Surprise Snowfall in the Smokies

- I hiked from Lead Cove to Bote Mountain to Finely Cane this morning. The loop is approximately 7.5 miles and takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to complete. The day started with light rain and fog. It then changed to sleet and finally into snow. I saw 2 wild hogs for the first time, and also saw a large owl (which I wasn't able to capture on my GoPro, but will upload later from my phone to RUclips Shorts). It was another great hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP).

Very pretty hike,thx for taking us along
Thanks Sherry!
Great hike. Brrrrrrr!
Thanks! It was a little cold, but makes for perfect hiking weather. 🙂
Loved seeing the weather change during the hike.
I did too. I was hoping for a little snow and got my wish. 🙂
@@justkeepwalkin Last March we did a little half day trip over to Bryson city and on the way there there was no snow at Newfound Gap but then on the way back it was covered in snow. It was so cool to have that happen in the course of the day.
@PaintedRavensong We've been to Bryson City a few times. On a couple of visits, Newfound Gap was closed due to weather on the way back, and we had to take the "long" way around. 😄
Very cool that you saw the wild hogs!
Hi Amy! That was the first time I had seen wild hogs while hiking. It was cool seeing them (from a distance). 😁
I've done this loop many times, mostly in winter. It's a good one!
Hi Rachel! I agree. This is a good one. I like trails that actually make a loop.
@justkeepwalkin definitely. I like to do the longer loop sometimes too, which includes Schoolhouse-> Turkeypen-> Finley-> Bote back to schoolhouse trailhead. About 9 miles 👍
@rachelgoetze I haven't done that one yet, but I may have to try it. Thanks!
Another great hike my friend. I really love hiking in mild inclement weather makes for interesting events to take place some of which made me wish I either had a pillow or skis strapped to my hind quarters. Thanks for taking me along with. Hike on my friend see you on the next one.
Thanks James! I like a little snow too while I'm hiking as long as it doesn't get too bad. I should have taken a sled so I could have made a quick return down the mountain. 😁
I enjoyed your hike today, it was good seeing hogs in the woods. They are so destructive. Glad you got back before the weather gets to bad. I live in Ga. The weather is supposed be turn bad in a day or so. Thank you stay safe
Thanks Dan! That was the first time I had seen wild hogs while hiking. I've heard they can be temperamental. The snow never got bad, but it is supposed to get really cold this week. Stay warm.
We often hike Finley Cane and Turkey Pen. We need to try lead cove as well. Cheers
Hi David! Finley Cane and Turkey Pen are both great. Lead Cove isn't bad either. 🙂
I live in Cosby we got some snow its definitely chilly out love your videos some trails you post i never seen till now i hike big creek and Greenbrier a lot cosby park also
Hi Brad! I live in Maryville and tend to stay on this side of Gatlinburg for hiking. I need to venture over to Cosby more, but worried the old Mazda might not make the trip. 😃
@justkeepwalkin i understand lot of beautiful places in Cosby my friend if ever get out this way it be worth it
@bradcampbell1641 Thanks, Brad! I'll reach out when I decide to head that way for some recommendations. Thanks.
@@justkeepwalkin absolutely my friend I can tell you a lot of nice trails and historical facts 😊 lot of history in Cosby
There are a lot in NC big Creek midnight hole is only a few miles beautiful swimming hole so blue and clear giant Rock to jump off of also
We live up here Johnson City, Bristol area but my stepsons live in Maryville and ones a policeman in Maryville and they brought us up to Cades Cove. It’s beautiful down that way.
Cades Cove is one of my favorite places to visit. They close it to car traffic on Wednesdays in the Summer. It's a lot less crowded and much more enjoyable on bicycles. We rented electric bikes last year and went through the Cove. It was wonderful.
Snow here in Townsend today all day
Hi Deborah! We got a little in Maryville, but not much. Stay warm. It's going to be really cold over the next few days.
I think I would be more scared of a wild pig than a bear. 😊
I agree! The wild hogs definitely got my attention. 😄
