I really enjoyed this video! Wow at the gorgeous views!Hopefully Shane and I will get up there and see all of this for ourselves. This looked like a lot of serenity, and who doesn’t love that?
I've watched numerous Overlanders on RU-vid and follow some. Some talk about hundreds of millions of years to create the beauty around them. I loved hearing someone talking about the beauty of God's creation. Earned a sub from me. The video was fun to watch. Mainly due to your joyful personality, but also for the views. God bless you and prayers for a successful venture into growing your RU-vid channel.
My wife and I did this trail in September of 2022 and they were just starting to log the area and the road through the Big Frog Wilderness was in great shape. Thanks for sharing this video because we plan to make this trip again this year.
It’s definitely worth it, I watched a lot of other people’s videos before I went there for the first time. I like it when the leaves have thinned out, I had been on a small part of it previously (from Elijay to the Cemetery) in the summer there’s only a few places where you can see the far off views. But it’s still very scenic. Once you ride it, I’d like to hear how it compares to some of the other places you’ve seen. I’ve watched you channel, You’ve been to a lot of places
A friend is planning a trip through the 'loop' soon - this is a great resource! Anyone who hasn't tried to film a wheeling day (let alone a week!) has no idea how much effort goes into putting something like this together!!!
Yeah It’s a lot of work. You get a Jeep, think you’ll become an off roader. Instead you become a Mechanic, Navigator, Photographer, Astronomer, Videographer, and Narrator! 😂 Thanks for watching, I try to keep my ride videos under 15 minutes, but this one needed to be longer and more detailed. The idea was for it to be a reference point for future trips, glad you found value in it also.
Your first campsite was fantastic! 🌌🌟🪐The views absolutely remarkable. I swear I saw a couple shooting stars. 🌠The Overlook (SW Overlooking Dalton) was breathtaking. The Great Smoky Mountains! One word...........HEAVENLY❣
Yeah I know what you’re talking about, long exposure, those were planes. You could see them in the sunrise too. The video and pictures don’t do it justice, it was gorgeous up there
Dual sports, You should have no trouble doing it in a day (sun up to sundown), several kept blowing by me. Lots of creeks, some of the trails close during January and February (check the us forest service website). Be ready to be off grid for however long you stay. I wish I had one more day to explore more trails: I would have Gaia or Onx, download the maps for off line, no cell service except for a few mountain tops. The 3 main exits (Hwy 64 in tenn, east old 2 to blue ridge, west old Hwy 2 to Cisco)
This is in my "backyard." The last overlook in your video is my closest and favorite view.. Sometimes, I wake up and fill my Yeti with coffee and druve up to take in the new day as the sun rises. This video doesn't show the grandeur of what you behold being there. Leave it better than you.found it! Also this is not the Smoky Mtns.
Yeah the video never captures it all. Not too far from me but it’s still a haul up from middle Georgia. Ya know, I never knew the Smokey’s were only a small part of the Appalachians until after I made this video, I always thought the Blue ridge, Smokey’s, Appalachians were just different names for the same Mountians. And if I hadn’t made this video I still wouldn’t have learned. Thanks for watching and for the comments. Some of my favorite videos are the ones that I learn from too
I think parts of it closes just after new years. Look up us forestry service website for the Chattahoochee-Oconee page. They post the road closures there. They’ve also been under a burn ban for about a month now
