We pick the perfect day to hike Blood Mountain! It’s the morning after an evening rain… temperatures are in the 50’s… and we both are off work and on trail! BREATHE!

While the hike up to Blood Mountain is considered a Difficult Hike, Slipper and I feel like dancing our way up to the top! We will certainly engage in a dance on the summit. BREATHE!

It has been far too long since we have both been in the woods together, hiking, talking, laughing, and enjoying the scenery. BREATHE!

We are stoked just driving the back roads to Blood Mountain, and are jazzed to finally make it to the already crowded Parking Lot. BREATHE!

The summit of Blood Mountain is a place where you will want to stay awhile! We enjoy packing a lite lunch, living in the moment and looking at the views.

A lot of people will arrive at the first nice view and believe the view to be the summit. It is not! The first nice view is a false summit! BREATHE! Keep hiking up until you reach the iconic stone shelter! The shelter alone will take your breath away!

This is worth the hike! Climb it! Summit it! BREATHE!
