    Ahhhhh! Oh my gosh, those colors were STUNNING! Mt. Cammerer might be my favorite hike. Thank you for taking us along, as I won't get a chance to get up there this Fall! Also...note to self: hike Lower Mt. Cammerer in the Fall! I hiked it in Winter and it was kind of meh. Those colors were gorgeous! Love your AT beanie! I just started section hiking the AT. I completed GA in a week a few weeks ago! 😃

    It's like a breath of Fresh Fall Air watching this video. Finally a video that shows the trails like they are. Then the surrounding landscape in all of it glory. Plus no music so a person can enjoy the sounds of the trail as the individual hikes along. A very welcome break for a person in Central Floridian still dealing with the aftermath of a Hurricane.

    What a stunning video Braids. The colors are just beautiful and it’s obvious how much you enjoyed it. I noticed the 2022 AT thru hiker tag in the hut. There must be SOBOs in that area right now. Lovely video and thanks for sharing. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

    Great hike. Fall is the best time to hike. If you ever have a couple of weeks of free time in the fall, you might want to consider doing the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota. If you could time it to start about one week before the peak in fall colors you could have 2 weeks of amazing fall color hiking. 🍁🍂 😎👍

    Wow you made it in 25 minutes. Took us 10 hours..lol. we hit the trail at 1:40 am to catch the sunrise. ( posted a vid) About 2 miles in I (Doug) learned that I need to be in much better shape before we do it again. Low Gap is no joke

    • @HikingwithBraids
      @HikingwithBraids  2 роки тому +1

      Lol it's one of those hikes that doesn't seem that bad initially but definitely takes longer to hike than one would think. Catching the sunrise is pretty awesome though :)

    How long did it take to do this hike? Did u start early in the morning? I live in TN and would like to do this, but I need to plan it accordingly. 16.2 miles is quite a hike for me!

    • @HikingwithBraids
      @HikingwithBraids  2 роки тому +1

      It took me 9 hours including a 45 min break - fair warning it is a tough hike going up but Lower Mt Cammerer is a nice trail with fairly smooth terrain.
