Blacksmithing & Brews Here’s your chance to experience the basics of shaping hot steel with a hammer and anvil in our unforgettable blacksmithing workshop. You’ll fire up the forge with our seasoned educator Mo, who’s been teaching hands-on living history at Earthshine for over sixteen years. He’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you work a piece of rough steel into a one of a kind, hand crafted knife form you can take home. You’ll stoke the coal fire, hammer glowing metal straight from forge, and learn all kinds of history, lore, techniques, and tricks about the craft. After the workshop, you can enjoy a local brew on the front deck of our main lodge overlooking Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can take it easy, soaking up the mountain views while you sip, or work on refining your knife to transform its rugged, fresh-out-of-the-fire look to a smoother, cleaner finish. (We’ll provide the tools!) No experience is needed and all equipment is provided. Ages 13+ are welcome, but you must be at least 21 to be served beer. If you’re under 21, we’ll provide root beer or sparkling water. Each person participating will take home their own wrought iron crude knife form that can be used as a letter opener or simple spreading utensil. Guests need to wear closed-toed shoes for this experience. Note: Class time is Eastern Standard Time.

Join me at Black Balsam Knob for an epic 5ish-mile trail run you will never forget! We'll enjoy commanding 360-degree views from "bald" mountaintops lined with history, wildflowers, and of course - amazing views of that stretch as far as Tennessee, South Carolina, and even Georgia. I take TONS of photos, and I'll send them to you afterward to use as you'd like. Our route can be divided into 2 parts. First, we'll climb up the Art Loeb Trail over Black Balsam Knob, then Tennent Mtn., just above 6,000'. The views are nothing short of epic, and any local runner would agree that the area offers the best views of the sunset and sunrise in the region. The second portion of our loop follows a historic logging path, and is much more gradual and "runnable." Trail running experience is recommended, but we can also tackle this experience at a hiking pace, if running isn't your style. I'll provide water, snacks, and anything else you may need prior, and if you'd like to stick around for a cold beverage afterward - I'll bring a 6-pack of local brews from my friends at UpCountry Brewing. Non-alcoholic options are available as well. All paces, ages, and abilities are welcomed to book, even if you're traveling solo. Please reach out with any questions or date requests, or to inquire about my other running tour experiences I offer through White Dot Adventures.

Love hiking and coffee? You've found the right place. We have over 300 waterfalls around Brevard and searching different trail websites gets confusing to try and pick which one to visit, so I will make it easy, we’ll visit three of my personal favorites along a 3 mile loop. The terrain is mostly flat, gravel trail with one steep section (about 70 yards) that will get your heart pumping, but the views are worth the climb. Here's our plan. 1. We will meet at The Hooker Falls Parking Area in DuPont State Forest. We'll hike to Hooker Falls first. Easy, breezy hike. 2. Near the second waterfall, Triple Falls, we will break for coffee. You will explore the area around falls and I will collect water from the waterfall and use a backpacking water filtration system - the same type of system I used while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Great water makes for even better coffee. You'll taste and see. I will have ALL the coffee brewing supplies in my backpack including my own line of coffee roasted with local roaster, Pisgah Coffee Roasters. 3. We'll sit and enjoy some time in nature before hiking on to High Falls, a stunning end to our adventure. It’s my favorite waterfall in the area. Along the way, I'm also happy to answer any and all questions you may have about long distance backpacking or about what to do in the Brevard area. I LOVE this town too much! Other things to note If you finish the coffee hike and feel like the experience exceeded your expectations, tipping is appreciated but not expected or required. Sometimes it rains, and we can hike in light rain. But if it is storming, fret not! I have a backup plan. We can seek shelter in the pavilion near the falls
