Thanks for showing us what the hike looks like. Was the hike down as bad as the hike going up? Congratulations on reaching the summit.
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
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!
Hellooo from Gatlinburg! Thanks for saying hi and Subscribing if you've done so. Yes, we definitely become lucky!!
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.
Hi! Thanks for saying Hello and Subscribing if you've done so...Where are you from?
I cannot believe you went. Thanks for sharing. I need to get fit.
@@2ubetty hey!!! I greatly Appreciate you saying hi and Subscribing if you've done so..I did this when I was 100 pounds heavier too ! Where are you from?
Sean you can conquer anything you want! 😊
Thank you so much
Oh Sean, you got so sunburned!! Kinda late this time, but if you try it again, take a wider brimmed hat and use aloe vera gel to help cool and heal the burn.
Thank you so much
Hey sean i hope ur having a awesome evening much love
Thank you...hope you're doing well sir!!
Thank you so much for this video. It's give me a glimpse of the trail to mount laconte. I'm in sunny Florida and hope to hike it one day
Thank you so much!!! Share please if you're able to..I hope you do this!!
Thank you so much for taking us with you.
I appreciate you!
Thanks!
OHhh thank you so much!!!
You earned it. At least a cup of coffee with it 🎉
Did this back in Oct. 2017 but only the halfway point (Cave Bluffs) and back. It would've been dark had I went the full way up. It was beautiful regardless.
It was tough wasn't it?? Thank you for saying hi and Subscribing!! I appreciate you
That's what I'm talking about, great video! 👍
Thank you so much!!
Way to go Sean on the hike. Looks so pretty up there.
Thank you so much
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.
Well, I greatly appreciate it!!! There's people who aren't able to come visit and I want to show them what's here ..thank you so much
Way to go ! 💪
Thank you so much
Great video beautiful views
Thank you so much
Loved watching ❤❤❤ was a good video !!!!
Thank you so much
Great video!
No matter how many times I watch the Mt. LaConte hike, the views are alive every time. Thanks for reminding us..😊
Yes sir!!! Thank you for saying that
I forgot how HOT ❤ Sabrina is ! 😊 she could get me hiking following her with 2 busted knees & broke legs...😂
Good hike!! Loved the video!!❤
Thank you so much!!
Sean. Be so proud ! I could not do it at 48. And I’m In shape too. I’m so proud of you ! You are such a gentleman to give her that flower 🌺. ❤❤❤❤ awww 🥰
Well thank you!! I greatly appreciate it dear!! I didn't think anything of the flower ..lol
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.
Absolutely!!!
I enjoyed this video so much! I could never do that hike so thanks for taking us along with you!
I greatly appreciate it
You're closing in on 6,000 followers!!!
I'm trying!! Lol. Thank you so much
that is relly cool to see, my question is do you take bear stray on hikes like that with you?
I didn't, BUT I highly recommend it..lol.
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.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome, Sean. The view is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.😎😎
Thank you so much guys!!! I greatly appreciate it...Stay safe in WV🙏⛰️
This is exactly why I look forward to your videos!!!
Thank you so much
You are such a gentleman ❤ to give the lovely lady a flower (found on the ground, of course) for her hair.🪷🪻🌺
Awwww
Congratulations Sean. Thank you for taking us along. I would never be able to make it all the way with my health condition.
MINIFAN77, ME TOO! I USED TO DO THIS IN MY YOUTH, BUT MY OLD KNEES WILL NOT LET ME DO IT ANYMORE! LOL! BUT, WE HAD OUR TIMES.....
My knees were shot on the way back. I was in tears at times but I made it ...so I understand completely! Thank you so much
Gotta be in the top 5 of your video's! TY!
Ahhhh, thank you!!!!
That is so awesome! Thank you for the Beautiful video. You rock
Always...I appreciate you !!
How much of that trail is scary cliff side? 😂 I'm worried about that the most.
Nooo, it's just a small part of the hike
Beautiful view! So peaceful no motorcycle noise up there, right. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed!!
Such a beautiful hike! Very impressive that you hiked it! You did awesome!
I greatly appreciate it
I would have been puking and coughing my head off, and dreading the upcoming leg cramps during the night . Hats off to you Sean. On the up side you did have an extremely Beautiful hiking partner. Ps I sent you a message on messenger
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!
Thank you so much!!!
@@TheGatlinburgHussey you're welcome!
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!
Thank you so much!!
Wow! Huss-Man ... WOW!!! Beautiful hike, one which I have yet to hike. Great video! Your "friend" ... she would be a great motivator for anyone! Thank you so much for taking us along. The views you provided are breathtaking!
Thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate it

Thank you so much!!
Breathtaking hike my friend, views are phenomenal here! Absolutely breathtaking!
I greatly appreciate it
Thank you very much for making it possible to experience this. It's not somewhere I could get to with my Rollator. I watched this on the TV screen...Wow! Thanks again, Sean...well done my friend . 👍🤗
Ahh, you're so welcome!! That's why I do this because so many aren't able to visit, let alone hike ...
So proud of you Sean! Well done my friend and I'm looking forward to more smokies hikes from you in the future! 💪🏻
Thank you so much!!! I greatly appreciate it
Sweet Jesus.. I would have been done, done, done after those steps 😮😅🥵 God bless you Sean & Sabrina! Beautiful trail & views 🩵

Proud of you Sean! I will admit that I never could have done it! Congratulations!
Thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate it
Wow what a view and that hike was no joke. Awesome job
Thank you!!
Amazing hike! It's next on my list to go for my 70th birthday this year! If not sooner. It is a hard hike, but it's so worth it. Congratulations!! Love it.
Thank you so much
So awesome! You should try to do this every weekend or something.
When you recover....have Sabrina take you to The Jump Off & surprise you with Charlie's Bunion! :) Red Squirrel = Mountain Boomer, like the pines/fir trees up there!
Sean, me and the hubby have watched this video 3 times already! You did a great job and had a beautiful motivator! Sabrina is absolutely gorgeous! I’m so happy that you did this. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but you made it look like it was. We enjoyed this video so much! Thank you both for taking us along on your backs and look forward to the next one now that you have a hiking partner!😊❤

Thank you so much!!
Congratulations! Beautiful scenery.
Thank you so much
Congrats Sean! Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you so much
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.
Wow...thank you so much
I've always wanted to do that hike. Too lazy but I'm not dead yet!
You've got this
So proud of you! I could never do that. So glad you took us on your adventure! Stay safe hiking 🥾
Ahh, thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate it
Love it Sean! Congratulations on your successful hike! I’m glad you two didn’t get rained on! What beautiful views Love! ❤
Thank you so much!!
congratulation Sean, that was an amazing video so proud of you wish I could hike that someday. But I know that will never be so thank you for the beautiful video and your friend. 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!!!!
I had no idea those cabins were up there and I’ve been going to the Smokies since I was a little kid . lol
Thank you so much!!!
I didn't know you could still film.
Yes 😊
The "click" campaign is in full force.❤
I told Donny, Sean is gonna hike Mt.Leconte, woohoo you did it, great job, it is hard on your breathing going up and hard on your knees going down a mountain, maybe the Appalachian Trail is in your future vlogs
Sabrina is beautiful and a great hiker, she rivals the SmokyMountainHiker hiking up there like it's nothing, and obviously she is an inspiration for you to get you out there
Omg!!! Thank you so much!!! That's so sweet!!!!!
I greatly appreciate it!!!
WOW,,, Sabrina is beautiful !! I had a girlfriend from N. Y. That was a Sabrina...
I told Sean the same thing the other day - she's marriage material!
I'm very fortunate to have her as a friend!
I would marry her too !! 😂
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.. 😂
Ahhh, wow!!!
I just…. This was weird. Leconte is my fav hike and y’all made me vomit.
How so?
