Alum Cave Trail To Mount Leconte | Best Day Hikes In Tennessee | Best Views In The Smoky Mountains
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2020
- Mount LeConte is the third highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did the Alum Cave Trail to Mount LeConte recently and it was absolutely beautiful. It offers some of the most amazing views of the Smokies. It is a highly popular trail but if you're ever in the Great Smoky Mountains it is worth the almost 11-mile hike. The Mount LeConte Lodge stays booked but when we get the chance we will be staying there. It is a popular hike for a reason. We loved it!

Wow at the water level! I’ve hiked this trail several times and the most recent (last September) it rained on us all the way up and then stopped. But the water levels weren’t as high as when y’all did this video. It wasn’t crowded but there were others on the trail. Just not a lot. Days like that can seem inconvenient but my wife will always say at the end of the day that she’s so happy we made the hike.
This was a great day of hiking! Still one of our favorites 😁
You're right sometimes hiking in the rain can get rid of the crowds and sometimes it pays off!
We got a few more routes up Mount LeConte and then we can say we've been to all of them.
So Beautiful! We drive by there 2 to 3 times a year and have never stopped. You are right, it is crazy crowded. Hope to do that trail one day. Thanks for sharing!
It is worth the hike! Amazing views all the way to the top! Thank you for watching!
Wow, beautiful scenery.
It is a peaceful and beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing the video. 😀
Thanks for watching!
Terrific video. I love hiking in the rain. So much water. Awesome. I wish we had some rain here. Next video I want to see Nick carrying Rachel on his back in a chair. LOL.
I really enjoy hiking in the rain and the fog probably my favorite time to hike! Love the Moody hikes. Well hopefully you get some soon! Hey I carried her across two or three rivers and then we got to that one and the rocks seemed pretty slippery so she had to walk the rest of the way lol Thanks for watching!
What an awesome trail! I wish I could hike there!
Hopefully one day you get the chance it's beautiful! Thanks for watching
Overall, your video is so cool. Especially, the trees stretched out by the side of the road are so beautiful. I'm glad to subscribe to your great channel. From Woongkham, a South Korean CZcamsr.
🤗🤗🤗💝💝💝💘
Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and subscribing we appreciate it!
Wet and slippery terrain, gushing waters and dark cave and steep steps. A great hike!!
Checks a lot off the list for an amazing Trail! Thanks for watching
That's definitely a plus with the rain = no crowds. Glad it cleared at the summit. 👍 I like the cozy tree farm description. 😀 Another great ASMR hike. 💪 Cool fact about the lodges. Well done.
This was easily our favorite of 2020! We got extremely lucky alltrails app said this was the number 6 busiest Trail in the US this year. And we were there practically alone so we were extremely lucky. Thanks for watching.
Some times all you need is a good hike in the rain, so awesome
I've been trying to tell people hiking in the rain is nice! Thanks for watching 🙂
Once again great vid. Aww you two are so lucky! Bless your next adventure!
Thank you we appreciate that! Definitely put it on your list if you're ever in the area. Thanks for watching
Hello Nick and Rachel. I grew up in Blount County, and hiked year round when I was younger. The last time I was on Mt. LeConte we day hiked it on my 30th birthday. I'll be 65 soon and have had three knee surgeries. I never thought that I'd be able to get back up that trail. Your video took me back. I saw things that remember that are basically unchanged in almost 35 years. I still hike at Big South Fork, you should go there. The trails are not nearly as steep as GSMNP. Thanks a million and you earned another subscriber. DB.
Thanks for sharing that! Glad we could take you back down memory lane 🙂 so glad our videos can do that for people. It sure is an amazing hike as you know!
We'll have to get out that way one day for sure! Thanks for watching and subscribing we really appreciate it 🙂 remember to hit that notification Bell we uploaded videos weekly.
Fun video guys. Walking in the rain certainly has it's advantages. Love how Rachel said it was like walking through a Christmas tree farm. Nature is awesome.
We find it quite relaxing when it's not lightning. I really did smell exactly like a Christmas tree farm! It was beautiful. Glad you enjoy the video thanks for watching!
Awesome trail love the sound of the water and the beautiful trees. Keep safe .
It really is peaceful all the way to the top! Thanks for watching
Wow!!! This is great!! the sound of water it’s so nice.. thanks for sharing this my friend..
It was like that pretty much all the way to the cave and then you got the peaceful wind noise all the way to the top! Thanks for watching!
Wow what a beautiful landscape.
Great hike and video.
Beautiful shots.
A really like that.
greetings and support from Thuringia Marco & Racoon
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching
My favorite trail in the Smokies. I did this one a couple years ago but it was so foggy I couldn't see much near the top. Great shots of the scenery along this epic hike.
Got to love that Great Smoky Mountain weather! Lol. We're really glad it cleared up at the top so we could see something. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful rainy day hike! The views are stunning!
Thanks for watching!
Pity the weather wasn't better. Still made for a great experience. Cup of tea at the end would be the BEST! Subscribed guys 😀
We really enjoy hiking in weather like that. As long as it's not thundering and lightning. But it did clear up and turn out to be a beautiful day! We usually try to get tacos after a long hike like that. Thanks for watching and subscribing we really appreciate it!
wow stunning view and yes that's right a very peaceful place
Really is beautiful up there!
You both are brave. Rain isn't fun, but it looks like it worked out! The trail after Alum up to LeConte looks awesome! We definitely have more people we saw when we went.
To be honest with you as it's like that I really enjoy hiking in the rain! A plus side it keeps most people at home. Thanks for watching we appreciate!
Amazing and beautiful with beautiful hikers! Nice video very inviting tho
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching
Wet hike, tough hike but still a great hike. Great watch and I had to LOL when you told of the guy when had his mother on his back, now that is a tough hike lol, cheers Alan
One of our favorite hikes! We love that weather. We did too when we heard that story lol.
This is a bit advanced for us, but WOW!!!! How amazing are those views and the flora and fauna?!?! Maybe in a year or two we’ll be built up to that level but thank you so much for giving us something to work towards!
Whenever you do start it just start really early take plenty of water and some snacks! It was beautiful hope you get to do it one day 🙂
Very nice video, my friends! Have a great weekend!
Thank you we appreciate that! You as well
Great hike! And great video! Awesome that you got it mostly to yourself. Thats a popular hike.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our Channel! Really is beautiful there if you ever get the chance definitely go. Thanks for watching!
@@NickandRachel You are much welcome!
I was in Tennessee visiting a friend back in May of 2013 and we got to the top of Mt. Leconte via this route. However, this video is the first time I have actually seen the view from the top. When I was there, it was so foggy at the top we could see absolutely nothing. I was struck by the overall lushness of vegetation, especially as compared to the rocky and forbidding western mountains where I come from. It seemed like every square inch of ground was covered by some kind of vegetation. Anyway, terrific video and wonderful footage. -CT
Really was an epic hike definitely one of our favorites so far! In the springtime is extremely green and beautiful. The only other place it rains more in the u.s. is the Pacific Northwest. We really thought it was going to be foggy when we got to the top as well but got lucky! Really glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Gorgeous hike!! So cool to have it basically all to yourselves.
if you're willing to hike in the rain most of the time you get beautiful Trails like that all to yourself! Thanks for watching
Beautiful place even its raining
We really enjoy hiking in the rain so doesn't bother us at all. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome 👏. I subscribed your channel and set reminders, too. I also agree with you that the beauty of the nature is worth enjoying in any seasons and in any weather.
Awesome we really appreciate that! Can't wait to get back there and experience the trail in the springtime! Love the different looks Trails can bring out with different weather. Thanks for watching!
Such a cute couple you two. Going up Mt. Leconte for the first time today after Mass and seeing this video make me wanna go-right now, and its only 4:49 am lol

Yeah Trails that have Rivers Running next to them are always the best! This Trail basically had everything you could ask for! So beautiful can't wait to go back and do the other routes up the mountain. You should definitely go if you ever get the chance! Thanks for watching 😀

I wish I can hike there someday, looks very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you get the chance! It's awesome. Everything you would want in a hike! Thanks for watching 😁
@@NickandRachel You’re Welcome!
11:20 Incredible View! For this hike, the rain would definitely scare off the "Instagram Hikers" which made it all better for those willing to hike in the rain. Then you pushed through and were rewarded with views like this. Can't wait to do this hike soon! Thanks for sharing your adventure! Cheers
The views were amazing all the way to the top! Favorite hike we've done in the Smokies so far. You'll love it! You should definitely plan a trip to do that one soon maybe after winter probably a lot of ice up there right now. We really enjoy hiking in that kind of weather so it don't bother us at all. Glad you enjoyed the video man thanks for watching!
@@NickandRachel It might be fun to do this in the snow? Actually, I know you took a spill at Waterrock Knob, so maybe I should hold off until Spring.I injured my foot and now knee so I should prob wait until I heal up a bit. This trail looks awesome and you guys did a great job to document it. Keep up the great videos! Cheers
Honestly, I would love to do it in the snow! Even after that fall I took last year it took a few months to heal but it's better now. I also was really unprepared for that trip didn't expect snow or ice. That won't happen again lol yeah I would say if your knee is hurting just hold off on the more sketchy hike until it heals up that's what I did. Thanks!
Very inspiring (: thanks for sharing, subcribed already (:
Thanks we appreciate that!
Loved it. it's good trail
Thanks for watching!
Another great video 😃 looking forward to the next one ♥️
Well thank you we really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!

Rain to snow to sun all in one hike! You guys really earned those epic views on this hike! And really, the clouds/mist/rain/snow/fog all create such a dramatically more interesting visual experience than boring ol' blue sky! Thanks for sharing. This trail is definitely going on my to-do list!

What a great hike! Plenty of greens along the way, many cascades and waterfalls, foggy, this is like a perfect trail!! Enjoyed this one very much! Also the brief sneak peek into the history was really interesting. It’s always nice to know more about the past hidden behind. Thank you for sharing this wonderful trail. Have a nice evening guys ✨
Oh yeah, we really enjoy these types of hikes! We always try to find out the history of wherever we're at makes it more interesting we think. Really glad you enjoyed the video🙂 we had an amazing time out there glad we got to share it!
@@NickandRachel Looking forward to more content like this. Adding a slice of history like this would be very nice 😊 I’m always keen about those things during the hikes (also gives some time to take a small break 😅)
We've been uploading for a little while now so when you get the chance if you want to you can check out some of our older stuff we usually upload weekly. Definitely make the good excuse to stop for a rest 🤣😂
@@NickandRachel I’d definitely check them out. Thank you 🙏🏼

I can't believe I missed this beautiful video, Nick you're completely right, hiking in the rain can be just as good as hiking in blazing sunlight because just look at the lovely atmospheric lighting you had in those views. Really lovely videography too. Rachel's enthusiasm for the landscape was infectious! All the best - Martin
Really does bring out a whole new look! Really enjoy that Moody feel also probably my favorite time to go on a hike! We were blown away by that trail that was beautiful everything was perfect! Hit the notification Bell so you don't miss any more if you haven't already. Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
