    Thanks for the shoutout Rachel. My trekking poles have saved me many times. The rocky and complicated trails don't give me trouble its the easy ones. I never hike with my hands in my pockets. I'm glad you found a solution to cold hands. 👍

    • @NickandRachel

      No problem! Yeah we've been keeping him warmers in our packs from now on! Thanks for watching 😀

      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yeah I'm pretty sure they would! I know I would have had a blast doing something like that when I was a kid!

  • @NicoleHikesalot
    @NicoleHikesalot 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow that's an amazing looking hike some really good scrambling. That's a good observation about the hands in the pocket by senior hiker. He's so sweet. What a pay off when you made it up there. You guys did great 👍.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was a beautiful hike! And yeah he was completely right and made us think about what we were doing lol thanks for watching!

  • @TheAdventureCloset

    That looks like loads of fun climbing those boulders. Nice video you two!

    • @NickandRachel

      It definitely was a lot of fun! Check it out if you're ever in the park just wear some good shoes! Thanks 😁

    Hands Free Hiking! Definitely don't want to fall with your hands in your pockets because that is a great way to loose some teeth! Grandfather Mountain was one of my favorite videos you guys did! This trail still looks pretty difficult! Beautiful view! Save your knees for the future cause you will definitely need them! Great video!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah he definitely made us think about the hands in the pockets! Grandfather Mountain was definitely one of our favorites as well! Along with Mount LeConte.
      Hopefully we're going to do rainbow Falls trail to Mount LaConte this week.
      Thanks for checking it out!

    Hi, Rachel, I have a tip that you may find useful for cold hands. If you haven't already, try mittens, they are much warmer than gloves due to the fact your fingers are mostly bone and tendon. There is almost no muscle in fingers to generate heat so keeping them all together in mittens rather than separating them in gloves keeps them from losing heat.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a great tip! Thank you! I definitely should switch over. I basically use my gloves as mittens anyway cause I curl my fingers down inside.

  • @ThisHomeschoolingAdventure
    @ThisHomeschoolingAdventure 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is a really rocky trail!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah you definitely need some good hiking shoes for this one!

  • @DMSAdventures
    @DMSAdventures 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hilarious! Don't use your face for stopping... it hurts! Ya i had to practically carry rugged mountain momma once cause she twisted her ankle real bad on a trail! RMSister would love those rock scrambles! That looked like a fun hike... except for the cold! Great job y'all!!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I would imagine that don't feel too good 😂 it's never fun getting an injury like that while you're out hiking but unfortunately it does happen sometimes we just got to be extra careful! Oh yeah I'm pretty sure they would love it! Thanks 👍

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yeah it was a good one! If you're ever in North Carolina do grandfather Mountain it was way better lots of ropes and ladders to get to the top! The video on that one as well Hope you get the chance to check it out one day 🙂

  • @waterfallmadman
    @waterfallmadman 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah don’t twist your ankle. I’ve done that before. That hike looked a bit tough but pretty cool.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haven't twisted an ankle on a hike before but really tweaked my knee before! That wasn't fun it was on a snowy Mountain. This was a really fun hike!

  • @SantosChronicles
    @SantosChronicles 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You really have created a cool look and format for your channel. I wonder how many total steps you guys have gotten while filming TH-cam videos. This is not a beginner trail. But the view on the hike is so good. LOL, hand in the pocket videos, I noticed. Didn’t realize it was for safety. Cool you filmed the tough part. Totally worth the view!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! That would definitely be interesting to know. It was a really cool trail. Sometimes we use the all trails app when we remember but sometimes we don't even have service we can't track them all.
      Hiking on the Ridgeline was pretty fun!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You'll like it it's really fun! No we planned on doing Old rag while we were there but we ran out of time. Definitely going to check it out next time!

  • @SeniorHiker77
    @SeniorHiker77 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow Rachel thanks for the shout out. I wasn't being critical but might be my age. A fall without breaking it with my hands would be devastating. I didn't want you to get hurt. 👌👍

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No problem! Oh yeah we know 🙂 we appreciate the pointers never really thought about it before you said something.

    Glad you had your hands free for climbing. Some of that looked pretty rough. Great job on the videos! Stay safe! Jane in SC❤️🙏🏻

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it was a bad habit had to break it! It was kind of rough in some spots. We had a great time doing that hike it was really fun! Thanks 😊

  • @truenewengland
    @truenewengland 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love rock scrambles like those, but imagine they would be quite difficult even just a little slick!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did a slick one one time in Georgia and it was really scary almost slid into the river below! It was called sliding Rock trail at Tallulah gorge State Park and you got to have a permit to do that trail.
      The Rock scrambles are really fun though!

  • @The_Ginge
    @The_Ginge 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bearfence is definitely a different animal when it's not snow and ice covered! My recent hike up it was very slow going since I had to be mindful of pretty much every step. It was challenging, but the views from top were gorgeous. It's a definite must do hike. Thanks for sharing!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah you definitely got to be careful in those kind of elements! Really starting to enjoy these Rock scramble trails! Hopefully we can get back up there and do Old rag soon!

    Did they really have to go and paint every 24 inches like damn!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing when we were on the trail. I guess maybe it's a liability issue when it comes to dangerous trails like that. I can't get really foggy up there.

  • @adventuring_with_MK
    @adventuring_with_MK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That looks like it was a beautiful hike, I wish I had parks near me that looked like that… and those rock features were crazy!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was a beautiful hike can't wait to go back one day and experience it in a different season! It's nearly 10 hours away from where we live. We have some beautiful areas in Georgia but no national parks. So I feel ya lol

  • @DnSAdventures
    @DnSAdventures 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That looks like a great hike! Will definitely have to check that out next time we pass through the area! Haven't done any true rock scrambling like that for quite a while. Challenging but epic. :) Thanks for sharing guys! - Shane

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah this trail was really fun! Just wear some good shoes and watch your step!
      If you're looking for even more challenging Rock scrambling hike check out grandfather Mountain! We made a video there a while back and it was our favorite hikes of last year!
      Thanks for watching!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Always good to know your skill level so you don't overdo it for sure. There's mountains I want to hike but I know I just can't right now need to work my way up to them!
      Glad you enjoyed this episode 😊 Really did have a great view at the top!

  • @WALTERZOLNA
    @WALTERZOLNA 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I actually did this hike with my brother on a cold, windy, rainy, and foggy day last october. Its nice to actually see some of the views this time lol. I thought the hike was pretty intense personally especially considering the weather we had. It starts off not to bad, but definitely has some steep drop offs and one or two technical sections. Great video guys, appreciate you!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that would have been pretty intense doing it with slippery rocks! The views were incredible up there!
      We did grandfather Mountain and really high winds we were getting blown around up there lol. Now that was a really fun hike!
      Thanks for watching 😀
