    Hey there, I'm one of the guys on the Bike talking with your wife and kids last Saturday in Tremont at the bathroom/store area while you were filming. She took my friend and my picture for us. We ride up there every Saturday morning. I just found you all on TH-cam. My wife and I have subscribed. We have so enjoyed your videos and your family. I never knew you all were you tubers. Hope to see you all again somewhere. I told your wife about the hike further up the stream, hope you all enjoyed it. Take care. Gary

      Hi Gary! This is Brie. So nice to meet again here on TH-cam. Thank you so much for subscribing. I’m glad y’all are enjoying our videos. And thank you for the recommendation for the other hike. We are definitely going to do that one next time. I hope you continue to enjoy your biking and maybe we will run into each other again. Take care!

    Another great video. This is one of our favorite hikes. Definitely would rate it moderate, but so worth it.

    Hi there! We currently on our first trip to GSM and just biked Cades Cove on Wednesday after watching your video about that. We are staying in Townsend and looking for a short waterfall hike with kids 7, 9, and 11. Would you recommend this one or is there another you would suggest? We hate crowds and traffic which is why I was looking into this one. Thanks!

      Laurel would be easier, cataract falls even easier & they could become park rangers for the day there - th-cam.com/video/y1jc_AX5n34/w-d-xo.html
      Also Clingman’s dome is amazing on a clear day! 👀👉 th-cam.com/video/8NvTb_Sgfg4/w-d-xo.html
      I hope this helps, thanks Sarah!

    This is Bob H., the retired NYC FIREFIGHTER that is coming down to your neck of the woods in the first week of June. I have 2 questions. Is it worth bringing my fishing pole to these falls. The last question is that I heard in the video that their is a quicker way to get to these falls. If yes, where would I park to get to the falls. My wife is like your wife a little, she would rather find a faster or easier way. If you can answer these questions that would be a great help. You told me months ago you would tell me some good fishing spots. I'm only 2 weeks away from coming maybe you can share a secret or 2. THANKS

    • @AdventureIsOutThere
      @AdventureIsOutThere  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Bob! I wouldn't bring my fishing pole to these falls. The national park is fly fishing only and can be difficult to catch any that might be in a body of water. We never could figure it out, but if you go to the tremont visitors center they should be able to show you were to park and walk up the shorter route. Have a great time Bob!

    • @bobhumphrey5303
      @bobhumphrey5303 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know I can fish in the park with a spinning rod as long as the lure I use has only 1 hook. I just didn't know if that area had enough pools with trout in it. I didn't know if it was worth bringing my pole to Spruce Flat Falls.

    Are you ever scared of the bears? We are headed down in two weeks and I’m most worried about bears.

    • @AdventureIsOutThere
      @AdventureIsOutThere  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No we are not. We have gone to many trails with our kids through the years and have never had an issue. Last year the park saw 14 million visitors & I can only think of one incident at a campground a few months back. Just be smart & keep distance. Keep bear spray on you if it would give you more peace of mind. I hope this helps Diane!
