Mountains to the West, ocean to the East...NC is beautiful!
Yes it is. Can't wait to go back
Beautiful but SC is just as fucking beautiful
Plus, GA has Tybee and Savannah plus Atlanta
I live a few hours away, within eyeshot, and am ashamed to have never visited Chimney Rock. Thanks for the tour, it inspired to get up there asap!
Well now, there you go!
Chimney Rock is beautiful and used to offer an amazing Clifftops Trail Hike that was literally along the highest clifftop and took you to the top of Hickory Nut Falls. Unfortunately, it has been closed. We love to hike Chimney Rock in the winter when it snows. It's even more beautiful! Thank you for the wonderful videos. I always enjoy your travel, music and commentary!
Thank you Angela. Glad you liked it
Life on the Go with Angela
Do you know why it has been closed
We’re headed here now! Nervous and excited at the same time 😂
This is my hometown. Thank you for visiting
Robert, Thanks for taking all those steps for us. I was tired just watching. Peace.
LOL thanks
I can't imagine a better way to end a nice day here than by watching once again a great video made by that marvellous chap called Roberto Morales.Thanks a lot for sharing buddy,highly appreciated as always.Greetings from your ardent fan William in Bruges,Belgium
Thank you William
What a magnificent place.
I was there last week. The Exclamation Trail is now open. If you're not in that good of shape like I am at the moment I would take the elevator to Chimney Rock. Then from there hike the Exclamation Point Trail. On the way back down don't take the elevator so you didn't miss anything hiking back to the gift shop.
Beautiful landscapes of the mountains and hicking! Thank you Robert for sharing with us!
Wow. That’s was quite the hike. I’m impressed ❤
Fun fact, SCCA used to have a race called the Chimney Rock Hill Climb. I pit crewed for a guy who ran in in the early 90's which was one of the last races to be held. The race ran from 1956 to 1995 I think, and there has been some talk in bringing it back but I think the lawyers and Insurance carriers think different. The start line was at the meadows and ran all the way to the top where the parking is for the entrance to "the rock". It was a timed event so there was no "wheel to wheel racing, just solo time trials....different classes of cars competed for the best time in their class.
Imagine doing that drive at speed! Drivers would run off and stop on top of the trees below...if they were lucky. Obviously they do not do that anymore....
I think there are videos on YT if you are curious....
Cool. I would have never imagined that. I'll look it up
My family had been visiting this place in 2010 what a beautiful park.
AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Nice video. I used to climb all over Chimney Rock as a small child.
Cool, thanks!

Great Video and a good work out! I felt tired just watching you climb!
Thank you. Good exercise for sure
Get high off the scenery lol
Hoping to go to cherokke too
Thanks for sharing
Awesome video 👍🏼 Robert !!! I have never been to Chimney Rock that’s so cool !!! I have a phobia I’m kinda scared of heights lol !!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I was an awesome place... so much to do
Along with Chimney Rock being one of the sites for Last Of The Mohicans, Lake Lure is one of the sites for Dirty Dancing.
I would need a drink after driving on that road....Thanks Robert
Yes, I did, when we arrived in Charlotte :-)
Love all of your videos!
Thank you
Beautiful North Carolina.
Beutiful
Beautiful hike. 😊👍❤️
Yes it was. Thank you!
Hi Robert! You made it to Chimney Rock, NC.!
That was a great video. One of your best! Awesome views!
We did not do the trails as my sister has COPD and gets out of breath easily. I would have loved to get up there but I am not sure I could have made it either at age 85.
Had ice cream at the gem mining place on the river. Yum! On the deck overlooking the rocky river.
At Lake Lure we walked across the bridge of flowers. Lovely!
Then took the boat tour on the lake which cost $13 and was well worth it. Very relaxing and the pilot is a good narrator.
Exploring the rocks on the river running right behind the shops in the village is a must do.
Dinner at the restaurant on Rte 9 overlooking the lake with great food!
Yes you will have to come back again to Chimney Rock. One of the most amazing places in North Carolina.
Yes, I have to go back and do all that. I will stay at the campground next time. It seems like there is so much to do in that area
Insurance covered all my rv repairs and more, even a week at a hotel. Pays to get full timer's insurance. You would never know it ever happened.
Thanks for your video. A fan, John
You're welcome
Just subscribed you're a frickin hoot!
Very beautiful park and you tell a fantastic story. The best park video I have seen. We live in Shelby, NC, about an hour drive down, towards Charlotte. We camped the a couple times a year when we had our camper, and by tent also. The shop at the level of the rock caught fire a while, that’s the renovation reason. There is an elevator carved inside the solid rock, that goes from the lower lot up to and exits inside the shop at the top. Even if you don’t need it, ride it because it’s a marvel on its own. Again, loved the video and narrative. Hope you make it back.
Thank you, glad you liked it, and yes I would love to go back one of these days and stay at the campground
Thanks for the video. Just what I was looking for. We are going there this weekend on our way to Cherokee. Our first trip in our 29ft trailer. Hopefully we'll be able to make it fine.
Were there any restrictions because of COVID-19? BF and I are interested in going but are concerned about too close of proximity to other people
@@danielw.7705 Yes, but only a few. Only one person at a time in the information center. No trolley service to the upper parking lot. That upper parking lot would make the hike less strenuous for the elderly or if someone is taking kids. Everything else was open. Enjoy.
awesome video
Very enjoyable Robert! I love to hear you say North Carolina! lol.. :)
Thanks! Did I say it wrong?
No! It's your wonderful accent! :)
Nice video 🙂
Y déjeme decirle q también usted es muy buen chófer ...usted maneja muy bien ...lo felicito por eso también. ..
Oh, gracias
Great video Robert :)
Thank you
Wow...ser! I am amazed that you took the "strenuous" trail going down....I could hear a lot of the commenting going down...also loved the SUBWAY -- but don't think I could do that.
Not so strenuous going down but I was exhausted by then
Lovely place ;)
Yes it is
Great video Robert.
+Mark Finley Thank you
Love your camera mount
thanks Robert for the preview.
now i won't go in my 32' Class C, too narrow, too many steps.
may rent a car and go. i'll be back in NC mid Nov.
Yes, that road was a little scary. Next time I'll leave the trailer down at the Hickory Nut Falls campground
Me encanto to video, pot in minuto, crei que eras Antinio Banderas por tu voz y el asento! Gracias
Ha, si me han dicho que se parece la voz
Hello Robert from Portland ,Oregon.Columbia River Gorge.
Nice dressed guys had probably been to a wedding at the Lake Lure Inn across the road from the lake.
I just posted a video where I visited Whitewater State Park. The trail I went on is Chimney Rock in St. Charles, Minnesota. I have lived in NC before. I am looking forward to watching this.
good luck to you
Thank you
Hey great channel ☺ Keep it up!
Thank you!
Hi Robert, wanted to say I adore your videos and your calming narrating. Especially loved the Chimney Rock video as I’m a native NC girl. But wanted to tell you that the end credits have it listed as Chimney Rock, SC. Could you let people know that it’s in the beautiful NORTH Carolina mountains not the South Carolina ones, 😂. A bit of rivalry exists between the states lol. Thanks brother.
We just been there two weeks ago.
Great vid Robert and nice music,u sounded a little grouchy maybe cuz u missed breakfast.
Hmmm, maybe, thank you!
nice vedeo
Videos are getting closer to our meet up. lol
Coming up next :-)
You didn't go to the Top? Exclamation Point is amazing! Too bad the Cliff Trail is closed. Last of the Mohicans finally was filmed on that trail.
Home🥰
I thought Chimney Rock is in North Carolina but maybe I was thinking of Blowing Rock.
Very enjoyable. You guys really got a workout! What was the temp when you were hiking? Happy travels 😎
Thanks! It wasn't too bad in the shade. Probably mid 80s
I live 5 miles from here
Hello.
Whats the camera you used to record the view while driving ? The one that shows the view for the rear of your car
GoPro Hero 3 on this video. I've since upgraded to Hero 7.
Your funny 😎😎😎😎
Bat Cave , North Carolina... Batman's home away from home
Have you ever had trouble's with your trailers tires?
+George farnsworth I replaced then recently. They were wearing out unevenly.
🚙🚙😀😀😀
wildlife camera or camera to keep eye on status of bridge
Sandy S
Precisely
Great video why don t we see you eating?
Did you run every stop sign in the video?
Did I?
Yes you did!
Can you hike up and take the elevator back down?
Robert are you argentino o Cubano?
Is that waterfall man made?
Yes dangerous for others when you are driving.
That too
I didn't see any Motorhomes up there
I was the only RV, but they do have that large parking for them if the dare to go
you sound like Antonio Banderas
Can you do a video and thanks also I'm going to the keys
Enjoy the Keys!
Very nice. But you did sound tired lol
Hmmm, maybe I was
Does you wife get scared doing the hikes?
Can you camp there?
There's a campground next to the river
There is Hickory Nut Gorge Campground which is about a mile or 2 northwest from the Entrance to Chimney Rock Campground. Didn't stay there but spoke with the owner who was really nice. There are camp sites on the river that looked really nice but they are kind of close to each other and rather small. If you booked the sites on the river either choose the sites at either end or reserve 2 sites right next to each other. Didn't really check out the other camping sites away from the Broad River.
Traveling Robert is summerdales 8 year old and I'm 9 now
Happy birthday!
It's past my birthday and I'm going to the keys
