Yes it was. Absolutely beautiful.

It really is!

I think I left that part out but we did realize that when we went visiting the park. Need to do some in NC in general as we don’t know that area well.

😆 well keep tagging along! Have some good ones coming up! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Kari did a lot of this video. Mostly her organization.

That sounds like a good time. Loved the trail. Such a nice ride.

Thank you. Appreciate that. lol well I haven’t had a chance to ride much, but the second I try to go on a trail I’m sure I’ll be missing it a lot. Or whenever I need to adjust shifting until I buy another bike with a pinion.

@ next weekend we’re gonna make sure Louie puts your old bike through its paces on the tally tango

@@HuntersCyclingAdventuresnice. You going to film it?

@@TylerandKari you know it

Seriously. My favorite by far. Columbia was nice too. But that one was great.

Hopefully it was helpful. I think I just commented to a different comment about the airline. But just in case, it was either American or Alaska air that we used. We called to confirm and they were very helpful. I’m pretty sure it was Alaska air. United did not allow it at that time

So I can’t remember if we flew American or Alaska air to Hawaii. I think it was Alaska air but not 100% certain. I do know United did not at that time allow our dog in the cabin to Hawaii specifically. I would call directly and ask but I’m pretty sure it was Alaska air that we used.

It’s such a wonderful place in the summer. This was from our first time ever in winter and was a beautiful sight.

Definitely recommend visiting in the winter if you’re able ❄️

Can’t wait to go again!

Always beautiful. Not always fun to drive in.

@TylerandKari true that

So happy we made that happen.

Approx 2 months. Usually we run a couple months behind.

Some of the trails were damaged by Helene but we are a bit behind in posting and this was literally just a couple weeks before Helene.

And thank you for watching. Hope you enjoy them. We were so happy we got to explore this area and being our first time, it didn’t disappoint. Gorgeous place. We were shocked by how packed it was. Drove through once in February and no one was around. We definitely did not make it there. Sounds like a good spot to add to our list of adventures. Hopefully in the future on another trip we can see that area. Love nature. Thanks for sharing the info on places to see. Always enjoy tips from locals!

Haha well corn dogs too. Yes! Also so happy to get some shots of both of us for memories!

Still amazed at how beautiful it was. Something special for sure.

@ if I ever win the lottery, I’m definitely buying a cabin somewhere in the smoky Mountains

That would be a great spot. Shoot you could get two cabins if you win.

I bet that was some beautiful scenery though from a bike.

Did you bike through Cades Cove?

Nice. Hope it’s a great time! It was easy and wide. Nice dirt road. No one was driving it when we went but some car must have earlier in the day because someone was parked up at the trial for devils bridge after the road ends at the trail head. But hiking it there and chuck wagon back was good and we enjoyed it.

I think it is definitely worth the trip. Pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was. Excited to share part 2. Lots more beauty to come. Thanks for watching!

Haha you were amazing! I knew you could do it. Team player.

Seriously! Love it. Such a nice place to hike.

Is it the one on the right side? Or a different spot?

I think it has been one of our favorite memories of biking. Now that sounds like a fun century to do. Gorgeous views throughout I’m sure.

Thank you. Such a tough ride. Good to hear you’re back at it. Keep it up. Looks like a nice bike overall. Can’t go wrong either way. Thank you!

Lots of research should go into any hike, and why we chose the time of year we did. Made for an enjoyable hike. Good info though to always check the weather. Something we definitely recommended and would encourage everyone to look into and going to the visitor center to gain info before considering this hike.

Was something we needed to do.

I know! Always seem to find them too.

Such a beautiful sight. That was the highlight of ours.

We loved seeing them. So fun to watch.

We saw so much wild life on that same drive!! We felt like we were driving through a very large zoo. It was amazing 🤩

Haha same. We did that drive once and saw so much wildlife. Such a beautiful road to experience.

Loved them!

We are slowly learning that. Now if I could just get another one!

Thank you. We had a great time making them. What a great way to enjoy a vacation with family. Some of our best memories too. Yeah unfortunately couldn’t make it this year with work. Trying to make it in 2025 for a comeback year.

@@TylerandKari was much easier this year! Temps only in the 80’s😁

@@dalegoodwin7618now if only it could be like that again.

The sand was by far the worst part. Very tiring. I’ll have Kari respond, but I think they are slightly different so not sure her favorite. I always try to harness my inner Duzer but that guy can ride. I was beat for sure with some sore legs after. I did enjoy the 600x especially on the sand and not having to clean any of the drivetrain but still no easier to ride haha.

I’ve only done one true ride on the current and it was a challenging ride so it’s still hard to say. So far, there are different things I like about each one. I like the lower gear and ease of shifting on the current. I like my seat and the longer battery life on the specialized.

Well I did forget my goggles which I definitely would have worn. Otherwise, I’m not sure I think the locals just go for it.

That’s very unfortunate to hear. Though very happy sounds like you found a good place eventually to support you on your journey for a bike and to get cycling!

Sounds like you turned it into motivation like I did! Great to hear you didn’t let that stop you!!

Hahaha oh Jeeze. I know right. She’s going to see this comment I’m sure. Love you mom! But we may be getting you some training wheels!

lol yeah on the ride home even! What a tough day.

lol I’m going to say it likely isn’t.

😂😂 debatable

Hey almost 100% certain in December will be able to make it down for a little. Is that a good time?

@@TylerandKari yeah that should be great I’ll take y’all to all the cool’s spots to ride

@@HuntersCyclingAdventureswe will let you know when we get our plans finalized. Hope that could work!

Such a beautiful hike! One of our favorites for sure.

@@TylerandKari im going back this weekend! Last year my husband caught covid and couldn't go, so I went with a group. Now I'm taking him so he doesn't miss it! 🥰 im esp gratefully its dog friendly. Its hard to find places to take my pup.

@@christinaturpin9464 That is so awesome you get to return and share it with him. Hopefully you have a wonderful trip! That's always a plus! Pet friendly hikes are the best. have a great time!

Just searching for some catfish!

I know. I think I was more surprised with Arizona.

I know. Some of those up to 12 feet! Glad we didn’t run into any. I still can’t believe you put your head under and went for it

Such a great hike. Hope it was beautiful weather. It was kind of like the beach with all the sand for sure. Sounds like a good time.

@@TylerandKari Yeah, the weather was perfect. We started about 9am, so had to park down the road. It was in the 60's but clear skies. Finished around 2pm, it was in the mid 80's. Good times for sure. 🙏

@@psychoactivthat’s awesome. Love that place.

Haha nice. Yeah it always starts off with him walking but we always end up carrying for a large part of it. Thank you and thanks for watching. Enjoy!

We did 11 miles total and took us 2 hours. A lot of that was stopping for the views and filming though.
