I love getting the chance to take someone on a ride or hike who isn't from #WNC and surprising them with views like this. The dense forest make it so you have no idea it's coming until it's right in from of you. Truly takes your breath away.

It wasn't until a couple days after I took this I realized the landscape had given me a subtle but almost perfect rainbow gradient from bottom to top. These #mountains are full of magic.

A hazy shot of my daughter and daughter-in-law at Upper Catawba Falls in Old Fort, NC. Plus an incredible view down from the platform at the lower falls. Wildfires have the entire region blanketed in smoke. #wnc #asheville

Hiked to Rainbow Falls in Gorges State Park for the first time today. Pictures and video don't do it justice. The scale is absolutely unbelievable. #wnc #northcarolina #gorgesstatepark #asheville

Looking for UTV rentals in Western NC, was checking out Xtreme Off-Road Adventures and thought I'd look at their services page. Professional makeup consultation was the only one listed. I'm sold. #extremeglam #wnc #northcarolina

Took the hike up to Looking Glass Rock yesterday. Breathtaking in every sense.

Just stop with the AI-everything! #Mountainbikers don't need AI to remind us to drink. We already have that...it's called thirst. Of course there will some gearheads who buy it and I'm sorry, but we're gonna laugh at you. #mtb #mountainbiking

Give it to him Asheville 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

Let's make sure we're heard loud and clear. Hope to see you there.

Protect Our Parks Protest, Asheville! Blue Ridge Parkway Visitors Center, Milepost 384 (between Parkway intersections at US 70 and US 74-A). Noon, March 1. Bring protest signs. Pick up any trash you see. Be cool to the Rangers, disturb no parkway visitors. #Asheville #AVL

Enlightening view of the number of jobs supported by visitor spending at national parks and NPS sites across the U.S.

The #BlueRidgeParkway is a local and national treasure that provides unparalleled access to so much natural beauty in #WNC. These photos of its current post-Helene condition break my heart all over again. #asheville #avl
