      @@SlonesWildernessExpeditions It's funny that even though I live in Indiana that with exception of Michigan I haven't done much in the surrounding states but have traveled hundreds and a few times Thousands of Miles to see weird places or hike in State or National Parks. This will be on my list for Kentucky when we go. I know that Mammoth Cave is one of the parks That we have been wanting to go to so the Kentucky list just got a little bigger. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

    What a great park, man, I cannot believe nobody else was there with you but I guess the heat keeps people away. Such gorgeous scenery and yes, the Smokey Bridge was enormous. That dome was incredible to see on the inside top too. Highly enjoyed watching!

      Thanks Jason! The park has a campground, and also there are some backcountry campsites along the 4C's trail, but they do require reservations. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

      I can't believe Backpacking With Jason has never been to Carter Caves State Park. Be sure to check out Grayson Lake while you are in Carter County. It is the best lake to Kayak in Kentucky with lots of cliffs and waterfalls.

    Wow...unbelievable to see this crack just above you...2:24
    Thank you so much for the explanation about the natural stone arches...2:55..it does make sense.
    Again, appreciate distinguishing between arches and stone bridges...3:28..didn't know until now.
    Yes, this is very unique shaped...4:33
    I cannot imagine how heavy this rock is...5:37...robust image...I wonder it will change shape as it weathered and aged..
    OMG, yes rooftop is as if it may fall down...7:21😲
    Very informative and professionally documented.
    It was nice chatting with you. Yasmin is a wonderful UK hiker as well.
    We just laughed about Rob's "Fat Man Squeezer." It was coincidental and hilarious because I just had a video" Will she Leap" including "Fat Man Squeeze" and "Needle Nose" in it at kayak7seas.
    I am planning a kayaking trip to the Great Lakes next year. I saw your hiking video in Michigan. Do you have a preference for me to watch?
    Thank you.🥰🥰🚣‍♀🚣‍♀

      Thanks for watching! We've only been hiking in Michigan that one time earlier this year, but we hope to get up to more places in the future. Even though we live in Indiana, it is a LONG drive to get to some of the best places in Michigan.

    I would put this hike in my top 5 in KY. I hope you took the short hike from the visitor center to Natural Bridge. It is an arch with a road over top. It is just a short quarter mile hike to a fourth arch.

    Mantle rock in Kentucy is the longest natural arch east of the Mississippi River. It's not as wide as smokey bridge, and it's only 30' tall.
