Appalachian Trail (Day 25): Rest & Relaxation in Hot Springs! Checking in on Post-Hurricane Damage

On Day 25, Chris hikes through the famous Hot Springs, NC. Upon hiking into town, Chris catches breakfast at the Smokey Mountain Diner. Having previously visited Hot Springs prior to the devastating Hurricane Helene floods, Chris was eager to check on some of his favorite places. Later that day he visits Big Pillow Brewing for some local brews. Chris raves about the Funnel Cake Fries from Spring Creek Tavern. On top of an already incredible day, Chris treats himself to a much needed soak in the hot springs tubs at Hot Springs Spa and Resort. To wrap up the day, Chris tent camps along the French Broad River to the gentle sounds of rushing water, toping off an incredible "nero" with some much deserved rest time. The video includes the following highlights: Hot Springs, NC, Smokey Mountain Diner, Big Pillow Brewing, Spring Creek Tavern, Hot Springs Spa and Resort, Hot Tubs and French Broad River.
