parks, so stay tuned so you can join in on the fun!
