Fortunately / Unfortunately I simply don’t have time to fully document each of our adventures. Between family trips, solo trips, Scout trips, and random pit-stops to hit a trail we find ourselves out and about quite a bit. That being said I wanted to document on this site all of the mountains we’ve scaled and all of the waterfalls we’ve relaxed at.
As of 7/10/24 all of the mountains on this list are in NC. While there is probably not a specific writeup please don’t hesitate to ask if you are looking for recommendations for any of these locations.
