Good to see you hiking. Boulevard is my favorite trail to LeConte.

WOWWW , what a surprise!! 18 mile LeConte hike ! Those white flying bugs are Afids on my back porch. I think that's the same ones there. This is, I think , the 4th Mt. Le Conte trip I've enjoyed with you guys. Very impressed!!! ❤

[@HikingwithBraids]

Haha yes it was! Thanks for the clarification - I wasn’t sure what they were 😂

[@diamondbackking4141]

I'm so glad you're posting again !!!❤❤

[@diamondbackking4141]

[@ervinslens]

Just outstanding video. The film quality and cinematography are amazing here guys! Love it

[@HikingwithBraids]

Oh wow thanks so much!

[@pauly9401]

Loved the last video you both did going to Mt Leconte! Loved seeing new videos! I also loved your Appalachin Trail series…

[@angelusway]

Good to see you guys back out❤

[@gregcagle1382]

Glad to see a new video. Started hiking about four years ago and without so many words, your videos have been an inspiration. If I’m not mistaken I believe I missed you by one day at LeConte last year. Only have a few days a couple times a year and I’ll be back in the Smokies in about a week.

❤ wow! What beautiful and very rewarding hike thanks for taking me along!

[@amariesimms]

Your Ch was suggested to me and it's been so delightful. I am disabled (since 2015) and unable to do the hiking that I use to. I am tagging along with you and it's so wonderful and your talks and observations are pleasant and informative. Thank you and Cheers!

Hi Bob!! 👋

[@JasonScottCarter]

Hubby & I hiked the Trillium Gap trail a couple weeks ago. Met a bear on the trail. Saw deer on the way up and met many nice people!

[@craigs6335]

We enjoyed watching your video. How long did it take you to get to LeConte Lodge from the Newfound Gap parking lot?

[@rachelgoetze]

Boulevard is my favorite and I've always wanted to do it as an out and back (I've always come down Alum after Boulevard) but have been too chicken 😂😂 I was hoping for an end of hike clip to see how it was 😅😂

[@HikingwithBraids]

Haha yes I wish I’d filmed that. It was TOUGH going up and back. I’ll probably never do that again 😂

[@rachelgoetze]

@HikingwithBraids yeah the thought of that much UPhill after already doing 12+ miles for the day makes me cringe 🤣🤣 but maybe I'll do it as a one and done experience.... but then again, it may cause me to not love it as much anymore 🤣🤣

[@HikingwithBraids]

Go for it or you’ll always wonder. It’s still a great trail even after this hike 😊

[@carlcarson2297]

Great video! How long did it take you to out and back the Boulevard?

[@HikingwithBraids]

It was an all day hike. But my husband was hiking only seeing out of one eye

[@dianapearson1771]

I like the fall color videos better! But, thanks for it all!!

[@Djhikes63]

Quick question: Are you feeling another thru-hike in the future?

[@HikingwithBraids]

I have a new car payment so probably not 😂 but maybe a shorter one at some point

[@dianapearson1771]

This isn’t the trail the llamas take, is it??

[@mow4it]

Little nervous watching in one part.
