Whoever built that bridge is a genius. Thank you for showing us around even if this was 2 years ago. It has been giving us a lot of information before we check these falls out

[@daniellejones2719]

I’m rewatching some oldies but goodies!

[@DreamRaccoon]

Wow, whoever built that bridge over Laurel Falls really knew what they were doing. Holy cow.

[@nikkirobinson2543]

TENNESSEE and KENTUCKY have the NICEST people you will ever want to meet. Very helpful and will feed you great country cooking and give the shirt off their backs. So I never want to hear ANYONE making fun of Kentucky., and Tennessee...💕 Both states have breathtaking mountains and Waterfalls...

[@Cpthilton]

Thanks for the on the spot reporting through the flooding. Better than the weather service.

[@ethanlamb6466]

Thank you for braving the elements to show us the falls. Awesome to see. Am I the only one who sees chemistry between Denise and Smoky Mountain Hiker??

[@butterdrops]

I appreciate all of you hiking in wet sloshy shoes to get those beautiful views. Am I the only one who thought it was sweet seeing Dawn and Denise holding hands. There's no better friend than a sister.

[@lovinbosco]

butterdrops Amen to that. I was blessed with two wonderful sisters. 😊

[@joannd267]

AMAZING .!.!. I will always remember Laurel falls like this. Try to keep them feet dry !!! STAY SAFE... HI William. Welcome to the Smokies Denise !! I Love You All !!! Always in my 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

A nice day for ducks! Thanks for the amazing coverage of the powerful falls.

[@roycagley6670]

I love you guys I love watching yens and you are so sweet both of you

[@JustOutnAbout]

That is wild!!! Beautiful but powerful!! Thanks for hiking out there for us to see! ~Dawn

[@anshantoday9682]

Words are powerless to describe how spectacular and beautiful the waterfalls are.

[@shirleyhuff1284]

I've been to the smokies many times but never hiked to the falls. Last May I was there for the first time in 10 years. My grandson and I decided to climb to see laurel falls. I dont exercise so I only made it a short way. I was so out of breath I could not believe it, I was afraid I would have a heart attack if I kept going. Thank you for showing this video. I've finally been to laurel falls. I'm almost 72. I'm sure this is as close as I will ever get. Thanks again.

[@JK-nk8cp]

The beauty of nature in all it's glory!!! 💗

[@tenaratliff9230]

oh Wow, love those falls especially Laurel, Thanks for sharing

[@crystalfields6067]

My hubby and I hiked to cataract falls and had Laurel falls on our radar, but hubby had a sudden heart attack and left me 2 years ago. Thank you for taking me along on your trip to this beautiful and wild place.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Sorry to hear that Crystal

[@Aquabun]

Wow this is so beautiful and spectacular thank you for checking it out for us!

[@billramsey9058]

WOW is Right. Amazing video. Thanks for letting us join you on the hike.

[@margosantucci1762]

Wow 😳 looks pretty but slippery when wet . Have fun be safe!

[@MarilynfromKY]

Amazing vlog. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccalong171]

Thanks for shareing. The falls are beautiful. City girl done good! Smokey Mountain Hiker's umbrella!!! LOL!!! Happy Trails!

[@jimsmith9931]

Thanks for getting cold and wet to get great footage!

[@peedeesanddigger4862]

Crazy but beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@paulbissonnette3650]

At 11:43 is when u typically see a hillside washout. Very lucky no landslide to be swept away in. It happens , ground becomes unstable with no warning

[@aking1914]

Beautiful footage! I don't think you realize how those "creeks" (that you ended-up wading thru on your way back) could have become a "FLASH Flood" in an instant....trapping you & your family. A word to the wise: during your travels, pay attention to the local "watch"; when it turns to a "warning", no matter what it is ~ DON'T do it (unless you're an adrenaline junkie who is suicidal). Please be careful, these adventures can turn into a tragedy in an instant! Thank you for the beautiful film footage of the Great Smokey Mountains during a time of flash-flooding!

[@sandyhockemeyer9768]

Holy Rushing Water!! That was just unbelievable. Thanks for an awesome video. Be Safe

[@troll9002]

Wow that is flowing so much better then it was in october. Wow. Thankyou for covering all the flood.

[@joemorrow8411]

Glad you didn't have a rock slide,,,,👍👍

[@mollybibb7498]

Thanks for getting wet for our enjoyment of the beauty of those trails. Thanks for sharing.

[@ruthanneegner1458]

You were referred by my son. I love seeing the Gatlinburg area . Thanks for letting us see what’s going on in my favorite place to visit.

[@dillpickle2916]

I'm surprised they didn't have the trail closed. Thanks for taking us along. Loved it!

[@broadwayblueshirts6160]

My sentiments exactly, Wow.. I think Denise was thinking what did I get myself into...lol Thanks for enduring the wet feet for us, Great video.

[@AngelS-br3vv]

Wow! That is crazy! Great footage

[@RayCowan]

What a wonderful thing to see Laurel Falls in flood! Looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could be there in person! Be properly careful around so much fast moving water. It can undercut trail beds and bridges before you know it. Thank you so, so much for sharing this experience.
