Backpacking & Hiking: Big Frog Wilderness, Cherokee Nat'l Forest, Southeastern Tennessee

**** *** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!! **** bit.ly/1IINheY *** ABOUT THIS VIDEO **** A solo hiking trip in a remote wilderness area in Tennessee, part of the Cherokee Nat'l Forest, just south of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I tried to enjoy all the aspects of the Southern Appalachians on my hike, including the rain on Day 3! I took some time on my hike to make some notes about trees and other naturalism-type lore, and unexpectedly saw four bears. I also managed to cover most of the trails in the Big Frog Wilderness, and tried to film the trail conditions for those wanting a general idea about the area. Finally, I need to correct a factual error: I said in the video that the Benton MacKaye Trail ends in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at Newfound Gap. It actually ends at Davenport Gap. *** MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT: DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS (SOME FROM THE TRAIL) *** Instagram: www.instagram.com/evan.schaeffer/ *** SEND ME EMAIL *** email: [email protected]
