    Congrats and thanks for the tour. My AT hiking partner actually nabbed us a night on the 28th of March due to a cancellation. I'm super excited!!!

      Thank you so much! We really appreciate that! Since it was our anniversary we actually considered not bringing the camera along, but we are so glad we did! It turned out to be a great video! Thanks for watching and commenting!😊

    That’s so incredible you were able to squeeze in on the waitlist for your honeymoon!! I imagine that must’ve been a great feeling to find out and even more so to relive the hike on your special day-so happy for y’all! 🙌🏽

    I'm in Sevier County, TN. I've never been on LeConte but that looks amazing!!!!

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  ปีที่แล้ว

      It was such an amazing experience!! We are hoping to go back soon!😊 If you get the chance to hike it and see it all for yourself we would highly recommend doing it!!

    I hiked and stayed at the lodge in the early 70’s. Looks the same

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow that is awesome! Glad to hear it hasn’t changed much, we hope this place is preserved for generations to come. It was an incredible experience! Thank you for watching and commenting Kim!😊

    Staying at Mt LeConte is on the bucket list, but alas same I never reserve in time...I have made the run to the lodge for the day, ate lunch and run back on several occasions but have yet to stay! Totally jealous 😁

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching Shawn! The stay is worth every penny for sure! You can always jump on the waiting list and just see what happens! We want to take on the “tour de Leconte” challenge one day!😁

    I’m hoping my wife and I are able to spend our 7th anniversary up there! I’ve been once as a child, but my wife has never been. I really enjoyed watching your video. I highly suggest trying to take the Boulevard Trail up if you’re able to go again. A majority of the trail is along a ridge line, offering great views with uphill and downhill hiking opportunities.

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for the kind words Jacob! So glad you enjoyed it. The Boulevard trail sounds awesome, we will plan to do it next time! Thank you for the recommendation! You’ll have to let us know if you get to go for your anniversary!

    How long is the hike to the lodge? Thanks

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Lara! It depends on the trail you take! The one we took in the video is the Alum Cave Trail and it is about 5 miles to the lodge which is the shorter route to the Lodge. Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoyed it!!😊

  • @jamesmyers5284
    @jamesmyers5284 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well that's going on the list! 😂

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      James, you would love it!! It is an incredible spot. When you told us about El Cosmico this definitely came to mind!
      Thanks for watching and commenting!☺️

    Any idea how long it takes to hike down from the Leconte lodge to the alum cave trailhead parking lot?

  • @kariwilson5766
    @kariwilson5766 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is there big drop offs on the trail? Would it be ok to do with a 6 year old and 10 year olds?

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are a few drop offs on the second half of the trail after the large bluffs. They do have cables that run along those parts to hang on to as you walk. As long as is isn’t icy it would probably be ok! We have seen kids make the hike so it is definitely possible! Just keep them close! Let us know if you have any other questions! Thank you for watching!😊

    Is there a way to ride up on horseback or a Llama?

    • @indycarcomplainer2304
      @indycarcomplainer2304 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well, good luck riding a llama.
      The Trillium Gap trail is the only trail up Mt. LeConte that allows horses, but horses are not allowed in camp and are not allowed to stay overnight.

    I'm going to guess that Hayden is a Scorpio and Nikki is a Sagittarius.

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  ปีที่แล้ว

      We don’t know much about Zodiac signs but we just looked ours up and Hayden is actually an Aries and Nikki is a Scorpio!😁

  • @echt114

    No electricity, internet or bathroom in the cabin? Ouch. Of course it's much nicer than a tent and I guess that's the mindset to have. Definitely a beautiful place.

    • @JourneyMore
      @JourneyMore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I mean it is a primitive stay at a spot that you can only hike to so really I wouldn’t expect it to have those things!🤷🏻‍♂️ It is really for the nature and historical aspect and if you go for that, it’s incredible!! Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoyed it!😊
