    Gotta tell you Sean, if I were 82 again, I would take you up on that hike. The views are spectacular. A shame that so many never see that beauty in nature. Congrats on your successful climb.

    Thanks for sharing brother 👍 yet other channels that live in that area quit doing videos in the parkway bowing down to the government and forgetting we have rights to video whatever we choose to 👍 that's what's called freedom. Glad you made it up and back from the trail looks awesome.

    Sean, thank you for taking me along with you on your hike! I'm out of shape and I wouldn't make it ten feet. I don't think I could walk downtown to Ole Red anymore because, of my feet and legs. Absolutely beautiful views and scenery on your hike! Those peanut butter cups looked so yummy! Really enjoyed your video!

    Mount LeConte is the third highest summit in the Smokies at 6,593 feet. Number 1 is Clingman’s Dome at 6,643 (also the highest on the entire AT) and Mount Guyot at 6,621. But LeConte is the most visually impressive, being separate from the main Appalachian ridge line.

    @plumboss9764 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    She's a good 1, type to encourage people forward for there own good, to share the love of it all! That's at least my take and what I try to do. Sometimes you gotta stop and feel the breeze enjoy the view and smell the flowers.

      Hi guys!! It was Worse going down because of the strain on the knees ...whew!!! I had cramps in both legs too but I'm proud of myself for doing this! I still don't know how I did this 100 lbs heavier too lol

  • @gfxman14
    @gfxman14 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Nice hike! Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Smoky's with amazing views on a clear day. However, Mount LeConte is a lot better, and cooler hike for sure! And the Alum Cave route is the best IMO.

    AND HOW I MISS DOING THAT TODAY SEAN. SO GLAD YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE HIKING UP "DIFFICULT" TRAILS. I USED TO BACKPACK AND LIVE IN THE WILDERNESS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS IT WAS SO PEACEFUL AND REWARDING AS MY FRIEND AND I WOULD NEVER SEE A SOUL FOR DAYS IN THE 70'S AND 80'S, IN THE FALL AND WINTER TIME.
    "REJOICE O YOUNG MAN IN THY YOUTH"! LOL!.....LOVE THIS VIDEO SEAN! THANK YOU SIR!

She was really sweet. Also nice of her to go with you. You guys had fun and you showed some fantastic spectacular views. thanks for sharing. That was just an awesome video!!!!

    Alum Cave is truly a beauty! However, it is the easiest of the 6 routes to Mt LeConte, making it also the most crowded. Looks like you hit it at a good, less crowded time!

    Tha last time I did Mt. LaConte, there was a back up of hikers freaked out about a large Timber rattlesnake coiled up rattling in the path. I walked to it, picked it up & moved it off the trail & kepted walking...then they really freaked out.. 😂
