I am so happy 🥰 you didn't play music on this video and let us hear the beautiful sounds 👂 of the GSM's along with the beautiful views 👀 of the Great Smoky. Mountains.👍
Love all the trails you take us on without you I wouldn't get to see them
I hate to see those old cabins going down like that! People don't about history anymore! Thank you will and dawn for telling the history of those old homesteads!
Thank you for showcasing the beautiful wildflowers.....loving your videos with your new equipment.....also thank you for not always putting music with the videos....I love hearing the sounds of nature and the streams.
Your camera work and your photography is amazing..all so beautiful..you truly make us feel we are right there taking every step with you..and thank you for that..I'm from Chattanooga but don't get to visit your town like I did in years past..
So exciting to see how things once were. So sad to see the disrespect shown to something others could enjoy. I love seeing the old homesteads,mills, farms, Churches, fencing, you do great highlighting these places. Get Dawn some pancakes! Love your shirts!
Wow..you hit a home run with this video. Beautiful photography..
Thanks 😊 Margaret
Hey guys I really enjoyed this video, Thanks for taking us along with you.
Will your video was amazing. I felt like I was standing next to you.. Such beautiful gifts we are given and sometimes they are not appreciated.
I loved hearing the water, birds and the sounds of God's magnificent nature!! Thank you! And amen the pioneers most definitely had it rough. They worked so hard to make a life here! ❤
Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains when we can’t be there. I loved that you highlighted the nature that we sometimes overlook. The flowers were beautiful and the sounds of the flowing waters was relaxing. Thanks for the time you take to share these videos with us! Tell Dawn thanks as well!
One of my favorite drives in the mountain no matter how many times you drive it you always see something new and interesting thanks for taking us along have a great week
So much history in these mountains.The people that settled here were a hardy people and so are their ancestors.
Wow - such a great video with the sights and sounds of the Smokies. The wildflowers were beautiful. Thanks for the ride. Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is one of our absolute favorite drives. We missed it this year since we came in mid February and it was still closed. Thanks again - loved it.
Look! the snail 🐌... is chasing those nuts🥜 😂😂 love💕 that whimsical gate...Beautiful footage Will...the wildflowers🌷🌼🌾 are everywhere! 🤗 love💕 the glow of those 🍯🍯 honey jars in the window with the 🌞sunshine shining thru them😊...Thanks for sharing this Beautiful spring day with us all🌾🤗👍
BEAUTIFUL!! The water is just calling to be sat by and relax. Springtime is here! Feel like going at the snails pace out there. Everyone needs a little slow down and enjoy time. Life goes too fast
I love the fact that these are my ancestors. My great grandparents cabin is the one that was moved from the Sugarlands to Roaring Fork Motor Trail. I am proud of my heritage, and so was my mother. She passed last November and I took her to Levi Trentham (from south Georgia) to bury her ashes. She always wanted to go home. She is now "home", and laid to rest with her mother and grandparents.
A great trail. I would like to have a chair by the water and just sit and listen to it as long as I wanted to. So relaxing. Can't wait for more videos. Thanks
I would really enjoy doing that too.
I'd love to tie a hammock between 2 trees on the bank and just lay there all day long.
Now that was really beautiful.. I loved the waterfalls.... also the cabins,, often have to wonder what they would tell you if they could talk..😊,, Thanks for taking us along..👍💟
Thank you for another great video today. I truly have memories from my childhood spending Sunday afternoons in Cherokee orchards with my grand parents in summer and I love the spring time there, so peaceful. I usually go late evenings or early mornings to see the deer and bears. Hope you had a great day there. Love you guys.
It breaks my heart to see our heritage destroyed by the disrespect and destruction done to our ancestors homes. Wish people would respect our parks and beauty of them, so people can come and see and enjoy our heritage.
I love this video. I love to go back and watch these spring time videos. Love the close up of the flowers.
Glad you enjoyed it
I haven’t driven this in the spring with all the wildflowers in bloom-will have to come next year-really beautiful! Love your vlogs!
WOW!! BEST PRISTINE VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! THANKS WILL AND DAWN!
Thanks 😊 Sharon
Thank you for sharing all your journeys.I enjoy watching them and it gives me new places to visit when we are in the area.
Both my husband and I put this on our TV screen and watched. Such beautiful videos of the falls, flowers, snail, cabins and everything. We love watching you. You feel like family!
Thanks Donna 😊
We drove this trail last November (2021) in my big Acura MDX - it was SCARY in some parts! Absolutely gorgeous, with great mountain vistas and scenery. Even saw a mama bear and her two cubs. There were many sharp, narrow turns with steep drop offs. I told my wife that although it was worth it, once was probably enough. LOL
Amazing!
Roaring Fork and Cades Cove are my 2 favorite places to drive through while visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!! My husband and I enjoyed watching your videos together. He passed away last month. We were married 48 years. I am not sure if and when I will be able to visit there again. I will continue to watch your videos! They bring back good memories of my time there with my husband!
I'm so sorry for your loss well keep you and your family in our prayers 🙏
I hope someone will take you. So sorry to hear about your husband.
You guys look so cute being color coordinated! I love it when couples do that. Love the video!
😊
Your video brought back some pleasant memories. I lived in Knoxville from 1952 to 1977 then moved to Dallas for work. We had a house in the old Assembly Grounds (later called Mynatt Park) and we used to fall asleep at night to the sound of the creek just a few yards from our cabin. I remember that area before the tennis courts, the basketball court, the covered picnic area, and the ball field. I even remember when Pigeon Forge just had a couple of blinking traffic lights on our way to Gatlinburg. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you for sharing your memories ❤
Beautiful scenery and so calming listening to the water!! Thanks so much!!!
It is so beautiful there! Great video as always. So glad it is spring so we can enjoy your trail adventures. Thanks for sharing👍❤️
SO PRECIOUS IS THE SNELL! THANKS LOVE IT. I SAW ONE IN MY YARD THE OTHER DAY.
Wonderful an motor nature trail in those beautiful Smokies!!
I am so happy to see your tour and the lovely scenery. I am glad the weather did cooperate.
Gotta love the "mountain made antiques and crafts" from China. Your video and guide skills are superb!
Yes my family from Michigan I live in Florida now
Great video with all the spring flowers. I love the great smoky mountains it is one of my favorite national parks.
I Love it there me and my family going again this September hopefully... And will love to go see the beautiful nature trail
Beautiful...love natural beauty! So vibrant looking... Thank you Will and Dawn ❤
Relaxing ride, liked all the water views and pretty Spring flowers.
I know I'm the odd ball in the YITS Family. Most people like the restaurant reviews, but me; give me nature! I like your hiking videos the best. The waters, flowers, trees, living things, etc... The long ago man made things. I'll take this over the restaurant and hotel reviews everytime! It's not that I don't like those other videos, but this... 🥰😍❤️
I'm with you Tony5000, for me I can't get out an hike like I would like too or get to the area as often. It is just beautiful.
Thank you Tony and Donna 😊
Will you do such a wonderful job with your video work in your photography picking out the beauty of nature. And then you add such beautiful music that matches its just perfectly. And dawn you are quite the helpmate for your husband. My husband does photography also and I know how much patience it takes to wait for them to get the right shot and help them with their gear and be there just to be sure they stay safe. God-bless you for helping your husband so much . Look forward to say more videos keep up the beautiful work.😍😍😍😍❤❤
Thanks Pamela 😊
@@yankeeinthesouth You can call me Pam!
Thanks Will and Dawn for showing us the little gift shop at the end of the trail. I definitely need to stop and get some local honey on my next trip.
You guy's are great! Keep up the fantastic videos you have inspired my wife and I to visit next month. Your videos really capture the wonderful sights and sounds of the mountains.
Dawn needs to do more narrating. God bless and keep the great videos coming. Hope to see you guys around for a selfie.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wonderful video. Thank you guys for sharing. I love the waterfalls an sounds. So peaceful. The wildflowers was awesome. We usually got on the fall, but we hope to go in May to see the wildflowers. This motor trail is my favorite goto place in the Smokies. Thanks again for the awesome video. Happy journeys. 👍🏻🥾🥾🐻🙏

Beautiful trip you took us on .So relaxing .We are just getting spring flowers in Michigan .
Good Morning Will and Dawn 😃 What a beautiful place. I was debating walking upon the mountain today after watching your video i know I am. That old mill is awesome. Someone sure put a lot of work into making that gate. Loved Roaring Fork Auto Trail. Thanks for another awesome video, God bless youns and have a wonderful day!
I LOVE to drive on Roaring Fork Motor Trail Road. It's so beautiful! My Next fav. to drive is Rich Mountain Road. :)

Love this trail. Thanks for sharing your journey on opening day! Loved the pictures of the flowers and waterfalls in 4K. It’s a shame what has happened to some of the cabins.
Thank you Josh
Awesome. All your videos would benefit by telling folks how to get to these places in the park. Most only know how to get to stuff around Sugarlands. Thanks very much!!!!

Thank you Helga 😊
I liked the flowers and the snail. The quality of the video was perfect.
Awesome video!! I went in November. It is so beautiful. I injured my knee before vacation so I was not able to get out and explore but hope to go again maybe next year!
Been awhile since I've commented, hope all is well with you guys!! Great content as usual and thanks so much for all you do. Look forward to your Rod Run coverage!
Thanks Jimmy 😊
I love the nature great video!
The very beginning of the roaring motor trail by the first cabin is a great place to see bears.
Beautiful video! Thanks for all the nice images of spring flowers. Also thanks for reminding us to think about the lives, joys, and challenges of the people who inhabited that area. I bet neighbors were really close to each other and highly valued.
I never knew about this loop but will put it on the list for next trip. About how much time does it take?
It depends on what the traffic is like you can do it at least in two hours
