    12:45 "This is absolutely stunning!" Yes it is! And I, for one, am grateful that you are sharing it with us! 👍 That was stunningly beautiful to say the least. The only thing I was missing was feeling that cold, clear, mountain air that burns your lungs when you inhale. It would be even cooler to be the one who broke tracks in that. Seeing the smile on your face said it all. Thanks for a great early Christmas present! To me, this means Christmas even more than all the crap that people think they need to spend money on and all of the other carrying ons they engage in. This is truly a "gift" for the soul! Thanks for taking us along and sharing the magic of such a special day. Take care, safe travels, and God bless! 👍👊🏼🇺🇸

    Beautiful! Thanks to all the other hikers for ducking under the limbs, to maintain the beauty and not knock the snow off of the limbs. Thanks to you, for knowing how to take a good video with slow, gentle panning.

    Looks amazing! Love the ice formation on the trees. If you're still planning on hitting up Franconia Ridge on your way up north bring snowshoes and spikes. We just got over 30" snow in most parts of the state.

    When I let you know that big snow was coming to deal with on your drive north I was thinking all negative aspects. Of course you found the positive! How beautiful...again. With my trail name POZ, I should have known better.

    @andynoel7484 3 года назад

    Hawk, just had to revisit this video, the views are outstanding, rime ice down south, AMAZING. At the 27:56 minute mark there is a view the mountains in the background and a coated pine tree at the right corner, it would make a beautiful Christmas Card photo. Is there anyway I can get a still of the picture? I tried, but it looks like RUclips does not give the option to do it. Safe travels to Maine and Merry Christmas, Stairmaster, York, Maine.

I choose my mornings watching your videos and today was “awesome” as you say. I’m happy for you to get such beauty in your world, and more that you appreciate such a gift. Thank you 🥰

    Great video thanks for taking us along. Your mountains above the clouds at 22:35 is the Black Mountains and the Black Mountain Crest Trail along that summit should interest you. 12 miles more or less with 4000 ft up and 3000 down and you bag 10 peaks above 6000 ft. from Mount Mitchell to Bowlens Creek. tehcc.org/wiki/Black_Mountain_Crest_Trail
