The return of Greg!!!
Enjoyed the video as usual Justin, living vicariously through you as I'm not really a backpacker, just a day hiker, but I sure appreciate and respect backpacking. Thank you.

Thanks so much! Any time outside is good time. Backpacking, day hiking or even walking your neighborhood. I’ll try to convince Greg to join me again soon! Bears will eat him first. I’m convinced! 🤪

Thanks Justin! Enjoyed the video. The trail, the town and the river look beautiful. I'm curious how Appalachian climbs compare to Colorado climbs in your opinion.

[@Justin_Hikes]

Thanks Slava! Those east cost climbs are quite challenging. Often rocky and steep!

@@Justin_Hikes I've heard before that many westerners, who look down at the Appalachia because of their much lower elevations, are humbled by the mountains because the climbs are long and often steep. It was interesting to hear your opinion though because I know your abilities and if you say they are tough, I have no doubt they are.

@@sanosov one of the challenges about the Appalachians is that once you finish a climb 99% of the time you start right back downhill only to go right up again. 🤪Still I love it there.
