Love this trail!! Glad you’re with someone!! I hate it when people go alone hiking!! But, at least, when you were on the AT, you were with someone a lot! I so enjoyed watching you on that AT!! I love watching other people hike😅!! I’m too lazy and scared!! Girl, you were my hero scarring that bear off !!!!!!
Ahh, most memorable hike, many years ago, Yes Magical & Mystical for sure, Got to be the best trail in the Smokies, GoodDescriptions, Awesome is right, ty, ty.
I hiked in the GSMNP in 1983. I most likely won't be going again, so it's a treat to go along with you. I still like to visit the area. Thanks for the video!
Great video!!! We’re on our way right now to hike in the Smokies. We’re taking a feed days off and I can’t wait to hike this trail!!! I’ll let you know how it goes!!!
Beautiful trails!!! I have quit smoking and I would love to start walking. My granddaughter enjoys hiking (14), I would love to train myself to get through Ramsey cascades trails.
I hiked this trail twice over 10 years ago now. I have an extreme fear and heights and bridges and crossing that footbridge at 6:58 was not easy for me. It wasn't bad crossing going up because i feel like my right side is my dominate side and i was using my right hand to hold the rail. But coming back was a different story. I hiked by myself the first time and i was so scared to cross it coming back. I had to sit down and contemplate it for a good 10-20 minutes. How am i going to get home and i'm stuck with fear. My life was flashing before my eyes lol. The thought crossed my mind if i could go around the bridge and walk across the water. But i eventually fought the fear and did it. I really wish it had hand rails on both sides.
Some of those bridges can be scary. Some of them have no railing at all. One time I completely froze on a railless bridge and couldn’t cross. I completely understand!
Excellent look at this trail. Hiked it in 2009 and it was great to see it in such detail in this video. One of those trails I'll definitely hike again someday. Thanks for taking us along.
Another great video. So nice to see happy bubbly folks, even with all the effort on the steep rocky parts! Just hated that you had to run back and get your GoPro... Hike on Friend
Awesome trail video Gretchen! I found this trail on the AllTrails app and it was great to see your detailed vid. Beautiful trail....can't wait to hike it next summer when we vacation out east. Loved your narratives/ trail details, and joyful n real hiking style. Ty for sharing and happy hiking ♡
Another great video.....even sans braids! :-) Getting the notification that "HikingwithBraids" has uploaded a new video always puts a smile on my face!
Hello Gretchen, thank you for another informative and entertaining video. Despite the precipitation you had some great footage. If you are still considering a trip to the California Sierras this year, you will need an ice axe, crampons, snowshoes and a sherpa guide. The higher elevations are getting dumped on again. Day time temperatures are beginning to warm. The water falls at Yosemite will be awesome this year. Ramsey Falls is incredibly beautiful. You be safe out there and have fun. 🤗
Thank you for showing the tougher section of this trail. No one seems to show it in their videos. Guess they are too busy hiking it to hold a camera. :) Very helpful research for our attempt possibly next week. Now I know what to expect. Such a beautiful trail!
Love seeing so much of the trail. Just wondering; is it hard sometimes to know which way to go or is it easy to stay on trail? I would love to do this trail but it looks like I may get lost.
This trail is pretty easy to follow. The only sort that may seem difficult is the last half mile with all the rocks but it’s not too bad. It’s well maintained by the park.
Sooo I got caught in a thunderstorm on the way back and I was hiking solo. 4 miles on the slippery rocks and I was the only one left on the trail. Stuff of nightmares but I made it lol
Great vid!! Really enjoyed it. Would love to come to the SM's and hike. Hope to this summer???? Would be great if I could tag along with you like these ladies did. I'm not on FB so can't contact you. Thanks for sharing.
I know y’all have had flooding out there and tons of rain, then snow and ice with temps down into single digits. I see you uploaded May 6th but out of curiosity, how recently is this? I’m hitting the smokies spring break and the forecast seems to be good temp wise. Just trying to feel it out. Love your channel btw!

Did this hike on Monday! It was awesome but boy was it hard!
The Great Smoky Mountains are so beautiful. Wish I lived closer. Thank you for another beautiful video.

Awesome scenery! And the trail looks amazing too.
It’s a beautiful trail!
I'm planning to go on this trail this weekend.
Brought back some fond memories....probably 30+ years since I have been on that trail!
I’m glad it made you smile ☺️
I’m loving all your hikes! I’m so glad I found your channel.
Aw thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoy them! ☺️

Thank you! I hiked it a couple of years ago and I had already forgotten what a bunch of the trail looked like lol.

If you’re ever coming to the Smokies, reach out! :)
How many hours did you walk to be there?
Lovely video! I love the background information narration and the music :)
Another great video. So nice to see happy bubbly folks, even with all the effort on the steep rocky parts!

Yay! I’m first! I absolutely love your channel! You’ve caused me to become obsessed with the Smokies!!!!
PS I live outside of Memphis and would love to hike with you!
Yay!! I love that I’ve helped you love the Smokies too! you’re definitely not too far away!! ☺️
I’ve been obsessed with the Smokies for years and I don’t hike!! Not bragging about that!😟
Beautifully done! This brought back memories of hiking this trail many years ago:) Thank you so much for the work you put into this!
Another great video.....even sans braids! :-) Getting the notification that "HikingwithBraids" has uploaded a new video always puts a smile on my face!
And THiS puts a smile on my face!! Thank you! 🥰

Thanks Ronald! I bet Yosemite is beautiful!!
Nice video! 💪 What’s wrong with carving names into a tree?

We hiked this on May 2. Hopefully the weather will hold out for you! 🤞 and thank you! 🥰
Not drinking that was for the best, really.
I know right? Bud light. Bleh.
