Trails, gear and other reviews from Kentuckiana hikers
Blog.com has seen fit to switch formats, which includes them deleting all of my photo albums. Did I happen to mention how bad their customer service is? Be patient, I’m figuring out the new interface and will try to repopulate the images from at least this year.
It looks like I’m going to be the “hiking blogger” for the Louisville Courier Journal’s Outdoors section of the newspaper. I’ll let you know when it is official, but I already blog there in the Reader Blogs.
The same content can be found here, but I’ll probably get more readers there. I’ll keep you posted.
As always, the complete photo albums from my hikes will be kept here.
Sure, why not?
I hiked the Rich Mountain Loop trail in Cades Cove on Friday (8.5 miles) and the Meigs Creek Trail on Saturday (7 miles). As a last second addition, I hiked to Laurel Falls (2.6 miles) Sunday morning just inside the park near the Sugarlands Visitor’s Center.
It was a great trip and I took loads of pictures. I’ll be posting a recap of each trail starting Monday. Over 4 or so days, we saw fog, ice, rain and even a smattering of sunshine. And the best part was of course, thanks to it being January, we got to enjoy the beauty along the trails in virtual solitude.
Check back this week for more details each day.
Howdy.
My name is John Gowin, and I’m going to be your host at the Kentuckiana Hiker’s Review. When I created this blog, I imagined a resource for all of the hikers in Kentuckiana. A site where you could find out current trail conditions, share trail stories, and read reviews of outdoor gear. I also hope the community will share photographs of the beauty and wonder of hiking in Kentuckiana.
In addition to the trails in Kentucky and Indiana, we’ll include trail reviews across this great nation, from the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail, the Smokies to the Sierra Nevadas and much more.
This blog is just a start, but the time to start is now.
I hope you enjoy your visits to the Kentuckiana Hiker’s Review and come back often.
Welcome.
And tell your friends.
(I also blog at The Hiking Writer, where I feature some of my fiction writing, lots of my nature photography and views on pop culture and such, enjoy)
