Our favorite photos of September.

Wait...what happened to September?!  Compared to the last 8 months, it seems we've been a bit lazy.  But, we have been having fun exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest...doing our longest one-day hike yet (17.4 miles!) October is peak season for fall leaves here in Asheville, NC — we look forward to sharing lots of color with you next month!

Mississippi River -Memphis, TN. 

Graceland, Trophy House. 

Graceland TV Room.  That monkey is just so weird!

Shining Rock Wilderness

Middle Prong Wilderness. We are not in the desert anymore!

Most hikes are at about 5,000ft...lots of wildflowers to be found!

We didn't realize Sept is  butterfly season here! They have been everywhere!

Wendy's Brother.  He took us on our first backcountry camping trip in 2010..and miraculously hasn't yet tired of being our guide to all things outdoors!
