Trip Reports

While our club newsletter contains all of the details of our favorite trips, we give you a glimpse here. 

Pinhoti Work Trip, February 23, 2008

The day was supposed to be warm but turned out very cold and dreary. However, four of us braved the chill and worked for several hours lopping small vegetation, sawing blow downs across the trail, and sprucing up the smurf blue blazes.

LeConte 2006

What a beautiful trip. The Birmingham weather forecasters were predicting some snow in the Smoky Mountains but who would have guessed snow off and on all weekend and 15 inches on top of Mt. LeConte when we got there! ......

Wind River Range 2005

....... In summary, we had quite a trip with a little bit of everything...easy
days, hard days, good and bad weather, plentiful wildlife ( moose, elk,
golden eagles)...we hated we got separated but "them's the breaks".  The
trip route plan and all travel details were perfect (Thanx Tom and
Catherine!).  A couple of "variables" sure, but the trip was a real
success...ready for next year's!!!!!! 

A Buffalo Float

The Buffalo River in Arkansas has a variety of trips to offer.  A group of us decided to do a leisurely paddle on the Lower portion from Dillard’s Ferry to the White River the first week in June of 2005.  Our goal, easy paddling, lot’s of fun, good food, and time with friends.  We achieved it all.....

The Purge 2005

Hello. My name is Jake. Many of you don’t recognize my name and rightly so. This trip was not only my maiden voyage with the VTA, it was also my first backpacking escapade ever......

 

Mt. LeConte - 2004

I have been in the VTA for several years and have participated in many excursions.  This trip was a legend to me.... ...

 

Cades Code Winter Biking

Sometimes nothing can be more beautiful than the Smoky Mountains in the winter.... ...

Mammoth Lakes

Aug 30:  Six of us flew from Birmingham to Reno.  There we split up and met others to drive to Mammoth Lakes......

 

Port St. Joe

The trip to Port St. Joe is one that I look forward to every year.  The fellowship is fantastic, the cabins are comfortable.......
