Hello All, my name is Kathy Gardin, and I started my RUclips channel/vlog to record and document my family’s outings, for my family and friends, and anyone else who is interested in watching. I have even started compiling photos from years ago and putting them in a video format (more to come on those). I love almost anything outdoors, especially the mountains of western NC (Where I grew up). Thank you for visiting my channel.
2024 07 03 Thunderhole Falls Trail
Destination: Thunderhole Falls Trail - Near Blowing Rock, NC
On July 03, 2024 my son Jeff is off on another adventure.
I did not go on this hike, as I was not sure it would be a good fit for me. The trail is remote, less traveled, with a steep hill to get down to see the waterfalls (there’s a rope to assist with getting down and back up). Although after seeing his photos and videos I have suggested we go back again in the fall when the leaves will be in color. (I still don’t anticipate going down to the falls though…LOL). I can never say it enough we are so blessed to live among these beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. My motto now is….Get off the couch and get outside, even if it’s to sit on...

The trailhead can be found at 243 Laurel Lane. If you prefer not to use GPS, simply head downtown and find Laurel Lane off of Main Street. The trailhead will be on your left, with limited parking available. If the lot is full, there is a parking garage on your right. Most consider the trail as Moderate. There are visible houses along the first section of the trail, but this is to be expected be...
2024 06 20 Babel Tower Trail NC
Просмотров 2121 день назад
Destination: Linville Gorge Wilderness, NC On June 20, 2024 my son hiked the Babel Tower Trail. It’s not a very long hike, but there are lots of roots and rocks. The trail goes downhill to the tower, then you reverse course and climb back out. Take note, AllTrails considers this a “hard” trail, so not for everyone. Of course with anywhere in the Linville Gorge Wilderness area the sights are so ...

On May 07, 2024 we are off on another adventure, to the Plunge Basin Trail at Linville Falls. This posed a little bit of a challenge for me - as I had forgotten my trekking poles at home. Thank goodness there were small trees and shrubs along the trail that I could hold onto as the trail was very wet and slippery with lots of ups and downs. The area around Linville Falls is a treasure trove of ...

On April 18, 2024 we are off on another adventure to South Mountains State Park near Connelly Springs. NC. It was a beautiful sunny spring day. We were off to hike the High Shoals Falls Trail. We saw beautiful water streams and rivers, wildflowers, and butterflies galore. I would consider this a moderate hike, lots of rock and boulder scrambles as you hike up to the top of the falls. The effort...
Linville Falls Upper Falls and Old NC Hwy 105

You can never go wrong with old roads and hiking trails! On March 13, we took a short road trip to the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, for site seeing, a little hiking, and searching for future trail hiking opportunities. A reminder for anyone going on Old Hwy 105, it is very rough, and I would not advise any travel on this road when it’s raining. As always the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains di...
