You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
Beautiful
God has created such a beautiful world for us to enjoy. Thanks for showing us His wonderful creation - The Great Smoky Mountains!
Yes he has! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Yep lets credit this to God. Created everything good and not responsible for anything bad in the world. What a great job that is
@@chrispharris2768 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" Genesis 1:1. Yes, all the glory goes to the Creator for the beauty of the earth. It is disobedient man that brought sin into the world.
@@karenpanslerlam7760 some people will believe anything they read lol. A compilation of stories and myths shaped to control the masses over many years. And its still working apparently. Unbelievable with todays access to education and information
@@karenpanslerlam7760 anybody can quote garbage from a book
I grew up in Gatlinburg and went to high school there during the late 1960’s. Such a wonderland of natural beauty. Me and several buddies hiked to Mt. LeConte during the fall on numerous occasions. We would work at the lodge on Saturday and Sunday, washing dishes, making up rooms, etc. for our lodging and meals. Just to be in the natural beauty made it worth the strenuous hike. I’ll never forget the sunrise over the cliff tops. I also took folks on horseback up to the lodge as a mountain guide during high school. One day we got a late start for a round trip and it was pitch dark about halfway back to the barn. I simply gave my horse his head and he got us home. I’m very familiar with all these spots mentioned and recommend you go visit if you can. Much different nowadays with tones of commercial development in Gatlinburg which for me ruins it but I understand, it’s the tourist business.
Such great memories you have to cherish! Once you are in the park, you can still feel like you are the only one on some of those hikes still!
Thank you for the excellent look at some of my favorite spots in the Smoky Mountains.
Really appreciate this feedback, thank you!!

Nice video!!! Good memories of visiting Smokey mountains.

The Great Smoky Mountains is our favorite place to be. The thing is we have gone the so many times over the past 25yrs that we tend to just do all of our same old favorites. You showed even me some things I didn't know about and I have seen and most a good many of these. You also did a wonderful job of showing of our beautiful mountains and what we have to offer. Thanks so much.
Im so glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful to you! Thank You for checking it out and commenting on it for us! We have a whole Smoky Mountains playlist with more in depth footage of those stops if you want to check them out! Appreciate your kind feedback as well!
Loved this video. The Great Smokey Mountains is one of our favorite places to visit! Our last visit was two weeks before the devastating fire of 2016. We want to return as soon as this wave of the pandemic passes.
So glad you enjoyed it Judy! Hope you get back there to visit soon!!
Fantastic video of one of my favorite vacation destinations. Great job of editing too. Thanks for posting.
Hey thanks for that kind feedback! We are heading back there soon!
Love your video as always! Gorgeous scenery
Thank You so much! Have you been to GSMNP yet?
Beautiful place.
We definitely saw why this NP is so heavily visited!
Oh man this is such a great video!! Thankyou for sharing. Can't wait to go back to GA and hit on these trails.
TY so much! Hope you get out there soon!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! About to check out your other videos now, thanks you!
So glad it was helpful!!
Enjoyed your video. Heading up there for Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for sharing your experience..
Use to vacation there with family back in the 70s and 80s. Some of the best memories of my childhood ❤ Great Job 👍
Great we could help relive some memories! Thank You for checking it out for us!!
Enjoyed your video so much! Thank you for sharing.
I hope to travel to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the fall or early spring and it helps me plan my trip.
So glad it was helpful to you! You will love it there! Fall would be beautiful! Let us know which stops you make it too!!
That was amazing!!! Thank you!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Truly beautiful video. My family and I really enjoyed a trip to the park and the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area this past July.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the feedback! Yes we love that area now!!
HAHA. Love that you kept the clip of the guy falling down the stairs at 00:36 . LOL. Loved it!
-Andrew
Wasn't that great lol
We were down in GSMNP this past April. Stayed in a cabin in Pigeon Forge and loved it. Clingmans Dome was amazing. You brought up a great point.... only .5 miles on the trail but it is a very steep incline. The view up there is breath taking. We also loved the south entrance to the park near Cherokee.
Yes Clingmans was a tough short hike right! So glad you got enjoy the sights there! Thanks for checking out our channel!!
Great video. I have been to all of those places except Spruce Flats Falls. I had never even heard of that one before this video.
You will love Spruce Flats falls!! We did a separate video on Spruce Flats falls if you want to check it out to see the whole hike!!
Thanks for sharing your video. I love the Smoky Mtns. Been going there for 50 years. Can't do any hiking so I really enjoyed your hikes. I've been to several of the stops you made. Wish I could hike to. Mt. LeConte via the Alum Bluff Trail.
Thanks again for sharing.
Thank You Nancy! We just loved the views from Alum Bluff Cave! We will get up to Mt. LeConte next time up there!! Glad you could enjoy them thru our video!! We have fallen in love with the Smoky Mountains!!
Hiked half of the trails in GSMNP it is beautiful and a jewel when the leaves change in the fall!
We would love to go there in mid October ourselves!!
Thanks for your Smokey Moutain National Park TH-cam !
So glad you enjoyed it!!
This is a fabulous video! Thanks for sharing.
Wow Thank You for that kind feedback!!
Great video was there this weekend record-breaking visitors very crowded.
What trails did you hike?
I like the pace, the limited music, and your narrative. Very helpful in my planning for our upcoming trip. Thanks!
We so appreciate this feedback, thank you so much!!!!
I am from the Smokies area and have spend a lot of time in the park. Love your video bonus points for finding Spruce Flat Falls. Thank you for encouraging people to get out of the car.
Thank You so much for this feedback!! We really appreciate it!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I throughly enjoyed your filming. So much scenery with just the right amount of audio. Thank you for sharing
Thank You for that feedback!!
Thank you for your video that showed so much of the Park. So many other videos of this type spend so much time depicting the person(s) doing the filming that the actual subjects of the video seem secondary. We have visited GSMNP many times, but you did mention a couple of sites we have never visited. On your next trip there, you should consider visiting the Elkmont “ghost town”, which has a fascinating history.
Thank You so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it!! Yes we will put Elkmont on our to do list when we return!!!
Alum Cave too Mt LeConte is the best hike is best, but I love all those hikes 👍🏻💖
Yes we want to do that leg of it next time too!! Thanks for checking it out and commenting for us!!
I loved your coverage of the Smokey Mountains! Beautiful visually and the music was so calming. I can’t wait for my visit!
Thank You so much!!
Thank you 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it!
We enjoyed The Smokies several time years ago. Thanks for the memories. Cades Coves was my favorite. We also enjoyed Abrams Falls in Cades Cove.
Glad you enjoyed it! We didn't have time for Abrams Falls this time, but it's definitely on our list when we return!!
Careful
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO. I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK AGAIN !!
We are headed back up there in the Fall ourselves! Hope you get to go back soon!! Thanks for checking it out for us!
You guys did a great job, thanks
So glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this video! You very thoroughly covered the great spots to see, and even the music was enjoyable. My favorite was the bear sighting, I was hoping you would see one, and he was a beautiful one! I haven’t been there since I was young, and this really makes me want to go there! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it!!
@@CampTravelExplore - is there an elevator a the Dome, for wheelchair, walker & crutches users?
Back in the good ole' days . Done a lot of backpacking in the park, saw the wild side.
So great to have those memories!!
Wow absolutely beautiful. Fantastic video. 👍
Thank You so much, we really appreciate that feedback!!
Excellent tour and video. We’ve been there many, many times and agree with all of your favorites. Your filming skills are great, and very professional Great Job!
We really appreciate your feedback, thank you!!
Planning my honeymoon for the 25th of February through march 4th. I’ll be in eastern TN for 3-4 days! Coming down from Wisconsin with my soon-to-be wife who’s never left Wisconsin or upper Michigan before! Gonna be a blast. Thanks for the great video highlighting stuff to see.
What a great trip it will be!! So much to do and see!!! Congrats to you all!!
Just a great job on this video, Well done!!!! We visited Gatlinburg & The Smokey Mountains two years in a row 2019 & 2020. Beautiful place! God's Country! Thanks for sharing with us.
We really appreciate your feedback, Thank You!! We fell in love with GSMNP! We are trying to go back to see it covered in snow next!
I love the Smokies so much. We take a yearly trip to Maggie Valley, NC (about 15 miles from Cherokee) and the beauty of the mountains still amazes me every time. The Rockies are unparalleled in height and scale, but I’d prefer the lush Appalachians any day.
We love it up there and are trying to return every fall now! Thanks for checking it out for us!!
...we're so excited - heading there next week...
Oh enjoy your time, let us know what hikes you ended up doing! Have a blast!!
And....... WAS IT AWESOME?!?! Hope it was a great trip! 😊 🏔
LOL at the on-screen disclaimer at the beginning! Great production as always Tom & Cindy! Beautiful cinematography as we've come to expect from CTE.
I thought I responded to this, then I noticed it didnt post. Always thankful when you check ours out! Keep helping me lol! Thanks Marc!!
@@CampTravelExplore you know it, working together has improved both of our channels immensely.
you might be giving us too much credit, but we are grateful for your continued help!!
We just hiked the Alum Cave trail and it was fantastic, a work out for sure but awesome vuews.
Isn't that such a great trail?
Enjoyed your video very much......it's simple clear without any b.s.........keep up your good job.
Hey thanks for that feedback, we really appreciate it!!
This video is one of the best and very informative i enjoyed it thank you! 😍
Really appreciate this feed back!!
I have been going there for over 40 years. Great video. Look forward to checking other videos of specific hikes. Almost too old to do them any more. It will be great to join you on your hikes. Alum cave trip brings back memories. In 1995 my car almost got broken into at that hikes parking area. We got back from hike just in time to scare off the thieves. They tore up all 4 corners of the trunk and the lock mech and tail lights of my Taurus and were only seconds away from gaining access to the trunk.
Glad you enjoyed it, sorry to hear about the car story. Loved the Alum cave trail though!! Thanks for checking it out for us!!
@@CampTravelExplore You think you are out of the big city and out in the semi wild and away from crime. Last year during our fall foliage trip down there my brother looked it up and we were surprised to find that the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg areas are actually high crime areas. Sickening. Saddening.
You saw a lot in 3 days. I love the Smokys
We sure did! We have some individual videos of some of those stops if you want to check those out too, thanks for watching for us!!
Splendid filming and background music
Thank You so much for your kind feedback!
The bear encounter was amazing! Awesome footage.
Yeah he was much bigger than we were expecting!! That Roaring Fork area is great for bear sightings!!
great video we are going there next week thanks for the great work you did putting this together
So glad you enjoyed it, hope we were helpful to your trip! Let us know what your favorite stop ends up being!!
Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Amo lugares assim 🤩🤩
Thanks for checking it out
Excellent video! You gave us some great tips for our trip to the smokies this week!
So great, let us know which ones you end up hitting!!
@@CampTravelExplore We ended up hiking the Alum Cave Trail first - amazing! The next day we did Grotto Falls (loved this one as well) & then Laurel Falls, which was super busy. We drove the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail twice & hiked around there as well. It was a wonderful trip!
GREAT VIDEO!! MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
Thank You so much, so glad you enjoyed it!!
Was literally at spruce falls a week ago love it. Only a mile each way.
We loved that waterfall and the hike was great!!
Well done. I passed through the Smokies on my AT thru hike. I headed southbound through the park but got off trail for a trip to Gatlinburg. I spent my birthday in town.
I'll be heading back up there this month to have a regular tourist trip with my wife. Thanks for outlining some stops for us to think about.
I so want to do the AT thru the park sometime!! Good for you and thanks for checking out our channel!!
Really informative!! 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations. God it's Good. Amazing wonderfull Park. Amazing yeah.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Love the Smokey mountains!!
I want to buy land there someday
@@CampTravelExplore Yeah, me too. Hope you succeed with that!! ...cheers!!
TY
Tks for sharing about sway, won’t be doing the Sky Bridge😉
That bridge really does freak you out a bit, especially if its a little windy that day lol!
Enjoyed your video very much, thanks.
Thank You so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it!!
Loved the video and music. Going in 2 weeks from now
That is so great! Enjoy and let us know what your favorite stops were!
Very helpful video, thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it! Let us know if we can answer any questions about planning!
Great and thank you
So glad you enjoyed it!!
The river and falls were a bit slim at that time of year. You’ll have to try to come back in the spring time. After the snow melts from the peaks, and with all the rain we get in the spring, the falls are gushing that time of year. They’re really impressive. Plus you get the added bonus of seeing the wildflowers.
Yes would love to see the falls in springtime!!!
Excellent. We are going to book a trip
You will love it, one of our favorite places!!
Spectacular and magnificent sceneries . Thank you Sir for this memorable video. Though I can't come there in person your video has been a wonderful thing to me. I was waiting for you to tell some historical stories or Westerns made in such a mountainous forestry ,rivers, waterfall,birds one grizzly . Beautiful country. Thanks again Sir.India.
Great feedback, will definitely incorporate more stories in the videos!
Really nice video work and editing. Thanks for putting this out there.
Thank You so much for your kind feedback!!
