“Wildly beautiful” is right! What a gorgeous hike you had today! And oh, my, gosh, the belch!!🤣

[@fitcwebb]

When your hat goes backwards, you know things have gotten tough....and I like how getting over the crest included a belch and hocking a loogie in this edit. The downhill always brings out the release 😆

[@RickINFJ]

The trees look like skyscrapers against those behemoth mountains. So beautiful. 11:43

[@stacks.23]

Whooooaaa that scenery is insane. Very cool to tag along. Y’all are awesome

[@fredcarter7003]

The most amazing scenery and the best part is no cars no houses and no neighbors

[@AbleHammer]

That was a makeshift coral for a horse or two

[@maxxcherry12]

Dang… my ankles hurt watching that one! what a trail looks awesome kels!!

[@randyerickson2154]

Talk about amazing. Wish you had a 4K cam to film it all. Rock on Kelly.

[@russhay422]

[@kellyhays23]

It happens everyday lolol

[@juhasakari725]

[@charlesjohnson9662]

[@adammorgan-dx3fb]

[@dancoursey5447]

Outstanding. Hope you start feeling better soon.

[@oldwagon-pens]

When you started to slide I jumped.I wasn't expecting that. I thought you were going down for sure.I hope you feel better.

[@steve34326]

With mountain country like that it could only be a song from a scottish band 🏞....... In a big country by big country, can`t beat being in the mountains........ 😎😸

[@jasonjones5213]

The whole trail is beautiful so far.

[@richardthorne2804]

Kelly you and your hiking family are so awesome and I’m just loving these videos to death. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Just said a prayer for you and your team to stay healthy. Enjoy and God Bless!!

[@vintagejunktofunk4616]

Wow girl those views are breathtaking!!! You’re such an inspiration

[@maxmillion4216]

You aren't over that cold yet.....cool looking scenery so far.

[@mikehawk3152]

Hit the oxygen!❤

[@andrewsmith8015]

Wow. Can there possibly be a more scenic part of the USA than that? Just amazingly beautiful.

[@BafMilr052]

Today’s views were incredible. I can’t begin to pick my faves. Love your comfort to just burp and spit on camera. As a Mom of three adult sons, you would fit into our family nicely 😂

[@damonr-fk5rp]

That thing you guys were looking at around 8:30 looked like it might've been a temporary corral? Maybe people driving a small amount of cattle thru?

[@RJ-ix4co]

I would love to do the north side of this trail! So beautiful. ❤. Also, I love that green hoodie you wear at camp. What is that? Looks super comfy

[@kellyhays23]

From farpointe outdoor gear

[@Stevin523]

You did the "hawk tuah” 💀

[@kellyhays23]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@jhayft0703]

You all are awesome and seems like you are having the time of your life!!!! ❤🎉

[@robertkeller5930]

Steep as Hotshot/Smokejumper country. Got paid 5 summers to hike them thar hills.

[@brucemartin2882]

Some plants are natural insect repellent. Beauty Berry and wax Myrtle may not grow there I'm in the swamps of Florida

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

WOW!!! Just WOW!! There are no words!!! The beauty of that area is 😍😍😍😍😍

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Wow the views are incredible all around you. Try not to push yourself too hard getting over that crud! You definitely don’t want to relapse.

[@patrickrobertsohm3793]

Beautiful scenery but I would be so afraid of meeting an aggressive bear.....Hello from Sweden...

[@deannefalise2784]

Loved the burp followed by the loogie! 🤣🤣 The scenery is so beautiful. Some of the best yet. Loving all the colorful flowers. Have a good night wherever u are!

[@user-David-Alan]

Stay strong. Great views. Thank you. Stay well and safe.

[@lonelycrescendo]

The scenery in this area always makes me cry

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Kelly! Gorgeous country! What no Griz? 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱

[@stephenkenny7661]

SAVAGE HOODIES...both of them!!!

[@renoflames]

Glad all of you are OK. God Bless all of you.

[@dannyjamison8337]

That was some crazy 'Blair Witch' sh*t going on there! 😧

[@johndonahue4777]

This golden church we have seen. It's thousand spires of evergreen. And sad we have to hike away. Trading day for night then night for day.

[@markstanton2362]

Surprised you didn't spot a grizzly today. Prime grizz country. Stay safe. Keep your bear spray with you everywhere.

[@fitnessfreak498]

great vids go illinois

[@docforsberg7511]

Remember everyone is ten times as cool as you in them hills.. Especially them shallow peak counters. They have good stuff that they have to much of. “Shit where did I put that no I forgot, too much skunk. At least.. wheres my stash?”

[@kleenexhikes]

Fireweed! So beautiful!

[@waltlongmire5832]

You’ve had a lot of guys in the comments mention your beauty and profess their love for you, and I’ve always found it to be a little weird, but man… When you burped and hocked a loogie in the same clip, I’ve got to have your number.

[@richardross7219]

Good decision to stop at that site. When you get too fatiqued, you make mistakes. Good video. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@MattAustinonYouTube]

My homie Buddy the Badger told me he was minding his own business when all the sudden Kelly Hays hit him with a wild hawk tuah outta nowhere at 11:45 so had to come see it for myself😂

[@tonythilmany4014]

Wow..God is so amazing..very few people get to experience the true wonders of nature..I love this journey you are taking us on..thank you!!

[@bryanford1139]

O boy,...Jumpin' on the Hauk Tuah bandwagon, eh?? 😁 'ol fashioned family channel no more!!

[@MH-nz4mv]

God must be Bob Ross✌️

[@tommyamaya4254]

Love the burb and the spit

[@nam_hn]

Have you met any NOBO hiker? If you went NOBO, would you be able to see all the beauty CDT has to offer?

[@kellyhays23]

Yes we met a lot through this section actually! & yes you would just have to time it differently

[@ephraimgarrett4727]

A girl who knows how to hock a loogie. Be still my heart. 😆😆😆

[@jss2655]

Yall got some hard bugs! Drop more water bottles

[@jss2655]

If it's open they'll fly in there Kell.

[@hh-jy1ld]

Real life DayZ

[@FubarKen]

Assuming some horses died climbing over that pass?

[@johndonahue4777]

I can't remember.

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

How have you all not ran into bears or elk through this? even moose prior to Flagg?

[@martinmoss317]

There's a "hawk Tuah" joke in there somewhere- but I'm not going to make it. I hope that your chest congestions is easing.

[@kellyhays23]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@darrenb3551]

Great views! God is awesome!

[@johndonahue4777]

That Mexican restaurant is following Kelly. Maybe lingering listeria.

[@johndonahue4777]

​@@moltenlabI love Mexican food. It's not about everything and everything else. Just worried about Kelly. Maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic should go in every wilderness hikers first aid kit. They're a long way out there. . .

[@leesekula]

Thanks for the vision's of GODS creation of are planet . We must all learn to live in PEACE or parish.

[@iggyrojano1978]

😍

[@walteragentplummer7031]

Still early on being bear food😂😂❤❤😇

[@lonelycrescendo]

Why is there always so much hate and passive aggressiveness in the comments 😑

[@kellyhays23]

I love it!! Motivation all dat

[@johndonahue4777]

Statistically there are only eleven people left on planet Earth that don't have one personality disorder or another and I'm not feeling too well myself. So try not to wear your heart on your sleeve where the pinheads can get their deformed knuckles on it.

[@Jaxon1776]

You are extra silly in this video

[@tonybabb2540]

They will not make it to the end of the CDT. that is obvious.

[@kellyhays23]

😂

[@jhayft0703]

Neither will you when you stay home or are a couch potato. Have you ever seen any of Kelly’s videos? She’s tough. She probably out hike you any day.

[@tonybabb2540]

@@kellyhays23 Love your channel though.
