Questions about Cache Peak or Independence Lakes? Leave it here! For more info check out the blog I wrote--> bit.ly/2U6PzgJ For my full list of film making and hiking gear check out the description.
Awesome, makes me so homesick! I grew up about 15 miles away in Albion. My late father made that same hike when he was 75 years old! Your video truly captures the essence of that spectacular place. I can almost smell and taste it!
I passed one person on the trail. It was on the way down. It was an old man about 75 hiking up there by himself. We didn’t speak but I think about that guy from time to time. I hope someday that’s me.
Such a great video, with just the ambient noise and no voiceover. We camp at the Independence Lakes every year. Unfortunately, it has been "discovered" and is now super-crowded on Summer weekends. For those that fish, only lake #1 and #2 have fish. the cool thing is, both are planted with arctic grayling. Very interesting fish to catch. I have camped at all the campsites shown in this vid, multiple times! Fun fact: Cache Peak is the highest peak in Idaho South of the Snake River. Also, Idaho is famous for having thousands of natural alpine lakes, BUT... there are only 6 south of the Snake River. 4 of them are at Independence.
I could totally relate to the footing mishap 😁 I always get bruised and scratched when I hike because I somehow end up with a minor mishap with my footing. The best yet was slipping on rocks in Jump Creek and getting a bloody knee and elbow. I'm just glad no one else saw it happen 😆
Haha well everyone saw me slip now! It’s just part of the fun! 😀 I haven’t been to Jump Creek yet! Been all around this state and that place is less than an hour away from where I live. I should go check it out.
Thanks! It was tough to make while trying to climb in those conditions. I used one of the books Gerry gave me to plan the trip. I had it with me on the hike so tell him thanks!
That wasn't me, but I'm hoping someone leaves a comment like "I did this with that toilet seat." Back in the day when I still brought only nuts and berries.
Thanks man, tough to get with all that wind. By the end the tripod wouldn't stand up. I had to use my daypack and some rocks to weigh it down for the howling shot!
Very mellow video with mostly natural sounds only. That camp table was awesome. Was that a basketball hoop or non-regulation corn hole target in camp? Also, I liked the fact that you kept it real by leaving in the mis-step where you almost fell. I’m going to guess you spent a little time deciding whether to keep that shot in or delete/reshoot it...What song/artist is at the end of video?
Thanks Morgan! I actually knew right away when I had the mis step that it was going to make it. I'm kind of editing in my head as I go.The song is "Calling Me" by OOYY.
@@JonConti Thanks again Jon for identifying the music!!! There are many of us out here that truly live your vids! Keep posting your songs used please! I’m creating a hiking playlist with your songs only! 👏

Dope. I could watch this every morning before I start my day..
Thanks Joaquin!
I enjoy all of your video's, but this one takes the cake! By far the best video you have ever produced! Absolutely loved it! Tremendous job!!!
Wow thanks Forrest!
Jon - I love your work. Makes me feel like I am there. Keep ‘em coming!
I'm glad, thanks for watching!

Thanks Nathan. Great fishing tips! I just bought a tenkara rod I can try out there

@@JonConti I drove more than 3 hrs for that super short hike! Lol. But totally worth it. Such a beautiful place 😀
Very nice Jonathan. You do good work.
Thanks Uncle Tim!
Your videos are so helpful in deciding the next trip!
I'm so glad!
Wow Cool shots! Super smooth gimbal rotation on the lake clip
Ya man that was tough keeping that smooth. A little speed ramping and walla!
I've lived here my whole life and had to look this Peak up, nice hike, well done! I love the sound of nature and a bit of Where's Waldo.
Thanks! It was tough to make while trying to climb in those conditions. I used one of the books Gerry gave me to plan the trip. I had it with me on the hike so tell him thanks!
@@JonConti, Gerry will think that is awesome! I forgot to mention the agility skills, top-notch.
Nice video edit touch when you hit the stick at the top maching the audio clap!!!!
Ha thanks! That shot was tough, and I played with that part more than anything in the edit. So it's good to know someone took notice of it!
Nice
Thanks
Good thinking to bring that toilet seat 😂
That wasn't me, but I'm hoping someone leaves a comment like "I did this with that toilet seat." Back in the day when I still brought only nuts and berries.
Awesome as usual 👍 Lots of incredible shots!
Thanks man, tough to get with all that wind. By the end the tripod wouldn't stand up. I had to use my daypack and some rocks to weigh it down for the howling shot!
This is beautifully shot!
Thanks Kai!

Is there a longer approach through City of Rocks to the summit? I’d like a longer trek
Do you like your Hokas?
Love em! Just did 31 miles in Hells canyon with them
@@JonConti good to know. Thanks!
