Mt. Guyot // Hiking to the 2nd Highest Peak in the Great Smoky Mountains
#smokymountains #backpacking #lumixgh6
On June 11th-12th, The "Trail Tribe" (Chad, Nick, and Samuel) and a very special guest (Kyle) traveled from Lexington, KY to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to embark on a rugged 30mile adventure. Our quest was to locate the peak of Mt. Guyot, the park's 2nd highest peak (6,621ft), which is also the highest peak East of the Rocky Mtns without a designated trail to the top.
Join us on this narrated journey through one of the most secluded and remote sections of the "Wild East".

I have to say that y’all are pretty tough for tackling this mountain! Yet again, another great video! And always, thank you for educating me on the beauty of Kentucky and Tennessee!
The summit of Guyot is also locally known as "The Crown of the Smokies" I was standing right there when that sign was being tied to that tree. I've visited that summit probably a dozen times or so. one of my favorite places to visit in of the Smokies. so peaceful up there. great video. I have a few videos of this summit as well.
Great hike. But viewers wanting to repeat your off trail adventure should know that it's a big NO NO to leave your packs unattended at the trail while you ventured off trail to the summit. Because you don't say otherwise, the implication is that you left food unattended and unprotected in bear country.
The video editing and overall execution of this video is flawless! This video deserves hundreds of thousands or more views! We frequent backcountry camping in the Smoky Mountains and I personally understand the extra effort and time that it requires to create professional video productions like this one! Feel free to hit me up if you're ever looking for a KZread collab!
Awesome video! My wife and I still have this peak get on my SB6K list. This video makes me look even more forward to it!
The area around the summit is definitely sasquatch country
Another great one, Samuel Janes
So beautiful place. Big like for you hiking tour. Greeting from Thailand.
Very small bag, lmbo. Awesome hike!
What an amazing trip that must have been. Awesome video my friend!!
Outstanding video Samuel. Great job on getting to the summit!!! I’m sure it was hard but worth it.
I'm so glad you decided to skip ahead and make this video! It's a top 3-5 BB video for me, easily. The footage looks great (that HDR! those colors!), there's a good variety of scenery and types of shots, the narration is excellent, and there's a strong narrative holding it all together. Plus, it was just a good time! Well, except for Gunter Fork and Snake Den Ridge...
lokasi yg bagus dan indah 😍
Awesome 👏
Bravo, sir! Possibly the best overall video you've produced. Thank you!
What a wonderful way to enjoy my coffee this morning and climb the 2nd highest mtn in the Smokies☺️I’m just blown away at how that part of the Smokies seems it’s been frozen in time . I can only imagine the fragrance you got to smell 😊. What a magical place to go where not many have gone !! Last but not least the bloopers were on point👌🏻😂😂So proud of you hope your knees have recovered ! Love you❤️
😊😊
Well done my brother! What a wonderful video and narration! I really enjoyed this trip! OH BOY THOSE BLOOPERS!!! I almost woke up the house, laughing!
Beautiful and breathtaking as usual! Thanks!
