Hiking Chimney Rock State Park, North Carolina

[@moondancer5115]

Mountains to the West, ocean to the East...NC is beautiful!

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes it is. Can't wait to go back

[@sterlingpless4335]

Beautiful but SC is just as fucking beautiful

[@sterlingpless4335]

Plus, GA has Tybee and Savannah plus Atlanta

[@nielgregory108]

I live a few hours away, within eyeshot, and am ashamed to have never visited Chimney Rock. Thanks for the tour, it inspired to get up there asap!

[@robertagabor3736]

Well now, there you go!

[@lifeonthegowithangela1405]

Chimney Rock is beautiful and used to offer an amazing Clifftops Trail Hike that was literally along the highest clifftop and took you to the top of Hickory Nut Falls. Unfortunately, it has been closed. We love to hike Chimney Rock in the winter when it snows. It's even more beautiful! Thank you for the wonderful videos. I always enjoy your travel, music and commentary!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you Angela. Glad you liked it

[@gardensofthegods]

Life on the Go with Angela Do you know why it has been closed

[@jellyjamforever]

This is my hometown. Thank you for visiting

[@SocratesWS]

Hi robert, greeting from jakarta, indonesia. . Its a very2 nice , and very well done robert , cant wait to see another vid from you, hope another one coming soon, tq for sharing with us robert.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it

[@sengyang6780]

My family had been visiting this place in 2010 what a beautiful park.

[@debbiewerner7124]

Wow. That’s was quite the hike. I’m impressed ❤

[@dorisshanks7295]

Hi Robert! You made it to Chimney Rock, NC.! That was a great video. One of your best! Awesome views! We did not do the trails as my sister has COPD and gets out of breath easily. I would have loved to get up there but I am not sure I could have made it either at age 85. Had ice cream at the gem mining place on the river. Yum! On the deck overlooking the rocky river. At Lake Lure we walked across the bridge of flowers. Lovely! Then took the boat tour on the lake which cost $13 and was well worth it. Very relaxing and the pilot is a good narrator. Exploring the rocks on the river running right behind the shops in the village is a must do. Dinner at the restaurant on Rte 9 overlooking the lake with great food! Yes you will have to come back again to Chimney Rock. One of the most amazing places in North Carolina.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, I have to go back and do all that. I will stay at the campground next time. It seems like there is so much to do in that area

[@dorisshanks7295]

Insurance covered all my rv repairs and more, even a week at a hotel. Pays to get full timer's insurance. You would never know it ever happened.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Nice video. I used to climb all over Chimney Rock as a small child.

[@TravelingRobert]

Cool, thanks!

[@mikegregorycharles6600]

Hi! Greetings from the Philippines! As always thanks for letting me travel with you through your videos.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Mike Gregory Charles You're welcome. Greetings.

[@laurafoote214]

we were just there last Friday July 2024, we drove to the first parking lot and they now have an elevator to the top with the flag, nice park.

[@michaelrains2268]

Oh my soooooooo beautiful and majestic. Can only amagion the sunrise from there !☺

[@TravelingRobert]

Sunrise would be great. I wonder if they let you overnight at the park

[@lorrainei.1667]

There has been a tradition of a sunrise service being held there every Easter.

[@cia1204]

Such beautiful scenery! Love your sense of humor.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@rogerchouinard3180]

Beautiful landscapes of the mountains and hicking! Thank you Robert for sharing with us!

[@methings287]

Thanks for the video. Just what I was looking for. We are going there this weekend on our way to Cherokee. Our first trip in our 29ft trailer. Hopefully we'll be able to make it fine.

[@danielw.7705]

Were there any restrictions because of COVID-19? BF and I are interested in going but are concerned about too close of proximity to other people

[@methings287]

@@danielw.7705 Yes, but only a few. Only one person at a time in the information center. No trolley service to the upper parking lot. That upper parking lot would make the hike less strenuous for the elderly or if someone is taking kids. Everything else was open. Enjoy.

[@o2bnov0307]

I used to live in North Carolina. Thank you for the beautiful pictures! I can almost taste the pork BBQ!

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@almamorales4158]

Beautiful North Carolina.

[@TravelingRobert]

Beutiful

[@gregfm27]

I was there last week. The Exclamation Trail is now open. If you're not in that good of shape like I am at the moment I would take the elevator to Chimney Rock. Then from there hike the Exclamation Point Trail. On the way back down don't take the elevator so you didn't miss anything hiking back to the gift shop.

[@SimplyM2523]

Very Nice places, I like how you talk in your videos, my family is your fan, we watched a lot of your videos!

[@cathycahoe6888]

I would need a drink after driving on that road....Thanks Robert

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, I did, when we arrived in Charlotte :-)

[@jerryneil22]

thanks for this video...im going next week...thanks robert

[@TravelingRobert]

Enjoy!

[@travels2alejogarcia391]

Y déjeme decirle q también usted es muy buen chófer ...usted maneja muy bien ...lo felicito por eso también. ..

[@TravelingRobert]

Oh, gracias

[@yvesfleche1782]

bon dimanche encore une belle vidéo

[@garyself2284]

Very beautiful park and you tell a fantastic story. The best park video I have seen. We live in Shelby, NC, about an hour drive down, towards Charlotte. We camped the a couple times a year when we had our camper, and by tent also. The shop at the level of the rock caught fire a while, that’s the renovation reason. There is an elevator carved inside the solid rock, that goes from the lower lot up to and exits inside the shop at the top. Even if you don’t need it, ride it because it’s a marvel on its own. Again, loved the video and narrative. Hope you make it back.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, glad you liked it, and yes I would love to go back one of these days and stay at the campground

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Awesome video 👍🏼 Robert !!! I have never been to Chimney Rock that’s so cool !!! I have a phobia I’m kinda scared of heights lol !!! Thanks for sharing

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. I was an awesome place... so much to do

[@FilipinaVanLifeAubry]

Nice trail I wanna visit there one day. Greetings from Texas

[@defrocker]

Along with Chimney Rock being one of the sites for Last Of The Mohicans, Lake Lure is one of the sites for Dirty Dancing.

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

Great Video and a good work out! I felt tired just watching you climb!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Good exercise for sure

[@jodi2570]

AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

[@johnlawson4980]

Thanks for your video. A fan, John

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

thanks Robert for the preview. now i won't go in my 32' Class C, too narrow, too many steps. may rent a car and go. i'll be back in NC mid Nov.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, that road was a little scary. Next time I'll leave the trailer down at the Hickory Nut Falls campground

[@benjaminwagner8141]

I think I saw one of your Kentucky videos, I love the commentary

[@Berrypancakes229]

Beautiful hike. 😊👍❤️

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes it was. Thank you!

[@rvninnorthcarolina3377]

Fun fact, SCCA used to have a race called the Chimney Rock Hill Climb. I pit crewed for a guy who ran in in the early 90's which was one of the last races to be held. The race ran from 1956 to 1995 I think, and there has been some talk in bringing it back but I think the lawyers and Insurance carriers think different. The start line was at the meadows and ran all the way to the top where the parking is for the entrance to "the rock". It was a timed event so there was no "wheel to wheel racing, just solo time trials....different classes of cars competed for the best time in their class. Imagine doing that drive at speed! Drivers would run off and stop on top of the trees below...if they were lucky. Obviously they do not do that anymore.... I think there are videos on YT if you are curious....

[@TravelingRobert]

Cool. I would have never imagined that. I'll look it up

[@kathysmith1269]

Get high off the scenery lol Hoping to go to cherokke too Thanks for sharing

[@bergmanstrook]

Nice video, beautiful nature.

[@DizTraveler]

Wow...ser! I am amazed that you took the "strenuous" trail going down....I could hear a lot of the commenting going down...also loved the SUBWAY -- but don't think I could do that.

[@TravelingRobert]

Not so strenuous going down but I was exhausted by then

[@kenslimmer5251]

Great video, I love your commentary. Thank you for sharing.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@Steve-so4zi]

I re-watched this after Hurricane Helene did so much damage to the area (I watched several videos taken of the area). So much damage, and I hope they can rebuild much better.

[@TravelingRobert]

I hope so too

[@itr0863]

another masterpiece tio. awesome as always.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@HookLineSinker4343]

Very enjoyable Robert! I love to hear you say North Carolina! lol.. :)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks! Did I say it wrong?

[@HookLineSinker4343]

No! It's your wonderful accent! :)

[@mitzir3873]

Me encanto to video, pot in minuto, crei que eras Antinio Banderas por tu voz y el asento! Gracias

[@TravelingRobert]

Ha, si me han dicho que se parece la voz

[@TamaraChaos]

I just posted a video where I visited Whitewater State Park. The trail I went on is Chimney Rock in St. Charles, Minnesota. I have lived in NC before. I am looking forward to watching this.

[@gardensofthegods]

Wow really incredible and this is only my second video I've seen by you since I discovered you about an hour ago and I am going to subscribe I also just put this video in my list of favorites. Thank you so much for taking the time to get this on film for us to enjoy

Hello Robert from Portland ,Oregon.Columbia River Gorge.

[@shirleycopeland5888]

Love all of your videos!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@laurakorhan4178]

Hi Robert, wanted to say I adore your videos and your calming narrating. Especially loved the Chimney Rock video as I’m a native NC girl. But wanted to tell you that the end credits have it listed as Chimney Rock, SC. Could you let people know that it’s in the beautiful NORTH Carolina mountains not the South Carolina ones, 😂. A bit of rivalry exists between the states lol. Thanks brother.

[@susie3893]

Nice dressed guys had probably been to a wedding at the Lake Lure Inn across the road from the lake.

[@TheLemminkainen]

Great video Robert :)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@coffeestocks3571]

awesome video

[@markfinley8921]

Great video Robert.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Mark Finley Thank you

[@michaelmatyas8294]

Revisiting Your Video to see Chimney Rock as it was before the Devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. The Village is Severely Damaged and all the Businesses past the Old Rock Cafe were completely washed away. The Mayor vows They will rebuild and that Process has already begun. They are already working on Rebuilding the Road into Chimney Rock that was washed away.

[@ShredTrailsYT]

Just subscribed you're a frickin hoot!

[@senecamcmillian]

Love your camera mount

good luck to you

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@philo2808]

[@goldtopazasylum]

Nice video 🙂

[@rachelramos5380]

We just been there two weeks ago.

[@gabrielaabril456]

Lovely place ;)

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes it is

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

You didn't go to the Top? Exclamation Point is amazing! Too bad the Cliff Trail is closed. Last of the Mohicans finally was filmed on that trail.

[@1970boobear]

Very enjoyable. You guys really got a workout! What was the temp when you were hiking? Happy travels 😎

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks! It wasn't too bad in the shade. Probably mid 80s

[@robertagabor3736]

I thought Chimney Rock is in North Carolina but maybe I was thinking of Blowing Rock.

[@JoeDoeOutdoors]

Hey great channel ☺ Keep it up!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

Videos are getting closer to our meet up. lol

[@TravelingRobert]

Coming up next :-)

Did I?

[@rockroll9473]

Yes you did!

[@mikedarden4357]

Does you wife get scared doing the hikes?

[@tragedytrousers1769]

I didn't see any Motorhomes up there

[@TravelingRobert]

I was the only RV, but they do have that large parking for them if the dare to go

[@IamMagsB]

you sound like Antonio Banderas

[@rickylewis4443]

Yes dangerous for others when you are driving.

[@TravelingRobert]

That too

[@progamernascarandmore4852]

Can you do a video and thanks also I'm going to the keys

[@TravelingRobert]

Enjoy the Keys!

[@nathanp8509]

Can you camp there?

[@TravelingRobert]

There's a campground next to the river

[@gregfm27]

There is Hickory Nut Gorge Campground which is about a mile or 2 northwest from the Entrance to Chimney Rock Campground. Didn't stay there but spoke with the owner who was really nice. There are camp sites on the river that looked really nice but they are kind of close to each other and rather small. If you booked the sites on the river either choose the sites at either end or reserve 2 sites right next to each other. Didn't really check out the other camping sites away from the Broad River.

[@9mmjames653]

Very nice. But you did sound tired lol

[@TravelingRobert]

Hmmm, maybe I was

[@progamernascarandmore4852]
