I’m climbing the stairway to heaven | Pinhoti Trail Day 6

[@cribbage]

You should be an ambassador for this trail! Your videos make it look like one of the "must hike" destinations! Keep on truckin =)

[@MJG70]

I know. I was always told it was a trash trail

[@RickINFJ]

I agree Kelly, this would be a great AT shakedown hike. Cheers to your new sleeping bag. Flower footage was gorgeous. ✌️

[@florida-alaskasummer22driv62]

Loved those flowers, and the musical interludes. Nice choice.

[@user-David-Alan]

The flowers were awesome. My concept of Alabama has changed watching your videos. Thank you. Stay well.

[@kellyfromiowa1849]

Nothing better than seeing your smiling face against the background of that awesome scenery. Two beauties in one shot! Thanks for taking us along.

[@garyhog64]

I got chills seeing that view from the top after the Stairway to Heaven. I did it on a clear day, too, and it is simply stunning!! Thank you for showcasing my beautiful home state. Can't wait to see what's next!! I mean I know what's coming up. I just can't wait to see your videos and comments on it.

[@walteragentplummer7031]

Lovely scenery❤

[@MrMorton]

Truly amazing and beautiful! I'm stunned 😯

[@davidlooney3018]

Great video. Didn’t realize my home state had such views. Did a short stretch of the Pinhoti years ago in Boy Scouts but I don’t remember these views. Thanks for sharing

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

It’s beautiful out there. Have fun😊

[@franksheridan9322]

Love the hat brother on a few of those peaks on a clear day looking east you can see kennesaw big and small mnts.very close to where i live awesome to see your home area from so far away and hi tripod yaws have fun.

[@chuck7812]

The view from where you are camping to Cheaha are some of the best on the trail. Enjoy!

[@sarahr9181]

Beautiful views; as always, thank you so much for sharing!!

[@kovenant7]

Happy Trails!!

[@robmechanic]

You guys rocked it!! Beautiful scenery!! ❤

[@Joe-ub5rs]

This is my favorite part of the Pinhoti in AL, it's fun to see your video of a trail that I know all to well. It is my home state after all. Your take on it reminding you of the NY portion of the AT is a good one. I'm originally from NY and this is why I like this portion so much. It reminds me as well of parts of the AT in NY too. I've hike those sections many times as well.

[@larrypeake7632]

Miss Kelly, you and Tripod made the Stairway To Heaven look easy, though I know it was anything but. Great job!!!

[@ShaunMorris-f4y]

U all R crazy 😧 crazy awesome 👍 Nice pics.

[@frankfowlkes7872]

I love Cheaha and The Stairway to Heaven. That climb up "the rock garden" is always is a struggle for me but the views from the top are incredible. Thanks for posting!

[@SticksandStonesBJJ]

My wife and I will be there this weekend doing the Cheaha Wilderness 30 mile loop which includes the stairway to heaven!

[@LukeAndersson1]

Great video, well filmed and edited. Great to watch. Thanks

[@lauriegreenwood8946]

You will probably never see this as it’s a year later I’m watching. I found your channel and started watching your CDT hike. I’m from clay county and grew up in the valley of cheaha. Got married on top of Cheaha which is Alabama’s highest point. Good call on the chicken sandwich. It’s great to see you doing this area!

[@hallman321]

I had some catching up to do on these Pinhoti vids. Great footage and commentary as usual. Stay safe!

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Love the music you picked for this video🥰 Those views are so beautiful 🤣

[@Randee04]

Love your videos best!! Thank you!! xox

[@marklally90]

You are one in a million!

[@gregchristian9600]

You should stay at Park Lands Retread by Talladega, AL. Very cool campsite by the trail.

[@rockercover]

What a lifestyle hiking to all these places. Very unique physical / mental discipline challenge. ⭐️

[@anneoconnor3614]

Another beautiful day hiking !!!

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

Looks like a cold crisp morning out there

[@cwesley2005]

Great video Kellly, keep crushing it!

[@nancysatori4744]

Maybe I should try this before committing to the AT! I’ll probably just work on the GA sections of the AT as practice, I’m not far from the southern terminus. You should stop in when you’re done and let me take you to my favorite local day hike😊

[@derrekturner9713]

Hay Kelly, when y'all get to Cave Springs, GA, check out the Hearn Inn. During my Feb 2021 Pinhoti thru-hike, I zeroed there, and had a paranormal experience on the second night. It was very interesting. I read in their guest book that someone else mentioned having a similar experience. I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks, Kanati, AT08.

[@kellyhays23]

What room did you stay in?!

[@derrekturner9713]

@@kellyhays23 first room on the right, first floor.

[@DeRocco21]

kelly if you get poison ivy it is easier to wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. see if you can find alcohol wipes to carry just in case. Cheers!

[@rangerinthewoods]

In a tree by the brook there's a songbird that sings. If anyone out there has a line to Led Zeppelin tell them to give special permission for this young lady to use their music as needed.

[@robertbarnes4]

I hate poison ivy to. 😂😂 nice views.!

[@leedanielson7452]

I’ve been thinking about becoming a through hiker… it really looks like a lot of work, so I wonder what the pay is???🤨💰💰💰

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

..That depends ,,how much you got ?? ..

[@leedanielson7452]

@@rockytopwrangler2069 🤣Not enough….😏

[@NeroHikes]

Your going to love Cheaha get ready for bolder hoping. You can camp by a wrecked plane if you want.

[@stephenlamphier1141]

Been over that bridge going up to 600-1 more than once lol

[@sdc4405]

It totally sucks that the restaurant closed. It was really nice to have supper and take in the views. Makes no sense to me why there hasn't been an effort to reopen it. Cheaha SP isn't very close to anywhere else...which is great...but blows if you'd like to have a nice meal and not have to drive. Last grip...they should take the word "restaurant" off all the signs if they haven't already.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with some good views 😂so let's keep on hiking 😊.

Psalm 98:8 Love it, Glory be to God.

[@robertdean1579]

Well at least there was some Virginia Creeper (non-allergenic) mixed in there with that poison ivy. I really hope you don't get a rash. I wish more hikers would bring a spray bottle of Roundup with them and keep the trail clear of it.

[@Randee04]

No! Never that horrid stuff!!! There are so many better and natural options that haren't harmful to other flora and fauna and people. #downwithroundup

[@fuquaysteve271]

Can not get the song 'Poison Ivy' out of my head. Thanks.

[@fuquaysteve271]

And of course Stairway to Heaven..

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

Kelly I hate to say it but when you get done this Trail you to go to all the all-you-can-eat buffet

[@ralphmaddox-kk4mj]

"...and as we wind on the road, our shadows taller than our souls,THERE WALKS A LADY WE ALL KNOW...."

[@wendypelaez9305]

Nice music

[@russhay422]

They need to bring some goats through there to eat up that ivy.

[@pdr0603]

Pro tip - use someones else's stove - hilarious

[@snapperpetta9145]

I don't mind challenges but why would you want to hike a trail that's covered with poison ivy? Especially with your sensitivity to it? You're a better person than me! Until next time...be well.

[@user-zl6cl1ql3n]

Your going to be lucky if you don't get the poison ivy

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Use someone else's stove ✔️ 😂
