Happily Ever Exploring

Was it worth it?! 🌸⇊

We think so. The “Grand Canyon of the East” aka Linville Gorge Wilderness never disappoints no matter the time of year.

✈️ And if you’re flying in from Washington, DC, like we did, the flight from IAD to AVL is only 1.5hrs AND $80ish roundtrip on (just sayin’)!!

Please remember to always practice leave no trace— our National Forests need us now more than ever. Be sure to pack out all of your trash (including organics like apple cores and banana peels), follow posted rules, park only where you’re allowed, stay on established trails and respect wildlife and other visitors.

Be safe out there and
HAPPY EXPLORING!
