@@ShowMeAnAdventureAppreciate the support guys ❤ Hope you learned something new about the park! It's meant for kids but we wrote it in a way that anybody could learn something hopefully 😅
Stunning
It was a beautiful day for a hike ❤️
@@NickandRachel enjoy the adventure
Awesome glad you enjoy them! Appreciate your support 😊
Too bad about all the smoke. Pretty crazy. beautiful waterfall though.
Yeah that was pretty crazy seeing all of it that far down! It actually made its way to Georgia a few days later.
That waterfall is really pretty glad we finally went and checked it out 😄
Thank you for this excellent and informative video, I had no idea all of those steps were put in so recently!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found some value in it! Yeah they're not too old I'm glad that they actually put some stairs there because it made it accessible for a lot more people! If you enjoyed this video definitely check out the rest of our content we make videos like this all over the southeast. Appreciate you watching!
@@NickandRachel I just subscribed, looking forward to seeing what other videos you have about the southeast! If you have not been to bankhead National Forest or Cane Creek Canyon in northwestern Alabama, I highly, highly recommend them both! 🤓🏞️
We've heard a lot about bankhead national Forest! Lots of waterfalls apparently! We've done some stuff in Alabama but not much last time we went we were in the little River canyon. We'll definitely have to check those places out though!
But we appreciate your support!
I’m new to your channel. Thank you so much guys, I appreciate so much for this video. Last time I been to smoky mountains I’m not did anything. This video is really helpful. If you can please upload more videos around the smokys. Take care.!
Awesome glad you enjoyed it! You should definitely check out our channel We have a ton of content in the Great Smoky Mountains 😁
Nice
Oh yeah it was a good time 😀 Appreciate you watching ❤️
Just got back a few days ago - beautiful fall foliage there. I’ve seen deer bears and wild turkeys
Amazing place to be during the fall 🍁 sounds like you had an awesome trip!
Great video!! Mexican food after hiking is the best!! 🙌❤️
Thank you Glad you enjoyed it! Mexican food after anything is the best 😂
@@NickandRachel Agreed!! 😊
Love the video of your trek up via Rainbow Falls. We’ve never hiked this route (having visited the lodges via Alum Cave Bluff 4 times) so I liked being able to see this route through your video. Y’all did a great job! The last time we hiked Alum Cave Trail up to the lodges was last September and it rained all the way up. We got a respite at Alum Cave but that was it until we started our descent. I haven’t made a video of this hike yet but I need to. I subscribed and will check out some of your other videos.
Hey appreciate you checking out the video! Our first time was alum cave Trail and it rained on us most of the way up also lol We did that video a couple of years ago.
Highly recommend doing rainbow Falls it's awesome! Beautiful route! Appreciate you watching and subscribing 😀
I love this one!! And you made a book?!?! Heading to Amazon now!!
We had a good time making this one 😁 We got three more routes to do up to the top of LeConte! Probably try to do another one sometime in the fall when it's cooler lol
We appreciate the support 😁 We started working on it sometime in February and got done with it sometime in July. Just now getting around to launching it lol
Wow so beautiful and amazing
It is beautiful ❤ Hope you watch the whole video So you can experience what we did!
What is it sticking out of Rachel's pack? Is that a camera tripod or a foldable chair?
It was a carrying case with two trekking poles in it just in case we needed them on the way back down.
I have hiked rainbow Falls trails several time twenty something years ago. It was full of small rocks which made walking difficult. It looks like a much better hiking trail now. I enjoyed my virtual hike with you today. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have subscribed and look forward to your future videos. Marie from SC.
They have definitely done a lot of Trail repair over the years! I'm glad our virtual tour could show you what it looks like today and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Appreciate you watching , commenting and subscribing ❤️ we have tons of videos like this on our channel if you want to check those out and we also post weekly! Looking forward to seeing you around a comments 🙂
Just found you guys today, I'm on board.....thanks...
@@jimmienonya8912 Awesome! Welcome to our little hiker community 😁
Awesome and so beautiful
It was a really good time 😁 The waterfall and the cabin at the top are really beautiful ❤️
Ww were hoping to see two things on our trip to smoky mountains: bear and salamanders. No bears but three different kinds of salamanders.
Smoky mountains National Park is the salamander capital of the world more salamanders in that area than anywhere else! Glad you got to see a few! Love looking for them. You can find a lot off trail if you roll over some of the dead logs really easy they're always hiding under
Greetings! Thank you for taking us on your hike - my husband and I have logged around 30 stays in the lodge and a couple of day hikes up this magnificent mountain! Our hiking days are pretty much over, so I’m thankful for the memories and the chance to enjoy the trail vicariously with you guys. Happy hiking!
That's very impressive! We still got a two more routes to take up so we can complete them. Would love to stay up there one day!
I'm glad our hike can bring back some good memories for you ❤️ hopefully one day will have an impressive log to look back on as well 😃
Appreciate you watching and commenting! We upload videos like this weekly so hope to see you around in the comments 🙂
Just wanted to ask how the trail is coming back diwn from the falls? Some say its very difficult. We were wondering your opinion. We have done Alum to Mt LeConte so just wanted to go to the falls. Love your videos.
I wouldn't say it's any harder than The trip back down from Alum cave. So it's just over 5 mi round trip to the waterfall and back to the parking lot and 1,600 ft in elevation.
If you have problems with your knees I would just bring some walking sticks and maybe a knee brace Get there early and just take it easy It's a beautiful hike 😁
We're glad you enjoy the videos and we appreciate you watching and commenting it really helps the channel out ❤️
@NickandRachel thank you so much. I definitely used my poles down from LeConte..so will definitely use them on Rainbow. I am ordering your book for our 9 yr old grandson who also loves hiking and the GSMNP. I'm a retired Elementary teacher and always love finding new books for him.
@@paulettebrochet2011 You're welcome 😊
Those hiking poles definitely save a lot of wear and tear going down hills!
Well thank you we really appreciate that Hope he enjoys the book 😊 Really appreciate your support!
ha! yall was up there the day i come back down to georgia. looked a bit emptier than i would have imagined. surprised i aint been out that way in the year ish i done spent up yonderway😅
Nice! 😂 What did you do in Georgia? I think it was a Thursday morning so it wasn't too bad! We had a good time 😁
We got three more routes we got to do so we can see we've knocked them all out!
@@NickandRachel i live in Georgia lol. 3 more routes in Mount leconte?
Awesome video, guys! Can't wait to check out your book 😊
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful hike. I love rainbow falls and ypu did a great job talking about the mushrooms too and nice to see the snail. The tree cemetery with the smoke was amazing. Oh that's sad about the baby bird. Yes definitely a good idea to bring your headland. Great dinner choice too. Those salamanders are amazing. Wow that's amazing about the book. ❤😮 I love it. Congratulations!
We went on a beautiful day and had a great time ❤️
Love seeing all the different salamanders in the smokies!
Yeah we've been working on it off and on throughout the year and just now I decided to mention it for the first time eventually we'll do a formal introduction to it.
Appreciate you watching 😀
This was an awesome video and I can’t wait to add this to my hiking bucket list! Thank you for sharing 🥾🥾🥾
Appreciate you taking the time of your day to give it a watch 😀 Glad you enjoyed it! There are five routes up Mount LeConte This is The second trail we have taken up we got 3 more to do 😁
what date did you hike? i will be traveling there and hope the smoke is gone
We were up there June 29th. Should be good now.
This was an enjoyable hike to watch guys, I like to watch these types of videos to get filming ideas but Google maps says it's a couple of days away so won't be there anytime soon.
Thanks for the fun video Nick and Rachel.
Thank you we appreciate it! Really glad you enjoyed it 😁 well I hope you make it there one day it's beautiful Definitely need to see the Blue ridge Mountains at least once ❤️
Congrats on your new book. We’ll be getting that for sure. I really liked fun facts with Rachel Segment and good to see Nick finally getting on camera. I’ll watch these hikes from here. No way I want to get close to those bears. Our family is short and look and look like Chicken Nuggets!
Yeah we've been quietly working on it for a little bit now 😁 We appreciate it!
I think the fun facts or something will try to do more in the future we like doing them as well!
This is definitely one of the harder day hikes in the Smokies. Chicken nuggets 😂
Canto give me the name of the water bottle your using?
If you check the pinned, in this video there's a link to it it's called The grayl. Also there's a link in the description.
Wow!! You guys have done well with the hike! We were there in early July and wanted to see Rainbow Falls but we couldn’t get parking spot so we ended up going to Grotto Falls instead; which we enjoyed. I went ahead and subscribed to your channel, to see where you guys are headed to next!!! Thanks for sharing ❤❤
Yeah a lot of these more popular hikes you definitely got to get there early! We had a great time on this one 😁 grotto Falls is beautiful ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing 😊
We have a lot of Smoky Mountain content on our channel broke down into playlist if you want to check that out.
