Must See! Laurel Falls in Hampton, Tennessee

[@odysseyeduardo]

Saw your van at the wal-mart a week ago! You are the first other KZbinrs I've come across, so I had to come here and enjoy your vids! 👍 Been a few years since I hiked to Laurel Falls. Last time I went up there the trail stayed along the river so there was not much elevation gain. I wonder why they made the trail harder? Those are indeed some beautiful falls, but too popular and crowded at times (not as crowed as the blue hole falls can get I saw in you community post). As far as waterfalls go the most difficult ones I have seen, are not on any trails or maps. I find those are the most beautiful, not because they are the biggest, but because they are for the most part untouched. I'm a solo hiker who is mostly off trail and have found quit a few over the decades. I never tell anyone where they are to keep them pristine. I understand that not everyone can get out into the really deep forest(It is a bit more dangerous than a trail. LOL) so I am glad there are places like Laurel Falls. If you want another beautiful water fall to see check out Laurel Run Park in Hawkins county. There are several waterfalls on the trails there, and are less difficult to get to! I was out there not long ago, It's worth it! Any way, the sign on your van worked and you got another viewer! 👍👍

That definitely looks worth the effort. What a pretty area! It reminds me of the Ithaca/Watkins Glen, NY area.

I grew up in Carter county and you are correct
