About Me
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”13px”][vc_column_text]
Hi, my name is Mark and I blog about hiking and cycling around the Southeast
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” color=”#222222″ transparency=”1″ thickness=”2″ width=”27″ up=”18″ down=”26″][vc_column_text]Join me on Uphillhike as I share my hiking adventures on many of the trails in the Southeast Appalachians and a few out west in Yosemite and Colorado.
My dream is to thru-hike the PCT one day. My bucket-list also includes thru-hiking the AT, bicycling across the US, and taking my Sienna Mini-van (aka camper van) on a camping and adventure trek across the US and to Alaska. For now I’m counting the last few years until retirement while enjoying adventures on a smaller scale.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_single_image image=”2723″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_column_text]
