We were there at the beginning of Nov so that is why the leaves are still on the trees. We tend to shoot a few videos at a time and then release once a week. Now, it’s time to get back out for another series of hikes. Thanks for watching and your continued support. Cheers
@@MagellanandGreyhound yep! It’s tough to go out every weekend, shoot, edit and release in the same week. I did that for a while and almost burnt out. Now, I’m working through a knee injury now but plan to get back out next weekend.
We got very lucky with the weather while we were there and just in time to catch the last bit of color on the trees! Thanks for watching and the continued support!
Used to hike this area a lot back 20 years ago. Now returning to do a section of the AT in a few months. Cannot wait to get back out there. Hope you are doing well and thank you for your support my friend! Cheers
Sorry for the delay in responding due to the Holidays. This place is definitely an awesome place to stop and recharge while on trail or just to stop and have lunch as you driver through the Smoky Mountains! Good times! Thanks for watching and the support! Cheers
Looking forward to seeing the whole hike back to Blue Ridge! Picked up a good bit of gear in the last few weeks so hopefully I'll be able to do some largest sections next year. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Let me know if you want to meet up when you head out on the AT!! A great overnighter is Unicoi to Dicks creek at 16 miles or Neel to Woody Gap is another great one. Camp at Lance Creek. Cheers!!
@@MetroOnTheMove yeah I'll definitely let you know. Oh yeah any of those sound good. Still waiting on my quilt to come in the mail. Ordered a custom Enlightened Equipment quilt says it takes about 5-8 weeks
@@NickandRachel I will say that it takes almost the full 8 weeks if you went custom. I ordered the 10 degree revelation quilt with orange and charcoal last nov and it arrived just before Christmas.
@@NickandRachel great quality and use it off trail as well. Don’t have any issues with temps in the 30’s so far. Haven’t tested at 10 degrees yet but assume this will do fine with temps in the teens or twenties. Stuffing it down can be interesting as it fills up most of my pack.
The NOC is a must if you’re finishing up a hike on the east side of the Smokies, hiking the AT in that area, or just simply need to get a room while on the trail... Love getting a post hike meal at River’s End Restaurant! Enjoyed this video too! - JBH
Agreed! Will be back here in a few months to hike from NOC to Winding Stair Gap. Then later in the in the year will hike from Fontana to NOC. As you know, you can do both of these within a few days and a couple nights which makes for a perfect weekend trip. Thanks for watching and the continued support! Cheers
Sucha cool area to visit! It was very relaxing to stop by and check this place out on the way home. Definitely recommend checking this place out! Cheers
Happy New Year to you as well! Can't wait to get back out there to hike SOBO to Blue Ridge Gap in a few months. Thanks for watching and your continued support! Cheers
Very cool to have history like that in this area. 20 years ago, I would visit my friends who were river guides during the summer months. Spent plenty of time in that water. Thanks for watching and the support! Cheers
It really cool how the Appalachian Trail literally runs right through this area and over the bridge. This town brings back so many memories from over the years. Can't wait to go back on my next AT hike! Thanks for watching and the support!
Might want to go in the Spring before all the trees are full with leaves. Provides better views in cooler weather on trail. This is an excellent place to kayak and raft in the summer. Thanks for the kind words and support! Cheers
I'm taking 70 high school students to the NOC for a week trip this coming March. Looks like the weather runs between 20s and 70s, so I assume this is definitely a place to layer bigtime. This makes for a whole lotta packing on the plane. Yikes. Looks beautiful!
Yep! The weather in March is unpredictable. Are you going to hike any of the AT while you are there? If so, Which direction are you going? Hope you guys have a great trip
@@MetroOnTheMove we will be with the NOC folks the whole time, so I am not sure. I know there is hiking involved at some point. My Altras are ready. Thanks!
You have a very nice channel here , just awesome content and beautiful nature footages, Thanks for sharing. Like 30. I wish you all the best. See you soon again
The NOC is such a great spot! Which direction did you hike? I am planning to hike SOBO to Blue Ridge Gap in a few months. Can't wait to get back out there. Thanks for watching and your support! Cheers
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed this video and hopefully you will get a chance to visit if you have not been here already! Love hiking in this area and can't wait to get back on the Appalachian Trail. Thank you for the support!
We have done a lot of exploring in that area but not sure if I’ve ever specifically been there. We love that side of North Carolina, and we spend a lot of time in the mountains of East Tennessee. The smoky mountains are my favorite place on earth. We have hiked different sections of the Appalachian Trail in several states. I can’t wait to sit down and check out more of your videos.
@@PatchesandPotholes Agreed! The Smoky Mountains are incredible! So many awesome views but never enough time to see them all. Hiking the AT is super fun, challenging and rewarding. Can't wait to get back on trail!
It is such a great place to stop and check out as you drive through the Smoky Mountains. The Smoky Mountain Railroad actually stops here as well. Great place to stop and have lunch!
I'm so sorry that I did not reply to your sub. Your reply to one of my videos was put in the need review section... You asked where I like to go hike here in Townsend area of TN...... well,,, North Carolina looks exactly like here. The trails look the same. I actually hike very close to my house , which is Cades Cove. That is only about 15 min away and for exercise , we go throughout all their trails. I'm your friend now !
Awesome! I’ve been to Cades Cove years ago but I guess it’s time to return. I live right by the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and spend a lot of time on those trails. Keep making great videos! Cheers
I can’t believe you still have some nice colors there!
We were there at the beginning of Nov so that is why the leaves are still on the trees. We tend to shoot a few videos at a time and then release once a week. Now, it’s time to get back out for another series of hikes. Thanks for watching and your continued support. Cheers
@@MetroOnTheMove that makes sense! We do the same thing. Still releasing videos from late September - early October 🤪
@@MagellanandGreyhound yep! It’s tough to go out every weekend, shoot, edit and release in the same week. I did that for a while and almost burnt out. Now, I’m working through a knee injury now but plan to get back out next weekend.
@@MetroOnTheMove I know that feeling. So little time ...
Beautiful area. Cool river and great fall colors.
Such a cool spot to visit when hiking the Appalachian Trail or when driving through the Smoky Mountains. Good times!!
We got very lucky with the weather while we were there and just in time to catch the last bit of color on the trees! Thanks for watching and the continued support!
Thanks Andy. Bryson City and the deep creek area are awesome. ✌
Used to hike this area a lot back 20 years ago. Now returning to do a section of the AT in a few months. Cannot wait to get back out there. Hope you are doing well and thank you for your support my friend! Cheers
We have not yet made it to this area. It is so pretty with all the changing leaves. I really liked the timelapse at the beginning :)

I was there this year. It's an amazing place.
Agreed! So nice to have this spot right on the river off the AT for leisure or hiking. Thanks for watching!!

Definitely a cool place to checkout. I learned how to whitewater kayak there way back in ‘96 😬

Thank you for the support! Stay tuned for much more to come in 2021!! Cheers
Awesome, that was the first place I stepped foot onto the A/T back in 2016.

@@MetroOnTheMove We went north. It was also my first encounter with outcroppings. Its a beautiful trail.
@@RetroRVRecon Awesome! Planning to do this section going south from Fontana into NOC. Look forward to seeing the outcroppings in this area. Cheers
I love that area. They have these yurts near there that you can stay in. Pretty awesome
Will keep this mind the next time we are there. Hopefully, I will be back on the AT hiking south to the GA!
Wow! Really beautiful footage, and new subscriber here.

Is there a fee to walk the grounds, cross the bridge, use the pic nic tables?
No fee. Limited spaces in town to park.
