mountain laurel were the flowers :)

Nice video. Heading there next week.

very good video thank you

I recommended the Prince William and Caledon Park in NoVA.

Ive been in the DC area for over 20 years and never visited that park. I am attempting to visit as many parks including the Skyline. Keep up the great work in exposing all the great parks in the DC, VA, MD and West VA!

If you are not in good shape, if you are not motivated, do not attempt this hike. Seems every time I go, some one who should not be there is holding everybody else up. Physically unable to do an obstacle or scramble, scared of heights, or just gassed out looking like they're about to have a heart attack. If you're not sure, take the fire road up, not the ridge trail.

Will go soon thanks for the info

Shenandoah National Park is my dad’s and my favorite place to go fishing for catfish.

We did this trip on our honeymoon 50 yers ago in may of 1974 ! great place when you were in your 20's we did not have any cost back then 👍

There is a walkway under the bridge that you can walk. Not sure when it is open. They also have a bridge day in October when you can jump from the bridge.

Need to go to Beauty Mt, best views

this was such a great video! i see you dont upload anymore but youre a natural, keep it up!

How long would it take you to park, hike to the 2 waterfalls, then back to the parking lot? Going this weekend, but on a tight timeline. THANKS! Great video.

Been on vacation in the Smokies 12 times for a week at a crack. Going again in June. It’s my happy place for sure!

Thank you. I will be going there and follow the same path you took! It makes my job a lot easier!!! Thanks for narrowing the trails. There is the luray Caverns nearby as well.

It is 2024 now and l wonder do you still have it and like it? By the way in Canada they go on special for $139 not less ❤

Hello, I found your video very helpful. We just returned from a four-day weekend, and your video was spotted on many things-even the Dark Hollow Falls path by the waterfall!!! We did a couple of hiking trails, but the weather was very windy and cold, but we enjoyed it. I just wanted to thank you for your video information, and happy hiking to you :).

Um ... It's a skeg. Skag is heroin ! The other dude called it a skep ! Are you guys all dyslexic ?1

Please tell more about camping there?

Thank you for sharing one day I’ll go there soon 😍

So beautiful 🥰

Thanks for the review! It helped me decide to buy it. I've taken it on two shake-down walks of 4 and 6 miles, with about 20 pounds of stuff in it, and I like it so far. Going to do the first seven sections of the Lone Star Trail next week to make sure I want to use it in the mountains this summer. FYI - The Lone Star Trail is very flat and very easy. If I don't like the Exos there, then I won't like it anywhere. Mine came with the hip-belt pockets, but the way they are fitted you almost need two hands to zip it back up once you unzip it. But at least it has them. Other reviews talked about how great the side pockets are, and that you can get your water bottle in and out without taking off the pack. Maybe it's because I am older and not so limber any more, but there is no way on earth I will ever be able to re-insert a one-liter water bottle with the pack on. On a plus note - I can get the water bottle out just fine without having to stop. All-in-all, I like the simplicity of the pack and look forward to using it. I'm hoping it is turns out to be comfortable on longer hikes. My other packs are the Osprey ACE 50 and the Ascend Rattlesnake 55. The ACE 50 is a lot like the Exos but with bottom zippered access to the main compartment and a main compartment divider. Very nice pack with plenty of torso adjustment. Perfect for a teen-ager who is still growing (my son uses it a lot). For anyone thinking about getting a Cabela brand pack, the Rattlesnake 55 is pretty nice. It is heavy by today's standards at 5.5 pounds, but it is VERY comfortable. There is definitely a weight vs comfort tradeoff factor that comes into play, but I'll carry extra weight any day if it means my back and neck don't hurt. 5.5 pounds sounds like a lot, but it is just about one-liter of water heavier than the Exos 58 L/XL. It has tons of pockets on it which makes it super easy to organize stuff, and the main compartment has zippered access from both sides, meaning you don't have to unload everything from the top to get to that item in the middle or bottom. I took the Ascend up to Cottonwood Lakes, slack-packed up to Whitney, and then finished up at Whitney Portal. I would do it again with that pack (FYI - that's me and my son in my profile picture on top of Whitney ). Sorry - pretty much got into a review of the Ascend. Thanks again for the review!

Do you still make videos?

I’m going to go this spring.

I went up in September & hiked The Alum Cave Trail. It was beautiful all the way to the village. There is a few dangerous spots where you only have a few feet of earth to walk along the side of the mountain. Be careful or take a harness. Most people just hold the wire. It’s worth the climb tho. Chimney Tops & Laura Falls was nice too. I’ve hiked them. I’m coming back in the spring for several days to hike more & travel a part of the blue ridge parkway.

How they reacted to covid?. mass hysteria in action. as a practice run it had its uses. but as a deadly world wide pandemic?. as to the best places to live, no place will be good as I see it. but the best chances are Europe and America as we both have the will and money to react to events.

Thank you for all your research. This is Great.

Did you look at precipitation? Rain and floods are also part of the climate crisis. Could you please also expand the list to more countries, because all of these countries are expensive to live in. Thank you.

5. Denmark 🇩🇰 4. Finland 🇫🇮 3. Sweden 🇸🇪 2. New Zealand 🇳🇿 1. Norway 🇳🇴 Agree with your list. 👌 Would move to any of these countries in a heartbeat. ❤️ Subbed.

Thank you for this video! We are planning to hike this trail next month during the fall season. We are very excited! What is the summit's overall elevation gain? Your video says 3291 ft and alltrails says 2600 ft. Is the elevation from a different viewpoint?

I would include cheap sneakers for wading, stepping on broken glass can really ruin a great day, ugh.

Did you hike solo? Did you have a cameramen? If you were your own cameramen, how did you set your camera?

Another great video Aman. I have thought of this subject and now find myself living on hard ground, well about sea level in Central New Zealand. Another place I consider a safer than average place is in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. Like NZ it's cool, well watered with hydro and wind power. Also a small population with some good soil is a bonus. The one unknown factor for Tasmania is it's close proximity to Melbourne, Australia's largest city. Well, I'm a citizen of both countries and its just a few air hours away. Aman, I wish you all the best with your inspiring videos.

Did you ever encounter any bears?

I’m going next month, thanks for sharing, great video!

3:36 can somebody Explain that

Which hike was your favorite here?

Great video!

Ive just bought k1, arrives in 2 days. All the youtube video's , comments and reviews sound like its going to be a great little piece to have!!

I’m 4’11. Do you think my miniature poodle can pit on this with me?

Just a couple comments. 1. From March-November, you must reserve your one-day Old Rag ticket. You can’t buy one at the trailhead. 2. The trails you covered are good, but usually very crowded during peak times. There are so many other trails that have waterfalls with numerous swimming holes; albeit they are more difficult hikes. 3. It is pronounced Front Royal, not Royale.😂 Thanks for sharing your visit.

What's his height. 5ft 8in woman did a review saying anyone taller would have issues.

Do you really need that inflatable part that goes in the front? What is the point of it?

I wasn't lucky with this model. Bought one from Amazon, it was not symetrical when inflated. Had a bigger belly on one side than the other. Was kinda out of balance when on the water. BRought it back and send to Amazon to trade for another equal model and it was in a worse shape. What was strange was the tension it got in that "belly" when the rest of the top volume wasn't that hard. So it blew up before I even got it on the water. Very frustrating. So I lost my trust on the model and returned it with my money back. But looking at your video made me think I was really unlucky...

Nice review

Very informative. Thank you!

Great review .. and cute guy!

How much have you paid to enter and camp in the park, can you camp in any area?

I was just there a week ago. We did chimney tops, clingman's dome, and laurel falls. Saw a bear and cub on the laurel falls hike. Chimney tops was the best hike but did have 1,200 feet of elevation gain. Clingman's dome has the best scenery on the right day. Laurel was a solid shorter hike.

Morning hiker for me to beat the crowds. Haven't tried evening though so maybe crowds die down at some point.
