She Hikes Tennessee (and loves it!)
Show Notes

When Jess Lancaster was growing up in northwest Indiana, her family took a vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains, and Jess was smitten! She moved to Nashville in 2009 to finish her undergraduate degree, and started hiking near home and in the Cumberland Plateau region of eastern Tennessee. In 2013, she started the shehikestn.com, and has been promoting hiking in Tennessee ever since. As she states on her website:
"I’m based in Nashville and determined to prove that middle Tennessee is just as much of an 'outdoor state' as Oregon, California or Colorado. There’s so much beauty and diversity in nature right here in the South. My wish is that this blog is a jumping off point for your outdoor explorations. I’ll give you a basic overview and information about the hike and then it’s up to you to experience what you want. I want you to be able to be an active participant in your own hiking."

You can find details on the hikes mentioned in the podcast at  shehikestn.com.
