Threading a 1,200-mile trail through Charlotte

September 9, 2011 JoeMiller Leave a comment
Charlotte's McAlpine Creek Greenway

In the mid-1990s the Triangle’s greenway system wasn’t a system. It was a disjointed connection of asphalt strips scattered hither and yon. If you lived a block or two away from one of these strips, you probably paid it an occasional visit. If you didn’t live within a block or two, you probably had no idea the Triangle even had greenways. read more

GetHiking! Corporate Wellness

Enjoying a fall Sunday afternoon on the trail.
GetHiking! Corporate before hitting the trail at Hanging Rock State Park.

If you’re interested in bringing all the wellness benefits of hiking to your workplace, we can help.

GetHiking! Corporate is an 8-week, employer-sponsored program designed to get employees out of their cubicles and into the woods. What’s the difference between walking a few times around the building at lunchtime and hiking for a couple hours on the weekend? Rather than rushing to get in those laps before you return to your desk, you’ll be challenging mind and body as you move on natural surface with more ups and downs, twists and turns. Rather than focusing on the email you need to send, you’ll be navigating trees and rocks, allowing your brain to shift focus and stress to flow right out of you. In eight short weeks, you’ll be more relaxed, have more stamina, and be more ready than ever to tackle whatever work challenges come your way. read more

GetHiking! Health Benefits

Hiking regularly, or making a hike a part of your regular exercise regimen, can have a dramatic impact on your physical and mental health. It’s something nearly everyone can do, and it’s a lifelong activity, something you can do long after your body has said no to more aggressive outdoor pursuits. read more

  • GetOut! No rain, no reason not to get out March 5, 2021
    As someone pointed out on Facebook earlier this week, this is the first time since November that a seven-day forecast has not included a chance of rain. Further, we’re looking at sunny days with temperatures in the 50s for the weekend, rising into the low 70s by the end of next week. Thus, you are […]
  • Finding spring, making the most of it March 2, 2021
    Remember those two really nice days last week? We spent them doing field research, seeking signs of spring. And we found them. The two spring wildflowers that, to us, signify that spring has sprung: the spring beauty and the trout lily. Both are featured in the accompanying video, shot along the banks of the Eno […]
  • GetHiking! Spring 2021 February 25, 2021
    It’s been a long, cold lonely winter, but spring is nigh and, yes, here comes the sun. Really, there’s probably never been a spring that’s beckoned more for us to get out and embrace the warmth and rebirth of spring. And we’re here to help you make that happen, with our lineup of spring hiking […]
  • GetBackpacking! Spring 2021 February 24, 2021
    We’ve already had a couple of good backpack trips this year, on the Neusiok Trail in the coastal  Croatan National Forest in January, and on the Appalachian Trail in the Pisgah and Cherokee national forests in February. We have two more weekend trips planned, and will be adding longer trips shortly. So far, here’s our […]
  • Our top YouTube channels covering the Southeast February 23, 2021
    Back in the day — in this case, the day being nearly a half century ago — when I was seeking a new adventure, first thing I’d do was head downtown to the Eastern Mountain Sports store in my hometown of Denver and start rifling through the chest of drawers holding Colorado’s topo maps.  The […]
