Hiking in Big South Fork National Park in Fall (Tennessee)

- The fall colors were popping on my recent solo day hike to Big South Fork State Park. I hiked a trail I hadn't done before and did the O & W Railroad & Leatherwood Loop for a total of 9 miles. I had fantastic weather and views and it was so worth the drive for some great fall hiking. This hike is also part of the Sheltowee Trace trail which I had planned to thru hike last year before starting my job. Maybe one day I will hike the whole trail. :)

Hey there! So when I was at Leatherwood Ford for an aid stop, one of my crew members mentioned that a RUclipsr had just been there that they recognized, but I was so out of it from just hiking 330 miles that I didn't give it a second thought....but glad we got to bump into you at the O&W Bridge! Sorry I couldn't stick around and chat, lol, but I did get the new Fastest Known Time! 6 days, 9 hours for the 343 miles. Happy hiking!
Oh! the foods you can enjoy while day hiking versus through hiking. Yummy!
This was beautiful my friend, such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere! Love it 👏👏
Yea! Glad to see Hiking with Braids back on the trail. The trail is beautiful.
Really been missing your hiking videos. Beautiful Fall colors. Thank you so much.
Beautiful fall color hike and thank you for sharing!
I like the rock house at virgin falls as well. Perfect hike for October.
Beautiful fall day. I just love it when the leaves are raining!! You couldn’t have ordered a better day.
BTW,
Nice to see you out on trail again!!
Love it! Go there all the time! Anytime you need someone to hike with there hit me up. Close to home and hike there a lot.! I have hiked the whole Shetowee Trace Trail.Thanks for sharing
Hi Braids 👋 It's great to see you hiking in the fall. It's so cool that you all have a John Muir Trail over that way! It is definitely beautiful over there! These fall colors are just magnificent! Lunch looked good, too! 😊 I love the sound of the crunching leaves under your feet!
I’m so glad I’m getting some hiking in while there’s still color.
Looking good fall colors
Beautiful! Glad to see you out in the woods!
Good to see you back. I know what it's like to miss hiking because of work.
Looked like a beautiful fall day! So glad to see you back out and enjoying nature! Can't believe you ran into Jason Wish! I subscribe to his channel and have been watching his live feeds. Great video!! 😊
Another great video👍 yours are always so good !
Nice to see you back on a trail. There were some nice colors. We just drove from MI to MN and saw tons of colors at their peak. Then we drove across lower MI and tons of colors there too. John from MI
Hi John! Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for sharing! The leaves are falling here in PA!
A beautiful hike. Thank you so much for taking us along. Your videography is spot on. I hope the colors hold on for you til your hike!!✌️❤️
You are in my favorite hiking area - The Big South Fork. Looks like perfect timing on leaf season.
Yes, Devils Den is a huge rock shelter. There are quite a few interesting geological formations in the BSF. I am always amazed by the perfect patterns, of round holes , in many of the rocks.
There is a nice place to camp on the top of the hill over the top of Devils Den. Nice view also. I also camped one night next to the big house size rock near the O&W Bridge. ( It was after dark when I got there - so didn't think that I would bother anyone.)
Good afternoon from Massachusetts.....
Love your videos ❤
Wonderful!
🎉I love hiking with braids missed seeing videos🍂✌️🧡🙂
😊🤗
i was the guy in the yellow shorts with Jason Wish :) We got the record! You should still thru hike the Sheltowee
Omg that’s so awesome!! Congratulations!
Hi Braids nice to see ya back ,tell Jerry hi for us Don and Robin ohio
Great to see you hiking again. I hope someday you can get some time off to do the Sheltowee Trace Trail. This looks like it would be a perfect time of the year to do it. 👣😎👍
Maybe one day!
Looks like a great day trip. Good to see you on the trail again!
The fall colors were amazing! It does look like a great day hike! Had no idea there was a John Muir Trail! Can't wait to see your backpacking trip!

I live in Anderson Co. I have been to BSF three times this month lol my husband doesn't like it like I do so I do solo as well. Would love if you lead a group one! I bet many of us would go ❤
You had a great day to hike. I have been to that bridge on my horse. Sat on that rock too for a break. Thank you for the video.
You didn't happen to see any loose horses when you were there, did you? There are a couple of missing horses loose at this time.
No I didn't see any horses this day.
Absolutely beautiful. Love the colors ❤
Here in the Netherlands they are not willing to pop so far unfortunately.
Hopefully they’ll turn soon! 🤞

Braids, you're a lot younger than I am. Im 60 yo. Would you consider doing a video on how to prepare mentally for the AT thru-hike?
I'm afraid to go hiking by myself I'm a 6 ft 1 230 lb I was in the Navy for 3 years I wouldn't go by myself lol
Never ever stop hiking and exploring braids it's in your blood that's what you do
National Park not State Park
Oh wow yes you’re right! Thanks I’ve always been under the assumption it’s a state park. I’ll have to update my title.
