Nick you're so blessed to have a stormtrooper wife like Rachel, my wife would not have even considered such a hike , she would have been going: I'm ready to turn around, I'm not doing this no way!!....I had no idea this was all that was involved to climbing Grandfather mtn!, I must get back up that way, thanks you guys, love yaw!

[@NickandRachel]

She definitely overcame some fears doing that hike 🤣 it was a really fun one though we're both glad we did it! One of the most fun hikes we've been on! Hope you get a chance to check it out! Appreciate you watching and commenting as always 😁

Squirrel Tail!! Hahahaha! Things that only KZbinrs are asked! That looked like an epic hike. Kids would love it but I'd be a nervous wreck the whole time... both for me and worrying about them. Looks like the views and the experience would be worth it though. Good job filming in less than ideal conditions!!

[@NickandRachel]

It seems like someone comments on every time I take it out lol figured I would leave it in the video this time lol I know I would have loved to have done that hike when I was a kid! Would definitely be nervous so if I took my kids up those letters. The views were incredible the whole way so glad we got to do it! Thanks for watching guys 🙂

Looks like a fun hike! But definitely rough going up that steep on little sleep!! Yea…that rhymed too.

🤣 nice! Yeah getting the hotel sold out from under us in the middle of the night with a nice surprise lol We need to invest in a little camper! At this point we're pretty used to hiking on a little sleep lol. Thanks for watching 🙂

This is such a different hike without kids! Love this version hahahaha

[@OurNationalAdventure]

We were here a few years ago and the views truly are amazing! What a joke with the hotel- thats just terrible. We hiked only a portion down to a cave close by the base. I had no idea all those ladder existed! Wow!!

[@NickandRachel]

It was awesome I'm so glad we made the trip! Yeah thankfully after calling hotels.com we got our money back finally. Well if you're ever up that way again definitely check it out!

[@NickandRachel]

This was probably our favorite hike of the year! Really challenging but very rewarding. Beautiful views all the way to the top. If you ever get a chance definitely do it if you're comfortable with climbing ladders. Thanks for watching 🙂

Looks like an epic hike! I can't wait to tackle this trail next time we are in the area!

[@whistlepig]

One of the best day hikes in North Carolina. I'm glad the wind didn't blow yall off the summit. It can get intense in the fall/winter.

[@NickandRachel]

The wind was terrible that day I'm surprised we didn't get blown off either 🤣 that was definitely one of our favorite hikes we've done in the last several years! Can't wait to go back 😁 Appreciate you watching and commenting! Was it the first video you ever seen of ours?

The blue paint on the rocks reminds me of East side Boulder scramble hike up Pinnacle Mtn in Little Rock, Ar. Just follow the red squares… eventually you get there! 😜

[@NickandRachel]

Haven't ever been there before! Yeah those markings can be helpful. Appreciate you watching 😀

[@MrPhchello]

I attempted this with family. At the time I was afraid of heights and freaked out at the ladder parts. I have done a lot of hikes now and ready to attempt this again. Still afraid of heights but ready to conquer my fears one activity at a time.

[@NickandRachel]

It can be pretty intimidating! I promise you once you go back and try it again and you complete it you'll be extremely proud of yourself! And you won't carry that fear with you anymore you'll be able to do more! You'll be able to do all kinds of cool adventures like this going forward 😁 Excited for you!

[@MrPhchello]

@@NickandRachel Thank you very much. I have already done some pretty intense hikes including some very scary ones in Hawai'i ( backway to the Haiku Stairs and Ka'ala). Hopefully I am ready for this one.

[@NickandRachel]

I'd love to hike in Hawaii! You shouldn't have a problem then!

Amazing . I am going to have to do this hike . Thanks for sharing

[@SantosChronicles]

Holy cow this looked rough. Our family will just watch you adventurous kids. It also looked really windy to be just hanging from a side of a mountain. I get a lot of comments on our wind mic also. The view though looks so good. Especially since the foliage looks so pretty. This could my favorite one from you guys.

[@NickandRachel]

Man it was such a fun hike! We had a blast can't wait to go back and do it again one day! It was extremely windy. Rachel was getting blown around pretty easy at the beginning of the hike. It was gorgeous up there with all the leaves changing. Definitely one of our favorites as well! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@RandyPollock]

I'll just watch the video...thanks guys.😀

[@NickandRachel]

Well I hope you enjoyed it 🙂 it was gorgeous up there!

[@OutsideComfortZone]

My little brother lives in Boone, and I want to do this hike but man, those stairs are TERRIFYING! Did the Half Dome Cables about a decade ago, so maybe I could muster some courage to be as brave as yall!

[@NickandRachel]

If you did Half Dome this should be a walk in the park! It was awesome I hope you get the chance to do it 😀

You guys nailed it! I only made it up to MacRae Peak, but holy cow was it an amazing hike!

​@@NickandRachel I have to check the map to see if I can find where this is. Looking forward to your next adventure😊

[@basecampcarolina4352]

Great hike! If you start at Grandfather Mountain State Park, you do not have to pay to park. There are several campsites along the trail and you can access Calloway Peak and the swinging bridge from there. Another great parking area is along the parkway and the hike up from there to Calloway passes a crashed plane. Definitely plan an all day adventure for this area. Out and back can be a long day. Thanks for the video. I’m sure it was gorgeous at peak leaf time. It can be cold up on top even during the summer.

[@NickandRachel]

Thanks for the information we definitely plan on going back and I want to do the 11 Mile Trail next time! I think it was called the profile Trail. And I'm pretty sure that's the trail of the plane crash is on. We definitely want to go back it was gorgeous!

[@AcaciaFikeNelson]

Thank you for sharing this hike! I have seen it come up a few times when searching for hikes to do and have wondered about all the ladders...and now I know! Too bad you weren't able to make it all the way to Callaway Peak. I always find it a bummer when you can't finish a trail/hike. My first time hiking Mt Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado (14,439 ft), we were about 45 minutes from the peak when we had to turn around because of a thunderstorm that rolled in. The next attempt was a success because we camped at the base and started at like 5am, but still ran into some thunderstorms on the decent, which was a bit intense, but made we made it to the top and checked it off my bucket list!

[@NickandRachel]

It was definitely a fun hike! We will for sure be going back probably do the Daniel Boone Trail in and make it an overnight next time! That's awesome I can't wait to start hiking mountains with that much elevation! unfortunately there's mine on this Coast so we got to travel across the country lol. glad you got to go back and finish that's awesome!

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

That is a great hike...my wife did that one summer many years ago! We have pictures of us standing at the top! Thanks so much for sharing, it brought back great memories!

[@NickandRachel]

North Carolina is gorgeous if we ever decide to leave Georgia that's where we're headed! If you ever get the chance do that hike it was awesome!

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Hopefully you wrote a terrible review for the hotel who decided reservations don't matter. We have seen this from a distance twice now (the Blue Ridge and atop Rough Ridge). Looks like a lot of fun and nerves. Maine has a lot of ladders and rungs for their crazy hikes too.

[@NickandRachel]

After about three times of calling hotels.com they gave us a refund. Never did leave a review on that hotel though. If you're ever in the area and you definitely need to do it it was awesome! Oh yeah I seen some videos from different ladder hikes in Maine looks really fun! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

@@NickandRachel it seems like effort, but no one will know they did that to you if you don’t let others know. Your channel is about showing people the outdoors. Sometimes you have to show people sketchy hotels too (not necessarily on your channel 😁). And yes - next time we come down I think we have to do this. We usually take a yearly trip to my dad in NC

[@NickandRachel]

Fantastic hike! It's definitely like a painting from up there. 😍 I don't stretch enough either. 🤣 3-4 hours of sleep...ok, we can hang then on astrophotography nights. 😁 Why do they hours in the park? ☹️ Nicely done.

[@NickandRachel]

Man it was a really fun hike we really enjoyed it! We weren't sore after that hike believe it or not we thought we would be my feet kind of hurt because we took a different route down and it was super Rocky but that was about it. I'd love to get into after photography it looks amazing! I guess because it's a state park and they shut down maybe I'm not sure. Thanks for watching!

Oh my gosh!!! That hike is insane. Cat is terrified of heights so it’s a no from us. Thank you for sharing the views!

a bucket list hike for me - I will be 61 in March - I could do this but not as fast as you guys seemed to be going. How long did it take you to complete the hike - I am a firm believer that you don't know if you can do it if you don't try. I would just want to go with those who took a lot of breaks so it may be better to wait for more daylight. This is a fabulous video and you captured far more than a lot I have seen.

[@NickandRachel]

You could definitely do it if you're in good shape we did it with a man who was like 65. Not real sure how long it would have taken us because it takes a while to film these videos. You should allow yourself at least 5 hours though. I will wait until you get more light try in the spring time. Get there early and take your time. Thanks 😊

Thanks! I think it would be good any time of year as long as you can handle the cold up there! If you're used to it being windy and cold then I don't see why it would be a problem. As long as it's not iced over you wouldn't want to be climbing ladders in that.
