Love Mount Mitchell. Went there a few years back. It was closed the last time we went. Next time I’ll have to hike instead of driving ha I have young kids so we drove. I’d like to hit all the mountains in NC.
You definitely get a really good appreciation for it once you hike it 😁 definitely not easy. We really had a great time there finally glad we got to do it! We got a long list of mountains in North Carolina we got to check off still! Appreciate you checking out the video
Loved watching your hike up to the summit and congradulations it really is an accomplishment. I did this hike in June 2023 and at 65 years I needed to get this off my bucket list before I was too old. Keep hiking.
@@rockesark9689appreciate it 😁 That's awesome to do that at 65! Really hope we are able to do things like this at that age! If you enjoyed this video you should definitely check out the others we have on our channel We do hikes like this all the time! Happy 4th July! 🎉
You definitely got to go do some hikes out that way! So far most of my favorite hikes have been in North Carolina. We seen a couple of those springs on the trail. Yeah I'm glad it cleared up so we could see something. Thanks for watching!
Oh you won't regret it this is a really fun hike! Hopefully you get some pretty views at the top 😁 if you haven't already consider giving us a follow and we post videos like this weekly!
It was a fun hike! Finally got to check off the king of the mountains over here on the East Coast 😁 couldn't help myself 🤣 Cool looking out over the horizon and seeing all the other mountains we have hiked in the past!
I think colors stand out more easily in those conditions. Some of my favorite photos of fall colors came from a hike in the Cohutta Wilderness on a foggy rainy day. The colors just pop in those conditions. We haven’t done this one so it’s another added to our list. Thanks for posting! And I’d much rather be going up using a headlamp than descending. ESPECIALLY w/o my hiking stick! Glad y’all arrived safe and didn’t take any spills along the way.
Definitely my favorite weather condition to film in! That's why we loved the Olympic National Park so much it was just so beautiful! Definitely reminds me of the smokies another temper green forest. Hopefully God willing will be heading to Oregon in July hopefully get a lot of good videos from there! Going downhill always sucks no matter what kind of condition 🤣
Love seeing the cloud inversion. This hike is beautiful. Thank you for taking us along. I have 117 miles of the smokies done but have moved away so it’s harder to try to finish my map.
I love these types of hikes! Probably my favorite really moody ones. I know what you mean it's slow going when you don't live close by! That's one of our goals is to finish all 900. Driving up from Middle Georgia slowly chipping it away lol Hope you get to finish it!
I hiked Mt. Mitchell years ago, before the summit tower was replaced. I did it one August day and the only other hikers on the trail were not going campground to summit and back. At the summit were many visitors who had driven up, and they looked at me with confusion when I told them I hiked up. They seemed to think, why hike when there's a perfectly good road? I like your goal of covering the whole GSMNP trail system. I did that with Shenandoah NP not long ago.
Exact thing happened to us everybody at the top thought we were crazy for hiking up 🤣 I guess they'll never understand lol That's awesome how many miles of trails are in Shenandoah National Park? We've done some hiking there but I don't remember off the top of my head. We live so far away from the smokies it'll probably take us a long time but we've been scratching off trails for a couple of years now
@@NickandRachel Shenandoah NP has 500+ miles of trail, and lots of bears! But my favorite wildlife sighting there was a close encounter with a Bobcat! To most people, Shenandoah is just the Skyline Drive, but, hike away from the Drive, and the wildlife is outstanding.
My favorite wildlife encounter in Shenandoah National Park was with a barred owl! It was beautiful. We have those videos in our Shenandoah National Park playlist. It's been a couple years since we've been about time we made our way back! I would love to see a bobcat on trail I haven't seen one yet!
@@NickandRachel I'll look for the owl video. That species is quite abundant in the park. Have you ever spotted their young ones? They're like clumps of feathers making a horrible hissing screech. Now you've done it, I have to share my frisky bears story. I was hiking a remote stretch of trail in the Park's south district and looking for birds one late May day. I heard one in a thicket and stood silently until he popped out. All of a sudden I hear a racket of scattering rocks and see two bears running right at me along the trail! I said, "Hey bears, whatya doing?" They immediately hit the brakes. They had no idea I was there because they were chasing each other and I was so quiet. The female (in the lead), scampered down the side of the ridge, and the male reversed his course back along the trail. But before leaving, he turned his head and looked at me, as if to say, "Thanks a lot, pal!" I'm pretty sure they resumed their date before long. It was scary, but once I realized they had no bad intent, the event became one of my all-time favorite wildlife anecdotes.
@@kevinlewallen4778 I've never seen any baby owls. That's crazy! I bet you he was mad lol we've had some funny bear stories as well hiking in the smokies a lot. Thank God Black Bear aren't that aggressive and they're more scared of us. If that were a grizzly it would have been a different story.
Great hike. We are slowing working on the peaks of the Adirondacks but that's almost a 6 hour drive so chipping away little at a time. The one that we have almost finished is completing the AT in the state of PA where we live.
That's awesome I would love to make our way to the Adirondacks one day! Beautiful mountain range 😁 that's an awesome accomplishment once you finish it! We did a few miles last weekend on the AT Georgia. Might have to complete it now that we started it lol
It is so cool how when you get higher up it turns in to alpine forest its like an alpine island also I bet it was super cold up there also love the video
Yeah I love it. It starts smelling like a Christmas tree farm! 🌲😁 It's definitely a lot cooler at the top! But your blood is pumping so you're pretty warm lol awesome glad you enjoyed the video! Appreciate you watching and commenting. We upload videos like this weekly. Hope to see you around in the comments!
"Alltrails is a liar"... Indeed it is! It really messed with Mister and I on our Palmetto Trail Hike. We thought we should be done at 14.9 and it ended up at 16.7... That extra 1.8 miles is the longest ever cause you think you should be DONE! Well done guys! Especially with the injuries! Thats rough! Haha we noticed when you guys were taking your lunch break Rachel made a face trying to open her drink cap! 😬You pull off the Lumberjack look pretty well! When we came down and did the PMT we hiked through that same Lord of The Rings type atmosphere... it was awesome! Good job, on to the next bucket!
Can't ever trust alltrails 🤣 yeah once you get it in your head that it should be over it's hard to bounce back 🤣 Usually instead of struggling she just hands it to me 🤣 Love my flannels! Favorite type of weather to hike in! I'll have to check out that PMT video when it comes out.
We're finally glad we able got to knock it out 😀 not sure how far you live but maybe you could stay at the campground wake up early and start would be really good springtime hike! Appreciate you watching
Not too far. It took us about 4 hours and 40 minutes to get there. Wish we would have stayed in a campground. Maybe Google it and see before you go I'm not sure what days they're closed.
@@NickandRachel Thank you! Hey have y’all considered doing the Alabama Triple Crown that As The Crow Flies Hiking has put together? I just did it the weekend before last and it was so much fun!
@@sharpironhikers1878 oh yeah I know all about it I was actually hiking with Metro on the move last weekend. I'm not sure if we'll ever do it but it does sound like a lot of fun!

We started our trail at the Black Mountain campground. Not sure if that helps you or not? Also we pinned our all trails route in the description of the video if you want to check that out. This was an awesome hike I'm glad we did it! Wouldn't mind doing it again one day. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
There was a lot of huge mushrooms on this Trail! And some of the ones you were saying you were definitely rishi 🍄 Good eye! appreciate you watching and commenting!
Wow! That seems like a tough but incredible hike! I love the part of the video where you're above the clouds - that must have been a breathtaking view! ⛰ It's so cool that you got to see the grave of Dr. Elisha Mitchell. I also loved how you highlighted the importance of being prepared for a hike like this. 👍 Did you end up having to hike out in the dark? 😬
It was pretty tough! Yeah I love hiking in the mist and into the clouds 😁 such an awesome resting place that's for sure! Yes we did there's a little bit of us hiking in the dark towards the end of the video back to the car.

Just did this like with my friend yesterday. It was a solid challenge for sure.
Well congrats on hiking the highest mountain on the East Coast! Hope y'all had a good hike! I know we had a really good time👊
Thanks for the content, I have taken that hike but not in the winter. It’s good to hear from Nick also.
It was really pretty in the winter time. Would love to go back in the spring one day or maybe the fall! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

Straight up and hiking above the clouds....sounds like fun to me! Cool how that spring is coming out of the ground like that. Nice payout at the top!

Absolutely gorgeous hike my friend, such a lovely scenery and beautifully presented!
Appreciate you watching! We had a great time 😁

Such beautiful colours everywhere 💚
Turned out to be a beautiful day 😁
Long day and it looked like a tough hike. Nice at the top. Big butt and little butt, that is absolutely hilarious.

Mnt. M. Is very good and exciting 😅😅
We had a great time on the mountain! Finally glad we got to do it 😁
