2.1 miles; Asheville, NC Today was a lovely long walk to two very nice greenway trails in Asheville: Reed Creek Greenway and Glenn’s Creek Greenway. They basically meet at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, which were, of course, closed. Also, a bonus stroll through a technically closed Weaver Park. As I’ve mentioned before, I walk […]

5.2 miles; Horse Shoe, NC So even though I’ve basically not been blogging, I haven’t actually stopped hiking, though you could be forgiven for thinking so.
