Thank you for this video. Is the 8 miles for out and back total or 8 miles one way

Wonder why the lack of evergreens like holly and mountain laurel? to the west at hanging rock they’re everywhere

I remember the old tower on Mitchell before this new one was built.

Thanks to Zachary Robbins for the excellent video of House Mountain. My brother Jim Warren lived near Little House when he was an English professor at W&L. We visited Jim many times over the years. Wells Warren

Wish someone would do the rock loop video

I was hoping to get more information on where exactly the FS road intersects colbert ridge.

I am inspired to do this!! Super job with peaks as I have been there before.

Question… Mount Mitchell is 6,684 ft. Clingmans Dome is 6,643 ft. 41 foot difference. Mount Mitchell’s observation deck is about 10ish feet off the ground. Clingmans Dome observation tower is about 45 feet off the ground. If you’re standing at the top of Clingmans Dome observation tower, are you technically at the highest point east the Mississippi? Are the observations points included in the elevations??

Can Mt Jefferson be seen from US 421 just by outside Willesboro? Some guy posted a shot on FB saying such, but I’m not buying it. I can message you the shot. Jefferson is on the back side of the blue ridge. No way it could be seen. Also it sticks out like a sore thumb in this picture, like Mt Hood or something 🤣🤣

The rocks are exposed when the soil is washed away.

Where can I find this route/tracks? I have not been able to find them.

Just ran this trail yesterday using your directions and gpx. I enjoyed it. I liked that you got most of the climb done in the first three miles. Since the trees haven’t fully leafed out but show green the views were nice. It was easy to stay dry doing the water crossing, but that’s always weather dependent. Thanks for the video and the HU write up.

Really nice video Zachary. Thanks for sharing. Headed there in 2 weeks.

Any camping spots with water around Deep Gap?

Thanks for showing the lookout footing of the Stony Creek Lookout.....been trying to find a picture of the old tower for the last hour with no luck. At least I have a footing image! Thanks.

I hiked to the summit of Richland Balsam last March. It was surprisingly easy with a couple of decent views to the west coming down, but the forest was very dark even though the sun was out and the overall vibe was creepy. I've never seen trees that densely packed. It was surreal! I kept expecting something - or someone - to jump out at me, lol. I guess it didn't help that I was alone. Next time I go there, it won't be by myself!

This is definitely a great winter hike. Great views through the trees, and in areas a bit more open. One of my favorites.

This is definitely on my to do list now, thanks for the informative video 💯👍

I just pronounce it quickly like youre saying "camera" except say it "Cam-err"

Us locals regularly do Hump Mountain from Big Horse Creek off of 19E. There is a Forest Gate and Forest Road most of the way up. Only about a mile and half each way. Agreed that Hump is one of the best views in the Roan Highlands.

No longer able to do it, but done it a few times. Great view.

Another awesome video

Nice , had not heard of this place before looks fun.

My plan is to do the Woody Ridge Trail to Isom Mine (and probably do Percy's Peak just because) this weekend. This will be my 5th time up Woody Ridge this year. Inspired by Zach's reports.

Man I love this area! We always just called it the Rosboro road swimming hole on the way to Hunt Fish falls.. or sometimes just called it "the spot". I'm showing my age here but we used to go up there in the early to mid 90's and have that entire spot to ourselves for the weekend and camp right there by the swimming hole. It's still one of my favorite places in those mountains. The top of Lost Cove cliffs is really cool too..

Woody Ridge trail is tough either going up or down. It's probably the toughest trail east of the Mississippi. Old Butt Knob trail in Shining Rock is another beast. Winter hikes up there are brutal but fun!

I was camping up there one time and met an old cherokee family camping there also. They told me there was ancient caves on the backside of the ridge between Tennett mountain and Shining Rock. I have been up there looking for them a couple times but no luck so far. I love this area, its my favorite in NC for sure. The flat laurel creek is so amazing but the tributaries coming off Silvermine Bald are beautiful as well.

@21.50 it was the old forest trying to keep you out! Good job man and thanks for taking us along!

Hey Zach, Thanks for posting this! I have recently become aware of this area and going to do some exoploring. Not been in this area as well.

How far off trail is the water sources at deep gap?

Im the only one who didnt know about the hiking trail. I was on the gravel road going up to it. Looked it up when i got down back to maggie valley and found out... theres a trail

I live an hour from here, great place I'd recomend taking a gun we had a black bear charge at us luckily a warning shot scared it off

How do you know you is okay to walk there? I will be scared 😱

Hi Zachary, I love watching your hiking videos with all your amazing pics and detailed info. What an inspiration! I've been missing new uploads from you. I hope you are doing well and still hiking!

Doing this same hike tomorrow.

I know of a few extremely old and huge long and short leafs in Pensacola Florida near scenic hwy in a narrow steep ravine and Hoover Al along cahaba river

Is this off the main fire road in the hair pin turn out of sunburst? I ride gravel up there and may go check this out.

I'm always amazed by your encyclopedic knowledge of the various mountain peaks and ranges. That's one of my favorite things about your videos that others usually don't have. It's been awhile since you posted your last hiking video. I'm wondering if you'll be making any more of these in the near future?

Been to Craggy Dome plenty of times. If you go east from the summit, there's a bit of a social trail and it gets interesting. The best hiking in that area is off-trail, if you can avoid the thickets. It's slow going, but so many maintained, official trails are overused these days. ruclips.net/video/57Wq95VsVbI/видео.html

Been watching your nade trick videos, really appreciate them. Forgot almost all of them after not playing for years. Still good music too 😁👍

Just got back into Halo, thanks for the refresher!

Hey there - have you hiked to grey eagle rock on the side of potato knob near mt mitchell? MST - Boundary Trail?

Hey Zach, me and my brother want to do a 2 day backpacking trip. We are deciding between art loeb to cold mountain or hike up to the hangover. Which one has the best old growth forest to see? Do you prefer or recommend one?

Thanks for the memories! One of my favorite Appalachian mountain hikes from my college days of over 50 years ago!

Thanks for the video and the awesome info about the mountains.

Great video! I'm Working out the GA-4000's this year and have been looking forward to this hike.

It was windy and a little bit of snow leading to Black Balsam Knob, went over to Tennent mountain then back via Investor gap trail. The views we awesome, I used your video s to map out my plan. The Pisgah map was a big help, thanks!

I got up there the second week in March. It was cold but not too wet. The view from on top was worth the hike but man was it a challenge getting up there. I'm looking forward to coming back at a different time of year.
