One of the features along the hike to The Pool in Rocky Mountain National Park is that you'll walk thru Arch Rocks, a couple of house-sized rocks that landed on the trail when a large boulder fell from the cliffs above and split apart. This popular year-round hike can also be combined with the Cub Lake Trail (http://www.rockymountainhikingtrails.com/cub-lake.htm) to make an outstanding and easy loop hike.

The hike to Mount Rogers - the highest point in Virginia - is one of the best hikes east of the Rocky Mountains! Following the Appalachian Trail, you'll have outstanding panoramic views for most of the hike. You're also likely to see the wild ponies on Wilburn Ridge.

Yes, this is the same Rocky Top that inspired the famous lyrics that is now the fight song for the Univ of Tennessee. This hike is one of the best hikes in the Smokies, especially if you hit the trail in June when the mountain laurel is on full display at Spence Field. Make sure to watch the video.

With nearly 360 miles of trails, Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado is an absolute hiker's paradise. Trails range from flat lakeside strolls to steep mountain peak climbs. Check out my hike reports & photos from the Keyhole on Longs Peak, The Loch, Odessa Lake, the Old Ute Trail, Sky Pond and Bluebird Lake.

One of our prime hiking destinations for the week was a climb up 10,566-foot Avalanche Peak, located about eight miles from the park's east entrance. We put this hike at the top of our itinerary because it's one of the higher peaks in Yellowstone, and it didn't require any technical skills to reach the summit.\n

Make plans now to see the world famous flame azaleas at the summit of Gregory Bald in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The spectacular display of wildflowers usually peak during the mid-to-late June time period. The hike to Gregory Bald is a roundtrip of 11.3 miles and a climb of more than 3000 feet, but is well worth the effort.
