Andrew Burns
BackpackingMy name is Andrew Burns. I was born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. My love for the outdoors started at a very young age. I enjoy backcountry camping trips with friends, fly fishing and photographing and documenting this beautiful area that I call home. I also volunteer some of my time to help clean up the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the surrounding National Forests in North Carolina.
