Hiking 12 Miles in a Winter Wonderland - Great Smoky Mountains

  • Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
  • The Great Smoky Mountains turned into quite the winter wonderland last week. A few inches of snow may not sound like much, but in the Southeast it's cause to drop everything and hit the trail. Decided to try my hand at a silent (well, technically one-word) hiking video. Hope it gets you excited for winter.

    Hey Aiden, just a heads up... if the droplets that were left in your water filter froze while you were hiking (which they did unless you were hiking with the filter inside your coat), the ice crystalized and tore apart the tiny tubules that filter out the bacteria. You most likely need to buy a new water filter because that one is now useless.

Just before the snow came in we did Mount LeConte in the rain and not many people were there, might have seen three people on the trail. Always tell people if you can manage it definitely go in harsher weather most people stay home. Beautiful video man thanks for sharing!
