Hikes

Many of my favorite hikes are to waterfalls -- so be sure to look under the Waterfalls tab for a listing of those great hikes. As you can tell from my list, most of the hikes here are one to three mile hikes (one way) -- some are so easy as to be considered 'walks'! But to me hiking isn't about distance or difficulty...it's a state of mind. :)  For a discussion of the best one-night hikes in our area, click here. For a list of area hiking clubs, click here.
