Now blogging from North Carolina's Triad (Greensboro/Winston-Salem/Highpoint) and hiking the trails as I find them.

All New: Map page for my North Carolina hikes

Most of the content here reflects five years worth of hikes in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've created a Guide to Bay Area Hikes for those who are looking for nice dirt paths to trod in Northern California.
