Sipsey Wilderness – Spring, 2022

The Sipsey Wilderness is an incredible place for backpacking. Located in the middle of nowhere, there are many miles of various terrain types to explore. There are rocky ledges, streams, caves, beaches and more! There is also an abundance of wildlife. We almost always hear owls at night. #Sipsey #Backpacking

Chimney Tops Hike

Chimney Tops is one of the best hikes in the Smoky Mountains. It' pretty much all uphill on the hike in but the hike out is easy. The views are incredible, after making it to the top. Part of the Chimney Tops trail was unfortunately closed because of the fire but it's still possible to

“The Peninsula” Backcountry Campsite – Sipsey Wilderness

This is one of my favorite backcountry campsites in the Sipsey Wilderness! It's an easy hike from Randolph Trailhead. It's in a peninsula, surrounded by water. Water can be accessed, if you're willing to climb down a small slope. #Sipsey #Backpacking

Backcountry Campsite 26 Tour – Dripping Spring Mountain

Dripping Spring Mountain is incredible! This is a tour of backcountry campsite #26 on Dripping Spring Mountain. Backcountry campsite 26 has a small spring, which refilled our water bottles quickly. The campsite is surrounded by cedar trees and there are a couple of fire rings and bear pulley systems. Although we didn't encounter any bears,

Beary Chic Chalet Review

Beary Chic Chalet is the best place to stay in the Smoky Mountains! The views are incredible and it's easy to head to the end of the Gatlinburg strip or directly into Smoky Mountains National Park (completely avoiding the strip). I highly recommend Beary Chic Chalet because we love backcountry camping but also desire a

Savage Gulf Alum Gap Campsite #3 Review

Savage Gulf Alum Gap Campsite #3 is great! If you're looking for a campsite with elevation and a nice view, this one is great! There are several other campsites at Alum Gap but campsites #3 and #4 have the best view. Be sure to reserve your campsite, as backcountry camping in Savage Gulf requires a

DJI Osmo Pocket Perfect Campsite

The Osmo Pocket is first-in-breed. It features mechanically-stabilized video via a gimbal and an optional waterproof housing enables it to function underwater. I've been a long-time GoPro user since GoPro HERO2 but Osmo Pocket can be a game-changer! Osmo Pocket is small, lightweight and can record up to 4K60 video! It has an integrated screen
