Going Coconuts for Mount Le Conte and Myrtle Point via Alum Cave Trail - Great Smoky Mountains

I felt like the luckiest guy in the world hiking this beautiful trail on this perfect autumn day. My day stated under the Moon before Mother Nature slowly revealed herself in Devine form. With perfect timing, the Sun’s rays hit the trial just after a round of “Om Shri Gaia Ma Purnatva Gaia Ma” and the show really got started. The views on Cliff Top and Myrtle point made me go coconuts. No need for panic. There were widespread opportunities for healthy expression. This was the first time I hiked under legit rainbows. The descent along Alum Cave Creek was enlightening. I’ve never seen all of this in one day. With a length of 12 miles, 3000 vertical feet and over 6 hours, this was the biggest and longest hike or my life. I express my heartfelt gratitude for Planet Earth, Gaia, Ma and life in general. This was a very special hike, which I feel is reflected in this video. I hope you can feel some joy with this. Track: “Coconuts “ by Widespread Panic My Hike: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/rec...
