Hiking Charlies Bunion on the Appalachian Trail | Smoky Mountains Best Hikes
Recorded: November 2020
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! Here's the next video in our series: th-cam.com/video/FCRjVtTB1Ig/w-d-xo.html. Join us on a beautiful hike on the Laurel Falls trail and also to the top of Chimney Tops!
That looks so beautiful!
Charlie's Bunion has always been a favorite hike of ours! If we're passing through and we have the time, we definitely love this one. There's a lot to this trail! 😊
I absolutely love your videos..and we are headed to the smokies for this trail in October..can't wait.
Woohoo! Thank you so much! We're excited for your trip to the Smokies!
You guys 🎸
Thank you so much for the love Peter! We'd love to go back here and hike Charlie's Bunion again sometime. It's high on our list of favorites in SMNP. 😊
Again, thank you for your video. 50 yrs ago, my best friend, and wife, made the trip to the bunion. She lost her battle to pancreatic 9+ months ago ,but we so enjoyed watching videos like yours. We made many hikes in the smokies and I recently made my 46th trip to g'burg.
Wow! Charlie's Bunion and Smoky Mountain National Park must have looked so different back then. It sounds like you guys had a lifetime of beautiful adventures. Sending you a lot of love and thank you so much for sharing Phil. ❤️❤️❤️
We were just at the Smokies and climb the Clingmans dome. I love the view but most of all the fir pine aroma. It smell so good!
Oh wow! We would love to be back there hiking in SMNP. I bet the fresh fir trees smell so good! We're in Florida right now but the memory of the fir trees is so nice to think back on. Enjoy the Smokies and thanks for watching! 💓
Love your videos! What are you shooting with?
Thanks for the question Marissa! 😊 For this video we used our GoPro Hero Black 8 and our cell phones but we've upgraded since to a Sony and the newest models of GoPros. We're so happy you're loving our videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy New Year!!!! Thanks for another wonderful video! The hikes make me think of where I grew up with a forest behind the house, a bird sanctuary super close by (we also had pumpkin patches, corn fields, raspberries, blueberries, ponds, lakes - it was heaven!)!!!! May all of our adventures be amazing in 2021!!!!
Thank you so much Freeman! Happy New Year to you too! That sounds like a beautiful area you grew up again. We wish you many wonderful adventures in 2021. 💕😊🎉
Thank you for the video. Love the AT.
So glad you enjoyed it! The AT is so beautiful. We'd love to hike the whole thing one day! :)
Love the Appalachian Trail - Great video!
Thanks so much! It would be so awesome to hike the whole Appalachian Trail one day. That would be quite the adventure! 😊
@@PSAdventures So true!
Another great hike is in Cosby, outside of Gatlinburg, to Mt. Cammerer to the old fire tower. SPECTACULAR views!! Happy Trails!
We've always wanted to hike Mt. Cammerer but haven't gotten around to it yet. Sometime soon I'm sure! Thanks for the suggestion!
Very nice video. We attempted this trail last year, but had to turn around due to severe ice and we lacked micro spikes. You’ve cemented our determination to finish it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you for the sweet comment! We're so happy to have inspired you to finish this hike! 😄 Must have been super cold on your hike. It's such a cool spot to hang out for a bit - at the bunion! Wishing you all the best!
Just did Charlie’s bunion last week. By far the best hiking trail yet.
Charlie's Bunion is such a cool trail! It's a little strenuous at points but we love it for the views and being among all the beautiful foliage. That's awesome that you got to experience it. Thanks for watching!
Hello, the place looks comfy and the area seems fun to explore.
At first I thought you were talking about the bunion! 😆 I don't think we'd put "bunion" and comfy in the same sentence. Haha! But it was definitely fun to explore!
Nice job, adding this to the possibility list for upcoming Smokies trip in March! Thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed. Cheers! 🍻
That's awesome Reno Hiker! We hope you enjoy it! It's one of our favorites!
Would you guys recommend wearing a half size bigger boot when on hikes then your normal size
Absolutely. Hiking shoes sometimes run a bit small anyway. This way, you can put on some nice thick socks that will help cushion your feet, and then you'll have extra space around your toes that will especially help on downhills.
This was very helpful for me as I am planning a GSMNP trip soon. Thank you!
That's awesome Katie! We're so happy it helped. Any time we get a chance we love going back to the Smokies. There's so many hikes we haven't done yet. Let us know if you find any awesome hikes we might not know about! 😊
Don't know if it was planned, but an ad for a bunion foot wrap popped up during this video. LOL on that one. Enjoyed the video...y'all stay safe !
Haha! That's funny getting an ad like that. No definitely not planned. So happy you enjoyed George! 😊
We live near there, C's Bunion is one of my husband's favorite hikes. FYI the bears are hibernating in the winter. The trap is to catch wild hogs/boars, a menace to the park.
Charlies Bunion is definitely one of our favorites! Thanks so much for solving that mystery! We walked by it a couple times and the only thing we could think of course was for the bears but to catch hogs would make sense. Enjoy the park for us! Maybe we'll see you on trail when we visit the park again. 😊
Heading to the Smokies next week? Can you compare this hike to LeConte? Easier hike? Better hike? Better views? Thanks!
Hi! There's such great hiking in the Smokies! Here's our LeConte video in case you're interested: th-cam.com/video/5kDlTN9meEU/w-d-xo.html. 😊 While Charlies Bunion is special with great views, LeConte is probably our favorite hike in all of the Smokies. The elevation is fun and makes for great views. Plus there's some neat destinations. Alum cave is along the way, and it's cool to check out the rental cabins at the top of LeConte. Enjoy your trip!
My wife and I are going up there soon. About to do bullhead to leconte. Your videos are awesome you guys
That's awesome Dave! Tell us how you like Bullhead to LeConte! We haven't tried that trail yet but would love to try it when we go back sometime. Enjoy! 😊
Is that trail as scary for heights as it looks? Because the views are great but it looks like if you were to trip on a rock or branch and fall that’s the end of you! I would love to do this trail, but I’m chicken!!
It's a wonderful hike! If you like mountain hiking, you'd love this trail. The short ridge line hike at the end is beautiful - at some points you can see nice views on both sides. The huge rock at the end that looks like a "bunion" is definitely the highlight of the trail. It probably is as sketchy and scary in person as it looks on our video. But you don't have to climb that part. You could hike the whole trail and then enjoy the views from a "safer" viewpoint. It's actually kind of cool to watch people climb that bunion. If you try, let us know how you like it! ❤️
@@PSAdventures I’m very seriously considering it for our fall trip. The views you captured were incredible!!
@@tiffanyhanson3701 Thank you so much! We try to capture it as close to how we experience it. 😊
Hey wait is that boulevard trail?
The trail out to Charlie's Bunion is actually mostly on the Appalachian Trail and starts at Newfound Gap parking lot. It's a great trail with some some cool features to see.
I'm gonna guess that Paul is a Capricorn and Sarah is an Aries.
Nope! That was a good guess though! 😁 🌌
@@PSAdventures what are your actual signs?
Paul is Aquarius and Sarah is Cancer. We don't really follow the signs but it's fun to see what those say sometimes! Are you surprised?? 😊
@@PSAdventures a little bit
Where is it that you stayed? Those suits look amazing. I want to go
Hi Candy! We stayed at Carr's Cottages in Gatlinburg. We just love hiking in the Smokies and while there are a lot of options of places to stay in Gatlinburg, we always stay here. You can see pictures of each of their suites and you can also book directly on their website: www.carrscottages.com. Enjoy!
What was the motel called where you stayed?
Hi Joe! It was Carr's Cottages. They have a variety of places to stay at good prices. Some are more like cottages or cabins. If you're planning a trip, hope you enjoy!!
