The idea for Hiker Mind was born late in the year 2020. Following several years of hiking, paddling, camping, and backpacking in states such as Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan, and Ohio, we decided that it was important to document our experiences and share them with others in the outdoor community!
Do you have a passion for hiking? Do you enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer? We have a Hiker Mind, and know there are millions of like-minded adventurers around the world who are enjoying the outdoors every moment.
With time to focus on creativity and a desire to see places we had not seen before, much of 2020 was spent exploring the mountains of Western North Carolina. From the Black Mountains and Linville Gorge, the Balsams, all the way down to Panthertown and the Cullasaja River Gorge, we did our best to see it all. WNC is a beautiful, inspiring region and was the mojo for sparking our creativity to create this space and share all the beauty we have been fortunate enough to see and feel.
Through Hiker Mind, our objective is to inspire you by sharing our experiences in the outdoors. Check out our video reviews and adventure films on our YouTube page, read Travel Stories and Trip Reports on the site, and give our Instagram account a follow to keep up with our favorite moments from the trail.
