They said never again to going up the tower! I can truly understand why! Beautiful and I loved seeing snow at the base. Now you guys climbed up from Deep Creek correct-that's 4000 feet of gain, so hats off to all of you.
OK, I admit it, when you aimed the i-phone out and down from the top of the tower it scared me
Glad you got that loop in and bet you are already scheming the next one, Shukstack maybe!
great videos, that is one of my favorite places to go in the park

Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.
There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
I highly recommend this loop to anyone wanting to see the tower. Just be ready for a long, steep, rocky downhill on the way out. Baxter Creek trail is beautiful, but I don't think there was one spot to stop that didn't have a rock or root.
I'm definitely ready to get back out there again. Love the Smokies.
