Hiked out to Chimney Rock last night to try and get some Milky Way shots. It's admittedly not the best time of year for the Milky Way, so I didn't exactly get any amazing shots, but it was fun nonetheless 😀. This shot of Half Moon was taken as the sun was setting. In other news, this did not help my Red River Gorge withdrawal. I think I'll have to do a proper trip next weekend 🤔 . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #hiking #kentucky #ky #sunset #halfmoonrock #chimneyrock #iphoneonly #iphone8 (at Red River Gorge)

Sick of seeing The Sods yet? Well, too bad! 😂. I still can't believe the difference in fall color in comparison to where I live! . . . #westvirginia #wv #gotowv #dollysods #wilderness #cloudy #clouds #fall #autumn #adventure #backpacking #hiking #getoutside #rei1440project (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

Lion's head is definitely worth the side trip if you ever find yourself in the vicinity. We did have a little bit of trouble locating it, but it all worked out in the end 😎. If you look closely, you might even spot a wild @timwatsonoutdoors and @joshherod in their natural habitat. Thanks for creeping in my shot guys 😂 . . . #westvirginia #onlyinwv #wv #gotowv #dollysods #wilderness #getoutside #adventure #hiking #backpacking #lionshead #rei1440project (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

It's hard to beat those mountain views! . . . #dollysods #wilderness #westvirginia #wv #gotowv #adventure #getoutside #hiking #backpacking #mountains #rei1440project #fall #autumn (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

One of my favorite things about Dolly Sods is how quickly the environment changes. You can go from a forest environment fairly typical of the eastern United States to an amazing Grove of pines in just a few steps. . . . #dollysods #wilderness #westvirginia #wv #gotowv #hiking #adventure #backpacking #pines #pinetrees #outdoors #nature #rei1440project #neverstopexploring #iphoneography #iphoneonly #nofilter (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

I just got back from an epic #backpacking trip to Dolly Sods in West Virginia. The trip was great and we got a taste of pretty much everything Dolly Sods has to offer. My only complaint is this nasty cold I left with 😂. We almost canceled this trip due to the forecasted weather, but we couldn't have asked for better conditions! Oh, and just look at those fall colors! . . . #hiking #nature #outdoors #adventure #mountains #westvirginia #gotowv #dollysods #wv #fall #autumn #foliage #getoutside #neverstopexploring #cloudy #clouds #rei1440project #teamcanon #canon70d #hikerlife #theoutbound (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

How a lot of great adventures begin, by driving down long mountain roads. . . . #dollysods #westvirginia #wilderness #wv #driving #mountains #jeep #backroads #adventure #nationalforest (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

Whoa, just realized how much I've been slacking on posting! The good news is that I am preparing to set off on a backpacking trip, so expect some new content real soon 😉. 📸 from the Alum Cave Trail on my way up Mt.

Throwback to a double rainbow (all the way!) in Dolly Sods. This was taken literally right outside my tent door 😎. . . . #dollysods #wilderness #westvirginia #wv #rainbow #doublerainbow #camping #backpacking #getoutside #adventure #hiking #rei1440project (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

One of the best parts of sunrise is seeing that wonderful, warm light get cast onto the landscape 👌 . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #getlostinthered #kentucky #ky #adventureky #travelky #getoutside #onlyinkentucky #explorekentucky #adventure #fog #sunrise #hiking #rei1440project #ravensrock (at Red River Gorge)

One of the time lapses from my latest #adventure #vlog. It's amazing watching the fog behave like some sort of living thing while the sun slowly rises in the distance.

Looking back at images of clear skies on a rather ☁️☁️ Saturday. . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #kentucky #ky #adventureky #getoutsideky #discoverkentucky #travelky #explorekentucky #adventure #hiking #getlostinthered #getoutside #rei1440project (at Red River Gorge)

This morning started off on a responsible note. I had intended to spend some time working on a programming assignment for university, but a keyboard malfunction put an end to that! Instead I started going through my old Lightroom catalogue and found this old shot from Dolly Sods. Perhaps there's a reason I'm reviewing old Dolly Sods shots? Or maybe not. Who knows 😉 . . . #dollysods #wilderness #westvirginia #wv #backpacking #hiking #adventure #getoutside #neverstopexploring #rei1440project (at Dolly Sods Wilderness)

It can be easy to get so caught up in the big, epic landscapes that you forget to notice all those little details around you. Don't forget to take some time to notice some of nature's little treasures on your next adventure. . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #getlostinthered #kentucky #ky #hiking #getoutsideky #discoverkentucky #adventureky #travelky #cloudy #adventure (at Red River Gorge)

Saturday's sunrise from Ravens Rock. It was a pretty breathtaking moment to witness the sun slowly rising as a bright orange ball, slowly casting light onto the fog-filled valley below. Thus definitely Falls into one of my top 5 sunrises! . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #getlostinthered #kentucky #ky #travelky #adventureky #discoverkentucky #onlyinkentucky #getoutsideky #onlyinkentucky #kentuckykicksass #fog #sunrise #hiking #hikinglife #adventure #getoutside #neverstopexploring #rei1440project #teamcanon #canon70d #ravensrock (at Red River Gorge)

Another amazing sunset in The Gorge! 📸 shot Friday night just feet from my ⛺️. Needless to say, I had a pretty incredible campsite on Ravens Rock! . . . #redrivergorge #rrg #hikingrrg #kentucky #ky #getlostinthered #adventureky #getoutsideky #travelky #explorekentucky #hiking #adventure #sunset #camping #backpacking #teamcanon #canon70d #ravensrock #rei1440project #theoutbound #neverstopexploring #getoutside #optoutside #dbnf #danielboonenationalforest (at Red River Gorge)
