- In this video, we did a short hike on the Twin Creeks trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and hiked to the place called the House of Fairies which is a hidden gem in the Park. We also hiked on a new trail called Painter Creek Trail.
Here’s more information on the history of the Twin Creeks area:

Perfect content, a big hug from my friend Antonio.
This is on our list. Great video.
Binge watching today.
On my list of hikes for the Fall.
Another interesting hike. Thanks for sharing.
Watch out that's Jason in disguise from Camp crystal lake
Thanks for the video. We are beginner hikers and will be in this area in October. We are gonna check out this trail for sure.
Love your videos...you are too cute!!
This is one of the coolest trail things I've seen in a while. Awesome hike!
I’m glad you like it! I think it’s pretty cool 😎
Fall has always been my favorite time of year I love hiking in the fall camping in the fall just a wonderful time a year
It’s my favorite time of year too!!
What a unique structure, thanks for sharing. It was very informative!
I’m glad you like it! I enjoy knowing the history myself. 🙂
Very nice!! We did the Roaring Fork tour last year, but I love the route you used for the hike!! Thanks for sharing!! Also loved the information about the "house of fairies"!!
I just had to add that info to the video - pretty interesting! If you get a chance you should check it out on your next visit.
Enjoyed the video. I am from east Tn but now live in Nashville. This makes me miss home. Recommend also visiting the Appalachian Trail. I hiked a segment between I-26 TN/NC line back to Erwin. About 30 miles I guess. But any part of that is beautiful. Here in Nashville, come visit Radnor lake. Nice short hike. Also, Bays Mountain lake trail in Kingsport. You would love it. Enjoy summer!!
That was a nice little hike 😊 thanks for taking me along ☮️
Hi from Brazil! Awesome trail!!
Amazing💯❤!
Very good!!!!!
Awesome video, well done.
It is a damn shame seeing those trees burnt, and even sadder to know it was from a human who started the blaze. Nature is beautiful and should be treated with love and respect. I too love anything pumpkin! Have you ever had pumpkin fudge? It is so good! Great video, God bless you!
Another fun video! I love your attitude toward life, you're such an inspiration! I went hiking yesterday for the first time in ages! I'm sore today, but it was worth it! We went to Tallulah Gorge, you should give it a try sometime, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
That is wonderful! (not being sore but going hiking lol) I’d love to know more about that area! Where is it located?
@@HikingwithBraids Tallulah Gorge is just off Hwy 441 in Georgia. It's in the corner where NC, SC and GA all meet. It's like the southern end of the Smokey Mountains. gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge There is a lot of good hiking in that area.
I’ll check it out! Thank you!
good video we had to use this video to find it
Really enjoyed the video!
Thank you!! ☺️
We would give anything if we lived closer! Keep up the vids it helps🤪
I do feel very fortunate to live so close to the Smokies. Thank you and I will!
You need to do a 3 stooges pull a shrub back and let it spring back on whoever you choose
That "Bob was here" sign was NOT about me! I think the guy with glasses you passed right after your shot of your camera set up was Steve Dickenson (?) who is in the FB hiking groups and a 900-miler. Enjoyed the video, as always.
Oh sure Bob lol!! 😂 Oh wow I thought he looked familiar!! We kinda both looked at each other like we knew one another but sometimes I’m never sure and I am afraid to say anything lol - I’m glad you liked them ☺️
You dont want to piss off the fairies they can really ruin your day just ask Rusty . I always ask who would name their kid that name ???
Another great video....question, how long did it take you to do all the trails in the park?....would love to do that...
It officially took me 3 years, but I only decided to complete all the trails 2 years ago. It’s definitely doable!! Here’s the website to learn more: 900miler.smhclub.org/
@@HikingwithBraids that's quite an accomplishment..that's a ton of mileage, we've got about 800 to go...lol....great rescourses thanks.....
The great part is there’s no time limit ☺️
I was there yesterday and couldn't find it . A park worker had no clue when I asked about fairy house . Can some draw a map on how to get there . I read follow the creek up about 40 yards while creek splits into 3 section. I went through the double door barn up about 50 or 60 yards and found a few old walls.
It’s to the left of the barn past the fence and up the hill
I’ve been waiting to go to the fairy house . Is the trail in all trails?
Unfortunately I don’t think it is. It’s an off-trail hike located behind the Twin Creeks Science Center. If you search on Facebook you can find the exact directions on how to get there.
Thank you. Will do.
Roxy, I've been eyeing this myself, and found some good info on Facebook. Just search fairy house smoky mountains on Facebook. You'll see a post by someone named Melissa and the first comment has info. :)
Very cool
Good video but that is a spring house
Its pronounced “vor - he’s” havnt you seen friday the 13th?
I've been vacationing in the Smokies since I was a little girl and I have seen a few bears in my day but when I was younger we did the more touristy things....& now I wanna hike.
Really tired of the city and I want nothing more than a quiet vacation in the mountains. This trail sounds right up my alley 😏 but I'm kinda worried.
The rule of my life is kind of like, "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong as long as I'm there". 😬
I grew up in the country and I know how to not be stupid and make lots of noise... but I feel a little discouraged with the recent bear activity in the last few years.
I don't own any guns or bear spray.
I would never shoot a bear anyway, but I am thinking about bear spray although I've heard it doesn't always stop them. Do you think this is a necessity and if so is it terribly expensive? 🤔
still got a few weeks before I'll be up in the mountains but I'm positive they'll still be fattening up & causing mischief during that time 🐻🐻🐻
(Also... does anyone know why the hell this is the only bear emoji...I need answers) 😌
PPS....I can't believe that deer let you get so close 🍃🍂🍃🍂 that was awesome.
To give you a little perspective, I have hiked 1,000 of miles in the Smokies and I have seen probably around 30 bears. Every single bear was running away in some fashion. You will hear about bears huffing and what is known as "bluff charging" but it is incredibly rare for a bear to ever "attack" another person. In fact, I'm not sure if there's ever been an actual "attack" - a couple of times a bear has been found near a body of a person but bears are scavengers so that could be why. My point being is you can carry bear spray to help you feel calmer but in 5 years I've never ever needed to use it. I think it is better to proceed on the side of caution and carry something "just in case" but be sure you know how to use it. If it's windy, the spray is pretty much useless. Better to just hike singing or talking occasionally so you don't surprise a bear BUT mainly if you do see one just slowly back up without turning around and if the bears seems to try to approach you, just wave your arms in the air and make loud strong noises to show you are "larger" and scarier. I hope this helps but don't ever let the fear of bears be a reason not to hike. NEVER approach a bear for a photo and always try to create distance but having respect for them goes a lot further than fear. :-) . Here's a link to more info on bear safety by the NP: www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/nature/black-bears.htm
@@HikingwithBraids oh yeah that's why I said I'm from the country and I would never ever approach a bear the way some of these idiots do.
There have been a few attacks in the Smoky Mountains and to be honest with you...1 lady who probably shouldn't be alive considering what she went through.
She was actually on the show " I shouldn't be alive" and a bear did kill her young daughter. .... there are a few other cases but I could hardly believe it either. 😔
I've actually seen a few bears over the years as well.
I only noticed the mom-to-be protectively behind her Cubs in any instances.
I still remember when I was very young and my first time in the Smoky Mountains... when the Bears were captively held in the bottom of those concrete pits. SMH
I do think you've given me some insight to whether or not I should be scared.... I really do want to enjoy the natural part of these majestic mountains. My favorite place on Earth 😊
@@atlguera564 That wasn't in the Great Smoky Mountains NP
@@HikingwithBraids it was in Chilhowee Mountain.... the one I'm speaking of.
A mother and her two children were mauled but the little girl did not survive.
As a matter of fact I'm not able to find the old videos but they're still articles on this incident, as its baffling as
To why the other people in the trail did not help her.
That's not the only report of attacks from bears in the Smoky Mountains.
I understand there's records of bears attacking whenever they are provoked, but allegedly this was an unprovoked attack.
I'm not here to argue with you or anything...I was just trying to ask a question.
I know you aren't and I appreciate the further details.
We really love The Bud Ogle trail, it’s so pretty. We aren’t as young and agile as you so we need a hiking stick . Do you ever use one?
I used to use them more but I don’t mainly to help strengthen my legs. I do use trekking poles for trails with water crossings.
