Hiking vacations...
 

Hi everyone, my friends and I have had the opportunity to hike several states-almost 35-and several countries, and we have put that experience out on the web. Our personal website www.naturalbornhikers.com has tons of photos and a trail description of every trail we have hiked. If you are looking for some ideas this year...especially National Parks..our site might help. Feel free to check it out. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy hiking! :-)

i've come across your site before just surfing the net and it has some fantastic information!!
Thanks for sharing!

Cool! Small world! Thanks for checking out our site...glad you like it :-)THanks for posting. Happy hiking.

Thanks for the info...I just looked at it and it looks wonderful! We will be going to SF in April and needed info about the trails there. Thanks again!

I wish I saw your website before we went to Austria and Germany a few months ago! It looks like a great site. My husband and I like to hike, so I'm going to bookmark your website.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks judyrem and tcreath! Let me know if you have questions on any of the trails...Enjoy! :-)

Wow! Spectacular site....awesome photos and lots of great info.

Thanks for sharing, but now we will all want go with you :D

Man, you guys get around. It was great fun to look at the photos of the comparatively few trails that I've had a chance to hike. Thanks for letting us know about your site. We used to live next to the Chugach State Park. This made me nostalgic.

truhs, hey glad you enjoyed! wow, Chugach would be an excellent place to live...except in winter :-) Beautiful country! Thanks for checking out our site!

veldurt,

Frances at Pensacola Beach, here. Have "talked" with you in the past via your website. Still check it every so often to see what's new.

Thanks to you we got interested in "The Wave." I managed to get 2 of the permits for this May and so went back to your site and re-read your report and printed some pertinent info. Same for a couple of other hikes we'll be doing on this trip.

Thanks for keeping your pages going.

FYI. The National Seashore (Naval Live Oaks)in Gulf Breeze is much more open now than it was pre-Ivan and Dennis. But PegLegs on the Island is back up and going strong.

Happy hiking.

Hey floridafran!!! you have mail :-)

Thank you for jogging my fond memories of many a past hike. I recall those blueberries, rhododendron, skinnydipping in the creek, and a few cold Gennessee Cream Ales after a hike in the Dolly Sods as a teenager. I have done more than couple of the others as well, including the multimile hikes in the dark over the lava flows in Hawaii, guided only by the ant-like flow of the flashlights of fellow hikers. Hiking is a principle component of all my travels. As I am contemplating a trip to St. Lucia, I am glad to know it has a hike to look forward to!

What are some of the best places to take a hiking vacation in the eastern us?

Hey asdaven, northeast or southeast?

Both

velodirt, your site has been bookmarked on my computer favorites for a long time already, over a year an a half. I found it while planning a hiking trip to Utah. Thanks for all the work it takes to keep up a site like that.

emd: Thanks so much! That is really nice to hear ;-)

asdaven: Lets see...you can't go wrong in the Great Smoky Mountains. I would also suggest the Adirondaks for the northeast, and the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia. Those are few of my favorites. Hope that helps.

I am thinking about going to smokies this summmer and do some hiking. Your website has some useful info on hiking in the smokies. Would you reccomend the chimney tops trail? Is the end part of it scary? It looks really cool (I like scary). Andrews Bald also sounds interesting, I don't know if that one was on your site. What are you top picks for day hiking in the smokies? Are the smokies your favorite in the eastern us?

Hey - thanks for posting your site. I am having a great time reading it and looking at the pictures.

Have you been to the Lakes Basin off of Hwy 49 in California? There is a great hike to the top of the Sierra Buttes there.

asdaven: I sure would recommend the Chimney Tops Trail...one of our absolute favorites!! It was my first major hike and remains one of the most fun...we have hiked it several times! The last part..if you go all the way to the second chimney..is pretty scary. Andrews Bald is on our site...another fun hike. Also check out rainbow falls and ramsay cascades, not to mention Mt LeConte. You will love any trail in the Smokies, and yeas, I would say it is my favorite in the East! :-)
