Would have liked to have seen this in the summertime when things were greener. Great video however thanks for sharing
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!
It's beautiful there all year round
Just got back from a 4 day trip to the Smoky mountain national forest. Words cannot describe how beautiful it is.
good for you all! What were the favorite stops you did?
The wife and I go to the Smokies every year. We just got back yesterday from an early spring visit. I've got to complement you on your videography and editing. This is a very well done video. Kudos. Keep up the great work!
That's so great and thank you for the kind words!!! We shot some great individual videos from there to that you might enjoy! Thank You for checking out our channel!!
Except for the creepy cult followers in their face diapers, it was an awesome video!
We're going next Wednesday! Never been to Gatlinburg and I am so excited.
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!
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!!
I made a few of these stops this past Feburary. Looks like I need to go back and see more! I believe Clingsman's Dome was closed at that time. The hike to Laurel Falls was a good elevation climb, too. We got there fairly early, and by the time we hiked back down, all the parking spaces were taken.
Yes you need to go back again, heck, I need to go back again lol
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
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!!
Take peek at Little Switzerland right off the parkway. We honeymooned there if the early 60's.
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.
Congratulations. God it's Good. Amazing wonderfull Park. Amazing yeah.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
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!!
This is the most beautiful gorgeous god’s creation ever ever amen 🙏
It is totally! So beautiful there!!
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
I have been to the Smoky Mountains many, many times, and have watched A LOT of you tube videos, but your video is one of THE BEST !
Wow, thank you so much for that feedback, you made my day!! We did a lot of individual videos there if you want to check some of them out!! About 6 total!
Your video is so helpful! My family is planning a trip to The Great Smoky mountain and your video summarize everything that we need to do. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful to you, enjoy your trip there, it is beautiful!!
Thanks for your Smokey Moutain National Park TH-cam !
So glad you enjoyed it!!
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!
Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Terrific video. We visited in 2019 and this brought back great memories and included some spots that we weren't able to see as our time was cut short.
So glad you enjoyed and got relive some moments, hope you get to go back some time soon!
Thank you for the excellent look at some of my favorite spots in the Smoky Mountains.
Really appreciate this feedback, thank you!!
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!!
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!!
One of the best and most useful video for my visit to the Great Smoky.
Oh Thank You for that kind feedback! We really appreciate it!
Best video! Thank you so much!🤩
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!!
...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! 😊 🏔
Wonderful Video! Thanks!
TY so much!
I throughly enjoyed your filming. So much scenery with just the right amount of audio. Thank you for sharing
Thank You for that feedback!!
Enjoyed your video. Heading up there for Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for sharing your experience..
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!
Love the Smokey mountains!!
I want to buy land there someday
@@CampTravelExplore Yeah, me too. Hope you succeed with that!! ...cheers!!
TY
I had to watch this video twice since we're heading there this fall. I'm wondering what time you go to each of the trails, what month you did these trails, and how far you hiked each day? This was a very informative video and gives us lots of options for our trip.
Excellent. We are going to book a trip
You will love it, one of our favorite places!!
Taking a trip in September and this was very helpful
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!
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!
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!!
that was a BIG BEAR! good video ill hit many of these next weekend. Im certainly staying away from Gatlinburg, been there done that
He was a biggin!! Just love it there and most bears we saw were pretty small.
Back in the good ole' days . Done a lot of backpacking in the park, saw the wild side.
So great to have those memories!!
I am fairly new to Chattanooga area and am planning a trip to the Smoky's. Yeah this video gave me some great advice and I will use it. Can't wait to do this.
So glad we could help!
i live in florida so all your florida videos have been really helpful for me, Im actually gong to the smokies next week so these videos were great to see too!! thanks so much for all the great content you put out!
That's great! Glad it was helpful! Thank You for supporting the channel!
This is really-well-done, and with high quality video and audio. Super helpful for planning waterfall hikes, hitting visitor centers, and doing other activities that the park, and surrounding area, has to offer.
What time of year did you go? Also, your Amazon link shows that you filmed on a GP H7 - I didn’t realize the quality was that good.
We were there Thanksgiving week! Actually we shoot everything on our channel from an iphone if you can believe it! Currently we have the iphone 12 promax. Thank You for your kind words and supporting the channel!!
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!!!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! About to check out your other videos now, thanks you!
So glad it was helpful!!
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!!
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!
I am always amazed at the amount of water that continues to cascade off of the mountains, down the falls and to the creeks and rivers. I agree that the Rocky Fork Nature Trail is the very best next to Cades Cove.
So many beautiful creeks and rivers there, couldn't get over it! We are heading back in the fall!
It is the "Roaring Fork Nature Trail" .....
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank You so much Sheryl, 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!!
Excellent Video :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank You for the kind feedback!
Great video was there this weekend record-breaking visitors very crowded.
What trails did you hike?
Thank you for these suggestions! We are anxious to check them all out when we visit in June.
So glad it was helpful!! Let us know how you enjoyed it and which stops you got to hit!!
Loved the video!! Thanks for Sharing God Bless You
So glad you enjoyed it and Thank You so much!
I loved you me video . It made me alittle more excited to go in June. Thanks !
So glad it helped you! Enjoy your June trip and let us know how it went!
Nice video!!! Good memories of visiting Smokey mountains.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
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!!
Thank
Thanks for checking it out!
Making the trip next month, Well done! Thank you!
So great!! Let us know hat your favorite stop ends up being!
It's a good list and well done. Cheers to the Smokes!
Thank You so much, appreciate you watching and commenting for us!!
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!!
Im pretty obsessed with mountain ranges and i gotta say the Appalachian/smokies are my 4th fav
Pretty impressive views there!! Thanks for checking it out!!
Curious what your top 3 are! I haven't been far, but I love the smokies too!
We just got back fro hiking the Appalchian trail at Shenandoah National Park, it was incredible on that stretch! We do love the Rockies for sure as well!
@@stephaniewolfe2665 4th Appalachian 3rd huangshan mountains 2nd andes 1st ozarks. of course this will change over time as a i grow but the ozark’s in Missouri are so under rated. If you consider the badlands mountains, they’re probably #5
Alum cave is just about my favorite short hike in the park. I've done it twice the past few years.
Just fell in love with that trail and the views are breathtaking right?
@@CampTravelExplore absolutely! And if you go to my youtube channel, you'll see I posted a 40 second video of my hike there. ;-)
Just checked it out! We wanted to hit Rainbow Falls but just didn't have enough time! Great Stuff!!
@@CampTravelExplore Between the two, I thought Alum Cave hike was a little more scenic, but I loved both of them. We also did the Grotto Falls hike. ;-)
Alum cave was better I think, next we want to go all the way to Mt Laconte!
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!!
GREAT VIDEO!! MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
Thank You so much, so glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video!
Thank You so much!
Thank you for this. We are going back in December. Always have gone during spring/summer, so this will be a new experience. Really appreciate the tips.
So glad it was helpful! We are heading back soon ourselves!!
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!!!
Wow, this was an excellent video. Thank you so much.
Oh so glad you enjoyed it!! Hope you get to visit there sometime soon!
@@CampTravelExplore We are going there 9/7/22 for 7 days. We will be renting a place. I am wondering if its a good idea to rent one cabin for 7 days or to find two different areas in differing parts. Is Blue Ridge, Ga to far to see Nantahla, GSM, and other must see places? Im thinking Cherokee or Sylva might be better but its really confusing. We will stop at Gatlinburg but wont stay long. More into the beauty/serenity of the GSM.
Thank you for your time and dedication.......ATB
Thank You so much for that kind feedback!!
Our favorite area for motorcycle touring. The roads and scenery just fantastic! Great video
I'll bet that it makes for a great ride for sure!! Thanks for checking it out for us!!
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!!!!
This video is one of the best and very informative i enjoyed it thank you! 😍
Really appreciate this feed back!!
Thanks so much for sharing. So beautiful
We can't wait to go back again!! Thank You for checking it out!
Heading there soon. Thank you so much for sharing! We will definitely visit some of the places!
So glad it was helpful to you!! When are you headed there?
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?
Wow absolutely beautiful. Fantastic video. 👍
Thank You so much, we really appreciate that feedback!!
This was a fantastic video. The background music was so relaxing and I appreciate you highlighting the must see stops. I know there are parts of the park that are not pet friendly but I know some are. Do you recall if all these stops are pet friendly? Thank you.
Great video 👍
TY so much!!
Loved the video...we will be in Tennessee a week from Friday and definitely will do the Alum Cave Trail
That is so great! Let us know what you think of it!!
Splendid filming and background music
Thank You so much for your kind feedback!
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!!
Thanks for showing us ❤😇 I was going this week! But decided to go to blue ridge mountains. North Carolina! And now I'm feeling like I don't know witch one to go 😸
You will love it!!
@@CampTravelExplore yess I stayed in the border of north Carolina and Tennessee hiked a bit on alum cave and othe trails 👣 it was amazing
LOL, when my daughter was 4 (day before or after her birthday) we hiked UP to the Alum Cave bluff, 2.3 miles . Round trip 4.6 miles. I was flabbergasted, she never whined or complained once.
So great! Yes it was quite a hike and it was very cold the day we did it, but the views were absolutely stunning!! Thanks for checking it out for us!!
Excellent video. Great video work and commentary, as well as informative.
So appreciate your feedback, thank you so much!!
my wife and myself drove my 63 Dodge Dart Shenandoah Valley last year Blue Ridge Mountains beautiful
So beautiful there!! We are planning our next trip up in October!!
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!!
Amo lugares assim 🤩🤩
Thanks for checking it out
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
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!!
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 nice video! Though I've lived in the mid west most of my life your video makes me want to go see this NP. Your videos on the Florida springs are my favorites. Thank you very much for your hard work and editing.
We really appreciate feedback like this, so thank you very much! We just kayaked Silver Springs so that will be coming out next!! Thank You for supporting the channel!!
Nicely done! Planning to hit the 12 places next week. THANK YOU
That's so great! Enjoy and let us know your favorite stops!!
Enjoyed your video very much......it's simple clear without any b.s.........keep up your good job.

So glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for sharing and what a great trip. It has brighten my day.
That is so great, thank you so much!!
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!
