Love the falls.
Could do WITHOUT the music.
Would love to see your video without music, let us know!
Hel Yeah I miss Mags
Dales wheels through time Museum
👍🏼
Great video! Exactly what we were looking for!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
beautiful shot at 4:25
Thank you!
The time I went my Son-in Law and I took the trail from Hwy. 215. My wife and daughter drove there. lol Afterwards the road was shut down for maintenance and was never opened back up? It's a great waterfall!
It's open again now, just took them white to replace the bridges and get the inspections completed.
We are spending the weekend in Boone and Blowing Rock the end of June..but first, we drive just a tad N to Mountain City TN for lunch. Looking forward to the getaway. It’s been almost 4 years since our last trip in Boone..always a favorite place to visit..just 90 minutes from our home.
Have fun! Thanks for watching!
I want to come and stay in Maggie valley
Is it in July this year?
Yes! July 6-7. Thanks for watching!
We’re heading up to Ellijay from N. Florida at the end of may, could we bike ride around Ellijay? We’re not really mountain bike riders! ❤️flat landers😊
Hi, you'll have a great time! Do you mean casual biking around town? If so, yes we think so. We saw folks riding on bikes when we visited.
Thanks SO much, I can't walk that so this was my next best thing
You are very welcome!
How far is the path that goes around the lake
There are two loops, the shorter is 2.3 miles and the longer is 2.8. You can learn more here: blueridgemountainlife.com/lake-junaluska-nc/ - Thanks for watching!
Didn’t Joey’s Pancake House close a few years ago? That sucks because it was the best place to eat breakfast in Maggie and was famous.
It was sold off to new owners, but is still open. The new owners run it very much the same as the original founders, using nearly all of the same receipes. Still excellent!
I LOVE Maggie! My favorite place in WNC 💜
Beautiful place. Love the cicadas. When you were walking backwards I thought that weed was a ghost and got all excited😆
Like us with the bear! Thanks for watching!
I am happy to say that I have done many of the things in this video. I love Postero and Shine. I also enjoy Burntshirt Vineyards and Campfire Grill. Chimney Rock Road from the mall area to Lake Lure is about 13-15 miles long and has tons of apple orchards and wineries. Chimney Rock Village is fun to explore about 2 miles before you get to Lake Lure. Beautiful drive!
Thank you for watching and for the additional suggestions. We’re heading back again this summer to explore some new places and do more outdoor activities! We’re looking forward to it.
Visiting from the Adirondacks this week! Hopfully the weather changes for the better lol!
Most definitely should. It's beautiful here right now. Safe travels and hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching.!
Not impressed with your video. Hop, skip and jump all around, not being complete on anything! I give you a thumbs DOWN!!!
Thanks for the view and feedback!
There Caves and everything else they're too
I grew up there playing there when I was a kid
Don't show my stop
😂😂😂
Great information on Meggie Valley. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
We always look forward to your videos. We are looking forward to checking out Beech mountain too...love your restaurant and hotel reviews, really helps in planning.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate it!
Have never visited Hendersonville..Definitely going to put it on our list. Beautiful area and loved Kanuga Inn. Are there more hiking trails nearby ?
Wonderful town with tons to do and see. Lots of hiking trails in the area, and within an hour drive. Pisgah National Forest isn't far, and Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are close by as well. One of our favorite towns to visit and explore! Thanks for watching!
Hello from Naples, Florida. That was awesome! We enjoyed your adventure. Thank you for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a great week as well!
Really enjoying your videos. On this one, after you drive down to Cataloochee Valley, I am confused how to get back to Maggie Valley? Can't seem to find a decent road to get there.
Thank you, glad you enjoy them! We drove back out using the main entrance from Cove Creek Road out towards Maggie Valley and I-40. Most wouldn't consider it decent, but it's about as decent as it gets getting in and out of Cataloochee Valley.
That’s me in the red shirt at 5:28
No way! Well, this is a first here on our channel - Someone in our video watching and commenting! Thanks for letting us know, and for being a gueat star 🤣
@@Blueridgemountainlife my pleasure. It was a great day to be there.
Have visited Waynesville a few times when we come to the Smoky Mountains on vacation. Lake Junaluska is always beautiful. Enjoyed your video. Keep'em coming. Greetings from North Mississippi.
Thank you, appreciate it! Definitely have lots more videos planned!
Great video. Grew up at Babcock and love the bridge.
Thank you!
Beautiful place❤
It really is, we always enjoy visiting, and the Emerald Outback trails are our new favorite thing to do!
I live outside of Charlotte and drive to the Blowing Rock / Moses Cone area frequently. One of the most beautiful parts of the world. My favorite trail at Moses Cone is the hike up towards the 360 tower. It takes you past the grave of the founding Cone family and into amazing scenery as you get higher. Then finally the tower for the view. Great video!
Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed the video! We'll have to check that trail out the next time we visit!
Talk about Cold in the winter, it sure it!! U will be shut in for about 8 months, so enjoy it when there isnt any fallin!!
So true!
The Eagles Nest is on Soho rd. Thats the main st. Of maggie valley!
The Appl. Trail comes by here. Its from Ga to Maine on foot!! Start walking!!
Hard coal makes great lookin jewery!
Give me that old moutain dew, them that refuse are few, Ill fill up ur jug if u hush up ur mug!
Mom doesnt want to cook. Get it served to you- this vacation!! Bryson City for the train ride and see the dam. They raise elk there too!! Shop at the cherokee villege down the hill.
If u want to get some trout go on the reservation, no license or pole required, the fish are in small ponds and sold by weight and if you eant them to fry it up for you, they can for a couple bucks!! They own the restaurant!! Next to the ponds! The kids will remember it for ever!! Priceless!!
If you are referring to the place between Cherokee and Maggie at Soco Gap, it closed many years ago. We're not familiar with one on the reservation that does this.
You need to mention Ray Fairchild, abd his opera house and the stompin ground, and the old tv show "Fire on the Mountain"!! If you know anything. Get a fishin pole abd get a trout!!
Raymond Fairchild passed away about 3 years ago, and the Opry house has been closed. Stompin grounds is only open for special events. But thanks for the suggestions.
Where's the bluegrass music??
Moving to that area in one month. Going to start an animal sanctuary.
Grandma Styles was from beautiful Burnsville. A child's dream
Do they allow dogs?????
Hi! Does who allow dogs? We visited a number of different places in this video - But in general, Burnsville is very dog friendly.
Are there any campsites or places to pull over and it's rest on this road?
Hi, thanks for watching! There are campsites at the very end in Cherokee, but not on the way down.
I love how this dude keeps saying "we", but it's only him in the whole video. Good stuff, but that cracks me up.
Glad you like it. It is we. My wife (Jenn) just prefers to be off camera. She is doing many of the shots, including the ones of me. Appreciate you watching!
@@Blueridgemountainlife Put her on camera sometime - it would be fun to see you enjoying things together. Great stuff!
I've been going to Hendersonville several times a year for 34 years, and you managed to find several places I'd never even heard of. I've been flagging locations on my Google Maps while watching this.
Glad to hear it! Hendersonville has so much to offer! We're looking forward to visiting again soon. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
Well I've been to Jump Off Rock before to watch sunset. You had so many good suggestions in this video. I'm going to have to visit some of them when I'm in the area again.
Thank you so much. Definitely pay them a visit, you won't regret it. Appreciate you watching!
Yall did a great job with the script and edit of this video. Very high quality and entertaining. Also, I’m glad you shared about Kaunga Inn. I was looking at staying there last year but couldn’t find a lot on it. It looks amazing. We gonna try it for a weekend retreat soon!
Thank you, really appreciate that. Definitely took a long time to edit and put together, but we're really happy with how it came out. Kanuga is wonderful, absolutely gorgeous place, and the staff is wonderful. We want to visit during the summer when there is more going on. Would love to kayak the lake. Appreciate you following along with us!
@@Blueridgemountainlife Anytime my friend!
