In this video, Robby solo hikes in the Virgin Falls State Natural Area. First big sight was Big Branch Falls. The next day there was Big Laurel Falls, Sheep Cave, and finally one of the most impressive waterfalls we've seen backpacking, the Virgin Falls.

Nice video but you missed the main point of this waterfall. The only time this stream is visible is the falls. it flows from a cave, over the falls and drains back into a cave at the bottom. WHEN you return, notice that there's no pool at the bottom of the falls and no stream flowing from it. Not being a jerk just mentioning what has always fascinated me about this waterfall. Absolutely love AA Just spent all weekend binging a LOT of your content!!! The hike on LeConte and Dolly Sods were amazing videos. Looking forward to much more AA content.

Man, some killer shots in this one. You really captured the beauty of the falling snow and all the waterfalls. I love all AA videos, but solo Robby hikes are definitely my favorite. There is always such zippiness to these videos. You interject at all the right time with your commentary and make it seem like you are talking to the each viewer individually.

Robby, you really shine in those solo hikes. You do it so skillfully that I almost forget that you're walking at least twice as far as we see. Each time we see you walking, we know that you've had to set up the camera. A hint for using that purifying straw: Scoop up a big cup of water and drink it standing up. No need to lie down prone.

Robby, you gotta be cold on that Klymit Static V pad. I could be wrong, but I think that pad has an R-value of only 1.3 or something like that. I’ve seen you tough it out in colder temperatures, so you are definitely getting by somehow. Maybe using that accordion pad underneath? Don’t want you freezing out there on a solo now.

You take us on real journies and that is what we enjoy about your videos. The real fun, real-life part of these adventures. Thank you.

Great Video Robbie, thank you for going here, I used to take my son here when it was hardly blazed or known since it was on property owned by Bridgestone Firestone Company. The marvel of the area is that the water flows out of sandstone and limestone caves and back into sinks in the ground immediately. The falls have official campsites now and is a managed area, but used to just be a random "ewok village" of campsites at different levels around the falls and valley. Still looks as beautiful as it did 20+ years ago.
