    I saw a hellbender at the Ravencliff falls, they are amazing to see.
    Those trees are almost as big as the ones in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial forest.
    I use to make a point of hiking that trail every summer.
    It's a beautiful area.
    I lived in the Murphy area as a child.

      That's definitely one of the big reasons why I wanted this particular camera just fell in love with how it looked and other people's videos.
      Will announce that book and it's on video pretty soon It's been out for a while now I just wanted to let it get some traction on Amazon before we announced it here really.
      It was cool though We had a fun time putting it together learned a lot too! We actually ended up making a trail journal as well something that me and Rachel will definitely be using them all of our hikes. It's on Amazon also but we haven't really advertised it yet.

    This was a beautiful hike! We visited this area lastvyear, but we didn't do this hike. Those acorns were really loud! I like the tip of using the cap as a whistle. I really love the bridges over the rivers there. Tbe waterfall is beautiful.
    I did alot of hiking this summer, but my favorite was the 10 mile ( really about 11 mile ) loop hike in Pictured Rocks, Mosquito to Chapel. Also, the Sea Caves Overlook Trail in Apostle Islands.

      We really enjoyed this hike! You should check it out next time you're in the area. I remember learning that trick when I was a little kid lol Never forgot it!
      I think that's what we loved most about the Smokies is all the water and relaxing sounds everywhere It's like an ASMR nature soundtrack lol
      Pictured rocks has been high on our list! If I ever make it up that way we're definitely going to check some of those places out! That seashore looks amazing 😁

    I loved this video, I finally got to do this hike this past August after our fourth planned attempt! It kept getting canceled because of floods, delays in road construction, park closures due to extreme high winds - you name it. I saw where the trail was back open on weekends so we made a special trip up there just to hike it - before something else happened! 😀

    • @NickandRachel

    That was a good survival tip from Nick. It reminded me of some of the different ways we figured out to make loud sounds as kids. That was a good one. Sadly, I couldn't get out very much this summer, but hopefully I'll get in some good trail time this fall & winter. I can relate with what you said about finding new trails. It can be difficult here in NE but part of the fun is planning my next outing. The Smoky Mountains are beautiful. I grew up on TN so I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I remember learning that years ago! Thought it was really cool never forgot it. We were on a trail and we seen these kids whistling a while back and Rachel asked me how are they doing that and then I picked up an acorn and showed her and she thought it was crazy lol
      Yeah I feel you We live in Middle Georgia so we have to plan every trip pretty much. Tennessee has some amazing trails! Would love to move there one day.
      Appreciate you stopping by and commenting! Hope you get out there and find some awesome trails soon!

    Anything tallest or largest are something I like to go to. The Rock Cave was pretty cool. Suppose to snow during Halloween here, so looks so warm in this video.

      There's taller waterfalls in North Carolina and in Tennessee but that one's the biggest within the park boundaries. Definitely something anybody doing hikes in the Smoky Mountains needs to see!
