    Loved watching your hike up to the summit and congradulations it really is an accomplishment. I did this hike in June 2023 and at 65 years I needed to get this off my bucket list before I was too old. Keep hiking.

    I think colors stand out more easily in those conditions. Some of my favorite photos of fall colors came from a hike in the Cohutta Wilderness on a foggy rainy day. The colors just pop in those conditions.
    We haven’t done this one so it’s another added to our list. Thanks for posting! And I’d much rather be going up using a headlamp than descending. ESPECIALLY w/o my hiking stick! Glad y’all arrived safe and didn’t take any spills along the way.

      Definitely my favorite weather condition to film in! That's why we loved the Olympic National Park so much it was just so beautiful!
      Definitely reminds me of the smokies another temper green forest. Hopefully God willing will be heading to Oregon in July hopefully get a lot of good videos from there!
      Going downhill always sucks no matter what kind of condition 🤣

      I love these types of hikes! Probably my favorite really moody ones. I know what you mean it's slow going when you don't live close by! That's one of our goals is to finish all 900. Driving up from Middle Georgia slowly chipping it away lol
      Hope you get to finish it!

    "Alltrails is a liar"... Indeed it is! It really messed with Mister and I on our Palmetto Trail Hike. We thought we should be done at 14.9 and it ended up at 16.7... That extra 1.8 miles is the longest ever cause you think you should be DONE! Well done guys! Especially with the injuries! Thats rough! Haha we noticed when you guys were taking your lunch break Rachel made a face trying to open her drink cap! 😬You pull off the Lumberjack look pretty well! When we came down and did the PMT we hiked through that same Lord of The Rings type atmosphere... it was awesome! Good job, on to the next bucket!

    Great hike. We are slowing working on the peaks of the Adirondacks but that's almost a 6 hour drive so chipping away little at a time. The one that we have almost finished is completing the AT in the state of PA where we live.

I also loved how you highlighted the importance of being prepared for a hike like this. 👍 Did you end up having to hike out in the dark? 😬
