Once upon a time, I dreamed of a place in the mountains, where I could frolic to my heart’s content…but then I did the Canyon Climbers challenge and realized that I could waste away believing these things are fairytales, or be an independent human and actually go do them! (More on that here.) Which brings us to my next adventure: Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Read MoreI signed up to do Canyon Climbers a whole year ago, you guys. 365+ days. And you want to know how long it took me to complete once I finally set my mind to it?

Spoiler alert: a lot of those things include mountains.
