Fantastic. We wanted to get over to Two Medicine but couldn't fit it in.
Cactus: awesome trip. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, I really appreciate how you focus on the trail and what you see; beautiful work and thank you for sharing!
My Buddies and I horse packed in and spent a week every year for about 5-6 years. Winds are a wonderful place
Great video, many thanks.
Another great video, you have been to so many incredible places. I day hiked, Dawson, Cut Bank, and Pitamakan Pass loop. Probably my favorite day hike in Glacier, enjoyed seeing what lay beyond.
Enjoy the geology of that area.
As usual, outstanding job! Serious question: Do you actually use paper maps for navigation, gps, or a combination thereof? Thanks again for a delightful video!
Nice trip sir, especially day 7 where you were blessed by the great Dukeness. 20 boils and what stove were you using? And roughly how much water to boil? Thanks and keep on keeping on.
Bead Mtn OR Ned Mtn?
‘Bee’ Mountain!
@@LayneComfort ahh, yes. You are correct.....😀

What a nice watch, that mountain goat was probably considering walking up to you to get a good salt lick
It was certainly considering something but it would’ve gotten a good salt kick instead
Hi Layne. Another excellent and relaxing video! One November, my wife and I (then living in Cumming,GA) drove up to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway north from Cherokee. However, it was closed in places, so we drove up to the Clingman's parking lot and walked up to the tower. There was a light coating of snow there, and we had it to ourselves! Thank you for your excellent and informational hiking videos. I look forward to many more. Also, I appreciate your using the term "blessing", as the Lord does bless when we are out in His beautiful Creation. On my channel, I have a series called "Walking in Creation" that shows what I've walked thus far on the AT. God Bless!!
Hi Ken, always good to hear from you. I’m sure that was a magical experience for y’all on the Dome with a light coating of snow all to yourselves. Good luck with your walks!
Thank you so much for this video. So many hiking videos on TH-cam are about the hiker or hikers “conquering” the trail. In other words, the hike is a challenge to be overcome rather than an opportunity to experience and learn. The quote at the start of the video assured me that the purpose of your hike would be to experience rather than to conquer.
Thanks for this comment Gregg. Every trek into the wilderness is an opportunity to learn. I think those of us who really spend time out deep know that there is no conquering these areas. They’ve been there long before I was born and will remain long after I’m gone.
Can’t beat the Wind Rivers. Very nice job on the video. One other thought on picking a tent site - avoid being close to dead trees that could blow down in a storm. You never know.
The ultimate backpacker’s playground! That’s a good one to keep in mind as well thanks Dan
Hi Layne. Very much enjoyed this view of the Fires Creek Rim area. I lived in Cumming, GA for 22 years, and always intended to go there. Appreciate your great video that allows me to see what it is like. Glad the thunderstorm and wind wasn't worse than expected. I've not hiked the Chunky Gal trail. Have you hiked it further past where you parked? I've seen its intersectdion with the AT, and (again) wished I'd have hiked it. You do a great job of narration and filming, and your showing the map at the end of each day is very impressive. Keep up the great work. God bless!
Thanks Ken, glad that you got to see what this interesting area is like. I’ve not hiked the Chunky Gal trail farther than where we parked. We had a great time out there
Lets go soon.
Do it to it!
Looking forward to the 15th! Jealous of all the time you’re getting out west, thanks for the videos!
Thanks Joshua, all the time out west has been great!
All right!
Coming soon to a home theater near you!
Full length trip report with natural sounds and on-the-trail commentary coming out on the 15th!
😅
Is there a road into the Dry Diggins Lookout?
I’m not sure of the drivability to Dry Diggins Lookout
I've heard the trails are not clearly marked and would not make the hike alone knowing that wolves, cougars and bears are in the Idaho Mountains.
I found the navigation was no issue there on the main loop and the side trails I explored but YMMV. Wolves & black bear provide no real danger and lions little. The most dangerous part of this adventure was driving before & after which is statistically much more likely to cause catastrophe than spending time in the wilderness.
What month did you go?
Finis was a dear friend of my family. A very good man.
That’s awesome you knew Finis, he’s an inspiration
93 miles! At first I was thinking "I wonder why he didn't walk over to hole in the wall to check it out" but I probably wouldn't be adding much additional mileage to a 93 mile hike either
That and, I like to save some things so I’m “forced” to return to a location. Definitely want to make it up to Hole in the Wall
Rip Mike Turner
Wow that is a crazy story
Okay, okay, you got me. Glacier is on my list now.....😅
Keep up the exploring man! Glacier is a list-worthy place for sure
Loved the video. It brought back so many memories from time I spend with my dad at those lakes when I was a kid. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Mark. Those sound like treasured memories in a beautiful place with your dad!
Rad video!!!
Thanks Trout!
Great look at the Seven Devils. Thanks Layne!
I really enjoyed my time out there, a beautiful range!
What a trip Layne. Finally recognized an area when you reached Goat Haunt (we visited by boat). What happened with the boaters and the bear? It's definitely interesting how low you are elevation-wise much of the time. The peaks are for the scramblers. Very cool seeing so much of Glacier that we didn't see as tourists. Have you considered adding chapters for long videos like this? Looking forward to the next one!
The bear left when the boat approached, way too many people for it. Good idea on the chapters I will have to look into that! Thank you Seth
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I always look forward to your videos.
Thanks CM I hope your adventures are going well also
Picks the longest bridge of the trip for a walk by. Oddly enough, no walk by on the swaying bridge. Just messin' with ya. Stupendous job. You're getting more permits. Can we look forward to more videos of Glacier? Hope so. As always, thanks so much!
Yes sir, more videos from Glacier on the way! The next one will peer into a much different section of the park in the southern reaches
"Awesome" and "gorgeous" are inadequate to describe the beauty you are sharing, Son, but they are the best I have. Thanks as always for sharing your adventures!
Thanks Dad, glad you guys got to see Glacier!

Incredible views and great camp facts!
The views in Glacier are tough to beat anywhere!
Hi Layne. Very much enjoyed this well-filmed and narrated video. Really like the way you show the route taken on the map each day. I plan to purchase maps #786 and #318 in order to adequately plan future NRA hikes. I've not been in this part of the NRA, so this was of interest for possible future hikes. RE: Iron Mountain Trail I'm very interested in this trail since it used to be the AT. Thinking of hiking it east from Damascus as far as it goes. RE: Virginia Highlands Horse Trail Another trail I'd like to "through hike". Look forward to more of your great videos. God Bless!
This was a cool area that not too many people go out to. A neat place to get away from it all. Thanks Ken!
Hey man! Great video, as always. Have a quick question though: what trailhead/road did you park by to start the hike where you did?
Thanks man, if I remember correctly we parked off Pineola Road at the North Harper Creek Falls trail. It should show where we start & end on the map shots
@LayneComfort Oh, sweet! I should have dug deeper! Thanks for replying. Also, thanks for the awesome content. The trail previews are great as well as the commentary. Always enjoy when a video comes out nowadays!
Shoot, one more thing I meant ask; how was the overnight parking there? Kind of sketchy, or pretty legit? To hike the same trail, we have parked on the Wislon Creek side (south of the area you entered), near Mortimer. As we have only day hiked it, I wasn't sure about overnight parking at the trailhead parking areas. Was there a parking pass or?
Thank you I appreciate the support! There was no pass required when we parked there. Take normal precautions like not leaving items in sight in your car etc. but I’m not aware of any sketchy problems there
Amazing place
The Winds are truly an amazing place
Thanks for the adventure. I could never do it,so I really appreciate you bringing me along.
I’m happy to be able to share. Thanks for coming along with me!
We watched your video, packed the packs and went straight to Hunt Fish Falls! What an incredible area, absolutely beautiful. Just wanted to let you know that your efforts to share these places really do make a few of us motor! Thank you. Happy hiking.
Thank you very much for sharing Lori, that means a lot to me. Glad y’all got to enjoy this special area! Keep it up 🥾
Thanks for introducing us to a slice of awesome Glacier, Son. We need to come back for more bites of this amazing place!
Yes Dad I was happy to share with you guys!
Having seen some of Glacier for ourselves, WOW, just WOW!🎉
Glad y’all got to see it for yourselves Mom!
Cool sights! IMO If you slow down the transitions a bit it would be MUCH MORE relaxing visually. Great work tho.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback, I appreciate it! To make sure I fully understand are you saying to make each clip/scene longer lasting?
@@LayneComfort Precisely 👍
Wow- what a great trip. Simply stunning.
I always love time in the Winds!
Let's go!
Buckle up!
Looks amazing! Can't wait to see the full video!
I’m working hard to have the full video out on time David!
Oh hell yeah.
Excited to release this Glacier series!

Loved the shots in this one! This hike is sneakily close to the Triangle, and I kick myself for never managing to fit the trip in.
Man so many places so little time! You'll just have to make up for it by leaving no stone unturned out there in the Land of Enchantment
