(video) GSMNP - Big Creek / Mt. Sterling loop - part 1

[TallPaul]

climb up Sterling and see him in the tower? That is easy. I want him to show us a pic of him sleeping on top of the tower

Now that made me laugh. I saw the crows nest - no thanks!

Waiting, waiting, waiting......(hurry)

Literally got a can of air and blew dust out of my cpu as it was overheating.
Video has now rendered.
YouTube now says 2200 minutes till upload complete.
Reminds me of the climb..I'll just keep grinding.

I haven't got to see a Smokey Mountains trip report for a while. I think it’s one of “the” great places! What did you think of travelling slow, taking your time, while hiking? The camera tips were good. I’m an expert on water temperature and that water looks too cold! lol Thanks for part one!

I wish I was in shape to go up Baxter.
My legs still feel the 4k drop though.
My buddy is going to lose both pinky toe nails cause his boots were a little to tight.

That trail is a right of passage for the rangers- it sucks!

That was one of the best videos I've seen.
Incredible scenery and you let the camera do most of the talking.
Waterfalls, butterflies, swimming holes, just beautiful.
"a lesson on how slow you can go" is my preferred speed too, especially in a place like that.
The underwater stuff was just stunning. I don't know that I've ever seen water that crystal clear.
I often wonder how you guys that make such great videos do it. Thanks for sharing the tips. Wasn't boring at all and very useful.
Now... on to part two.
