About Uphillhike

drawsvg (3) (5) (3).pngJoin 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.
