A lot of people gets hooked with good series on netflix, well, i get hooked watching adventure archives videos, great videos guys!! 2 of the things i like the most, making videos and nature, congratulations, you guys are awesome!!!!
I'm from Ohio as well, and I find myself incredibly attracted to the Sierra Nevada, Rocky Mountains, and Southwest desert ecosystems and sky-islands within them. Good to see your face again once in awhile, Thomas!
We live in the FL Keys, so the highest elevation we get to see is landfill from the freeeay. LoL. You guys have put out some AWESOME footage on your hikes! I always love watching your videos. Thank you!!
I'm a big fan of mountains myself. I feel lucky to have traveled a lot over the years to see different countries. (Snowy) mountains are definitely my thing. That's probably why I love going to Switzerland a lot. Added bonus is that I have a few good friends living there :) The Netherlands is pretty flat, my area is a little more hilly but still nothing spectacular like a nice mountain 😍
I want to explore the arid regions of Nevada and New Mexico. I got a taste of it last fall on a working trip to Nevada. I got to see a glimpse of Red Rock Canyon. AWESOME!!!
I've hiked in many biomes in the west coast (coast, dry/snowy mountains, desert, canyons, etc.), but my favorite biome to explore is the glaciated mountains and/or volcanic mountains. There's something so breathtaking in walking up to a massive glacier, sandwiched between jagged peaks, and seeing their crevasses and icefalls. (To answer your question). Volcanic, glaciated mountains are so breathtaking because they appear so imposing and dominate over their surroundings.
Great video. I love that hike from Crystal Lake Campground all the way up to Jimmy Springs done it many times. Thanks for putting it on video brings back great memories and that's spring, that's spring at Little Jimmy's is incredible. The first time I ever went up there was with the Boy Scouts in 1971 and the spring was all natural it had the little pipe but they did not have the Basin below it and there was a field of very thick wild onions growing right below the spring you could Harvest help your dinner out
Born and raised in the shadow of the cascade range... mountains, waterfalls, fir trees, clouds, rain, and more clouds... and a pretty sunny summer.... I am interested in exploring desert biomes. My wife and I hiked Hog Lake one time, in dry Northern California. Neither hogs nor a lake were present. Too hot, I suppose. But it was beautiful!
Hahaha- I'd love to visit the Arizona desert. I've got the SoCal desert all around me and at times I think it's a bit intimidating. No shade, lot's of snakes and bugs and no water! But man, it's desolation has its own beauty. -Thomas
I like this bite-sized content. You guys should try to do some more of this if you can. I'd also like to explore any type of snowy place. Don't get a whole lot of snow down south. I'm always amazed to see it when the rare snow comes.
Slot canyons in Southern Utah are my favorite! It’s indescribable, the terrain in Escalante Utah is alienated from the rest of the world. It’s so beautiful there and the exploring is endless!
Where you are right now looks just like Colorado (like home😊). When I first moved here from the east coast it was a shock going from swampland to mountainous alpine desert. But I feel like I was always meant to be here. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I love the eastern woodland...aka the foot hills of the Appellation mountains with trees ranging from Conifers on the tops of ridges, to willow in the gorges. If you ever get the chance to hike in Hocking Hills in central Ohio, you totally have too!
I love Yosemite. White Rocks, Waterfalls, The trees, Massive trees such as Pine and Redwood- Both beautiful and nice looking, Satisfiying trees... and Forests. And as they said... There is no feeling of clostrofobia :D
I live near Wales in the Uk where we have awesome mountain ranges ; used to go exploring as a child . Where I live now is in a valley but a hilly bit if you know what I mean . I live right on the edge of town so best of both worlds really .
I'm from Florida and have always lived by a coast, but mountains are my favorite exploration destination for me. beaches where I live and have lived are beautiful, but often crowded and littered.
I love these thoughtful and stoic treks you take! I've been in both situations with friends and solo treks and one way or another you take apiece of these adventures and build yourself from them.
I went to school in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and I gotta say there is something so special about that area. Snow capped mountains breathtaking and all, but there can be a lot of comfort just watching the hills roll into one another. -Thomas
Sorry about the comment. You guys actually are one of my favorite channels on you tube. The videos you produce always capture a sense of wonder. I especially enjoy the comradery that you share. There is an innocence about it that reminds me of childhood. The editing is top notch and all of you have a great eye for cinematography that brings out the special nuances and detail that's often overlooked. Its entertaining and educational, and always relaxing. I wish you guys the very best in whatever endeavor calls you. God bless.
looking for snow? go back to Islip now. was up there 2 days ago.....4/1/17. bring some micro spikes and a decent walking stick or trekking poles for the portions of the trail that get dodgy. northeast side of trail still has a lot of ice so leave the kids at home for this time of year.
Nicely done Thomas. Double kudos since you made this one by yourself. I'd like to explore true tropical rainforest and spend more time in the deserts of the southwestern USA, but not in the summertime!
Cincinnati, Ohio here; so I get my fix going to red river gorge Kentucky. Went through the Rocky Mountain national park in a vehicle, but would love to backpack there.
The other guys had some great times backpacking through there too, I hear. We've been trying to set something up over Rocky Mountain NP for quite sometime! Just need to get an exact route set up! -Thomas
Hey Thomas, first I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of the channel and the work you guys do, keep it up! I also grew up in Ohio but moved to southern California for high school. Now I'm a wildlife biologist/botanist in the Bay area. I always had a fascination for mountains as a kid in Ohio and it's pretty cool that you had that same mentality as a youth. Consequently, the Yosemite video you guys did is one of my favorites. Anyway, cheers!
Great video I will definitely do this hike on my trip in the fall! Mountains for sure because of the sweeping views but I’ve always been a fan of exploring sub tropical rainforests and wetlands like Everglades and swamp sanctuaries in Florida
Hey Thomas, I like your videos here in SoCal, because some areas I've been to and I like to watch someone else experienced things that I love, and some of them are places I have not been and things to be put on my bucket list. My only negative is that I was simply wish they were longer. It seems like you just dig you doing your thing,And being in your own space I guess. Oh well, I like the ones that you post they were really cool. Keep on keeping on man
Have you hike Mt. Baden-Powell?That's a good hike also. I grew up in LA. Closer to the beach than to the mountains. Now I live near the mountains and I'm in them all the time exploring. I can't imagine living where it's flat.
The snowy, winter Western mountains are my favorite environment on the planet. Second place would go to snowy Japanese mountains. A lot of other winter mountains are too far north and are often brutally cold. Not so here in So Cal. You get snow, sometimes lots of it when we're not in drought conditions, and its usually relatively warm. Even up high, above 8,000 feet, the overnight temp might only drop to 20 degrees. I just love the winter mountains, snow camping, and cross country and back country telemark skiing. You should look into doing some back country skiing in the San Gorgonio area. You can spend time learning to ski in the flat and safe Barton Flats area, and you can ski pretty safely solo, with no avalanche worries, up to 9,000 feet into the northern valley below San Gorgonio. Here, the snow can be very deep, deep enough to build really good snow caves. Camping in a luxuriously carved snow cave, with tables and beds, etc., is a real treat. The best camping there is, IMO. Back country skiing in the San Gabriels is a risky proposition. You'd better know what you're doing. But, there are some safe day trips you can make in the area. One of my favorites is a quick day trip up Ice House Canyon to the Ice House Canyon saddle. Course, you could camp at the saddle or below it, for an overnight stay. Skiing beyond the saddle is risky without some serious knowledge and experience. Sometimes is safe to ski from there to Kelly camp on the backside of Ontario Pk. Sometimes is treacherous and you're taking your life in your own hands. Same thing with the trip to Mt. Baldy in the winter. Sometimes its safe; sometimes it's treacherous, depending on the snow conditions. Someone "hiking" to Mt. Baldy this winter slipped off the Devil's Backbone and fell to his death. Well, well, I just read that another fell off the Backbone and died on March 10th, this guy a fairly experienced mountaineer. Holy shit. Another person died this winter near the Ice House saddle and they closed the Canyon trail down. Apparently this person slipped off "an icy trail". Goddamn it. What they don't get is that this closes down an area that is actually pretty safe and will drive people like me to possibly more risky locations. At any rate, you get my point. It's pretty much like this all over the San Gabriels, due to how steep they are, and how conditions can change from day to day, storm to storm, due to rapid temperature changes or massive dumps of snow from big Pacific storms. There are a few other limited trips you can make in the area, without playing fast and loose with your own life, or mounting an expedition, roping up, and carrying avalanche beacons. Best thing to do would be to find someone with knowledge and experience and have them show you around. If you're going to explore the winter mountains, as you really should if you're excited about them, it would be well worth the time and expense to learn how to ski, to telemark ski. It's absolutely glorious to hit the So Cal mountains first thing on a sunny morning right after a snow storm passes through. Don't settle for snowshoeing. It may seem like the easiest way to get into the Winter mountains, but It's slow, cumbersome, especially fatiguing, and very inelegant. It's far easier to ski up steep terrain than to snowshoe up it, and, of course, it has none of the benefits of downhill skiing.
Come spend a couple weeks in New Hampshires White mountains. Some amazing climbs/hikes available and if you want snow you got it from Nov-April. Also Vermont, New York and Maine have great snowy mountains. New England in General is beautiful and amazing but Im biased because I live here :)
I would love to walk in the Mountains. Where I live in England we just have hills. John Muir Trail would be good. Now that's an idea for an video........
This was so adventurous and chill to see .. coming to LA soon and might hike this mountain .... Is the LUMIX the only camera that's 4K in this video ?? And if so it looks great
Beautiful! How on earth did you do those zoom shots while you were walking? Did you have someone sneaky with you? That's pretty cool. I haven't seen that in your Ohio brothers' videos yet. But I started watching AA from the beginning and I'm right here now. Such beautiful views. I'm glad you're part of the crew now.
Hopefully sometime soon! The problem we have is, we're not the best at packing bags. We definitely tend to over pack especially with all our camera gear! -Thomas
Thomas asks what bio-mes I am most interested in; I too am from Ohio (the flat part) so I am partial to mountains. however, as a subscriber, I have watched most of the Adventure Archive series and seen a lot of mountains. I would like to see some of our coastal regions specifically, the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Northeast. I am aware that there may not be a lot of trails available to hikers due to land use practices but maybe some day hikes or an overnighter could be found that would highlight this beautiful region.
What advice can you give someone who wants to go hiking by themselves? Do people do it often? most people don't have the time to go hiking as much as i would like 2.
When I first moved to Cali, I had no clue how to hike mountains; they can be really deceiving! When you're alone, you definitely want to bring at the very least: a map (compass too), water, first-aid, and bear spray (just for peace of mind). I started off doing smaller hikes then moved to bigger (7+ miles). I always told someone close where I was going to go and I did my best to try and talk to people on the trail in case something happened. Don't neglect bringing ample water on hot days! As I hiked more, I found that hiking poles helped my legs with exhaustion and let me go longer. They're not necessarily for everyone, but they sure help me! -Thomas
awesome! I just posted a vid doing that exact same trail in the snow for an overnight backpacking trip. Give it a look if you get a min. It's gorgeous in the snow
Just watched! It was so weird seeing the 2 covered in snow! I've always wanted to mountaineer to the top of Mt. Islip, but I haven't found anyone with the equipment or experience to do it with.
Thanks! We sorta compose the music based on things we like and how we feel. But I can understand how it doesn't necessarily fit the elegance of the landscape. Thanks for watching! -Thomas
That would be pretty incredible - definitely a trip I'd like to make as well. I actually went to Hawaii for the first time this past summer, and I've been dying to go back, haha. -Andrew
Great Video,,,it’s all about the mountains Rivers creeks streams and Lakes in CA,,,it’s a endless wonderland in California,,
I live in Florida and access to beach and salt flats...enjoy a change in scenery near mountains and snow!
A lot of people gets hooked with good series on netflix, well, i get hooked watching adventure archives videos, great videos guys!!
2 of the things i like the most, making videos and nature, congratulations, you guys are awesome!!!!
Thank you so much! Definitely a great combination of hobbies :) Cheers!
Hiking in this area is so much fun!
I did Mt Islip loop from crystal lake after 3 feet of snow the previous night and it was very beutiful. Favorite hike
I'm from Ohio as well, and I find myself incredibly attracted to the Sierra Nevada, Rocky Mountains, and Southwest desert ecosystems and sky-islands within them.
Good to see your face again once in awhile, Thomas!
I think it's high time we get a southwestern desert episode in here... Thanks for the support!
I, too, grew up without mountains and that is what I always want to venture out to when traveling. Thanks for another great video of exploring!
yeah, growing up without them when you see them it's almost like they're fake because it's so weird to see them in the distance. -Robby
We live in the FL Keys, so the highest elevation we get to see is landfill from the freeeay. LoL. You guys have put out some AWESOME footage on your hikes! I always love watching your videos. Thank you!!
thanks guys
Great trails around Mt. Islip. Gonna go back and hike the loop from Crystal Lake again.
I'm a big fan of mountains myself. I feel lucky to have traveled a lot over the years to see different countries. (Snowy) mountains are definitely my thing. That's probably why I love going to Switzerland a lot. Added bonus is that I have a few good friends living there :)
The Netherlands is pretty flat, my area is a little more hilly but still nothing spectacular like a nice mountain 😍
I miss this rolling hills of NorthCentral Ohio. The woodlands in some areas seem to be endless when you gaze out over the landscape.
I want to explore the arid regions of Nevada and New Mexico. I got a taste of it last fall on a working trip to Nevada. I got to see a glimpse of Red Rock Canyon. AWESOME!!!

thanks Thomas!
Haven't hiked this Mt. yet, bet the fields will be beautiful during the spring after the snow melts.
It's Thomas!!
Dryer, rocky, pine laden mountains on the west side of the Rockies. Snow at highest elevations. Think Idaho.
Great adventure hike will enjoy doing it, thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous!
Mountains for sure!
Good choice!
Great Job Thomas! I live right near Pikes Peak and miss the beach so much! Want to go back to Florida some day! Thanks for sharing!!!
I live in middle Georgia where it is mostly flat land. Once I realized there were mountains I could visit I had to go check it out.
Born and raised in the shadow of the cascade range... mountains, waterfalls, fir trees, clouds, rain, and more clouds... and a pretty sunny summer....
I am interested in exploring desert biomes.
My wife and I hiked Hog Lake one time, in dry Northern California.
Neither hogs nor a lake were present. Too hot, I suppose.
But it was beautiful!
Hahaha- I'd love to visit the Arizona desert. I've got the SoCal desert all around me and at times I think it's a bit intimidating. No shade, lot's of snakes and bugs and no water! But man, it's desolation has its own beauty. -Thomas

Hoosier here, and I agree, something about mountains that draw me in. Also love tropical environments, just completely different than the Midwest.
Where you are right now looks just like Colorado (like home😊). When I first moved here from the east coast it was a shock going from swampland to mountainous alpine desert. But I feel like I was always meant to be here. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Yayyyy Thomas!!!! Still a fan of all of you!
Thanks XDj! Still a fan of all of you too! -Thomas
Mountains! It's good to see you back with a video out west.
Agreed! And thanks! Hopefully gonna try and get more out on a monthly basis. -Thomas
I love the eastern woodland...aka the foot hills of the Appellation mountains with trees ranging from Conifers on the tops of ridges, to willow in the gorges. If you ever get the chance to hike in Hocking Hills in central Ohio, you totally have too!
I love Yosemite. White Rocks, Waterfalls, The trees, Massive trees such as Pine and Redwood- Both beautiful and nice looking, Satisfiying trees... and Forests. And as they said... There is no feeling of clostrofobia :D
Haha- All true and all beautiful places! -Thomas
Living in PA and having family in CA, yah we don't have mountains in the East Coast. My son and I hiked the cables of Half Dome the summer of 2016.
I've always wanted to hike the cables of Half Dome! It's so hard to get a permit these days though... maybe this year!
We applied months in advance knowing the week we would be out. I ended up with our first pick. 2018 I'm going back.
Yes mountains are the best! Especially here in Colorado.. cool vid Thomas
I gotta get myself out to those Colorado Rockies!
I'm from Ohio, too. Now living in LA. For me, I wanted to explore beaches. Now, I want to explore rainforests. Great video!
I live near Wales in the Uk where we have awesome mountain ranges ; used to go exploring as a child . Where I live now is in a valley but a hilly bit if you know what I mean . I live right on the edge of town so best of both worlds really .
Another great video from one of TH-cam's hidden gems! Thanks guys!
I'm from Florida and have always lived by a coast, but mountains are my favorite exploration destination for me. beaches where I live and have lived are beautiful, but often crowded and littered.
Great video Thomas! 👍
I love these thoughtful and stoic treks you take! I've been in both situations with friends and solo treks and one way or another you take apiece of these adventures and build yourself from them.
I love exploring the mountains. I'm used to the Appalachian's and want to explore the U.S. and Canadian Rockies.
I went to school in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and I gotta say there is something so special about that area. Snow capped mountains breathtaking and all, but there can be a lot of comfort just watching the hills roll into one another. -Thomas
I would agree with you..I would love to explore snowy type mountains. I love mountains...and I'd love to explore a jungle! find some ruins!!!
mountains definetly
Most definitely!

Have to go with rainforests because it's so diverse
Oooo- Good one. Those always sorta freaked me out because of the diversity of scary insects and venomous snakes. Best! -Thomas
looking for snow? go back to Islip now. was up there 2 days ago.....4/1/17. bring some micro spikes and a decent walking stick or trekking poles for the portions of the trail that get dodgy. northeast side of trail still has a lot of ice so leave the kids at home for this time of year.
Nicely done Thomas. Double kudos since you made this one by yourself. I'd like to explore true tropical rainforest and spend more time in the deserts of the southwestern USA, but not in the summertime!
First, river gorges like RRG and Hocking hills. I did some mountains in Arizona that has me wanting more.
Good job brother! Loved the narrative!
Cincinnati, Ohio here; so I get my fix going to red river gorge Kentucky. Went through the Rocky Mountain national park in a vehicle, but would love to backpack there.
The other guys had some great times backpacking through there too, I hear. We've been trying to set something up over Rocky Mountain NP for quite sometime! Just need to get an exact route set up! -Thomas
Nifty! I like the masking on your titles so it looks like they are behind Mountains and stuff. :)
Amazing views up there my son and I hike to Little Jimmy camp and the springs then to windy gap but we never went to the top .
If you want to see snowy mountains, come to NH in the winter! I'd gladly go on a trip with you so you'd at least have some local eyes.
Good job brother! I like it
Hey Thomas, first I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of the channel and the work you guys do, keep it up! I also grew up in Ohio but moved to southern California for high school. Now I'm a wildlife biologist/botanist in the Bay area. I always had a fascination for mountains as a kid in Ohio and it's pretty cool that you had that same mentality as a youth. Consequently, the Yosemite video you guys did is one of my favorites. Anyway, cheers!
Great video!!
Thanks Peanut! -Thomas
Great video I will definitely do this hike on my trip in the fall! Mountains for sure because of the sweeping views but I’ve always been a fan of exploring sub tropical rainforests and wetlands like Everglades and swamp sanctuaries in Florida
Hey Thomas, I like your videos here in SoCal, because some areas I've been to and I like to watch someone else experienced things that I love, and some of them are places I have not been and things to be put on my bucket list.

I'm in KY. I would say mountains for me. I would love to go to Alaska one day. Hoping AA gets to make it out there soon.
Alaska is some place we'd love to go! It can just be a bit pricey for us and getting the time off from our real jobs is hard... -Thomas
Great video! Thanks for sharing! #1 would be snowy mountains :)
I like mountains. I live in Michigan and it's February. I have enough snow.
Have you hike Mt. Baden-Powell?That's a good hike also.
I grew up in LA. Closer to the beach than to the mountains. Now I live near the mountains and I'm in them all the time exploring. I can't imagine living where it's flat.
Was there this weekend, made it up to mount Baden Powell!
mountains 1st. River Gorges 2nd. Desert 3rd.
Coastal trails for me, Check out the East Coast Trail in NL!
The snowy, winter Western mountains are my favorite environment on the planet. Second place would go to snowy Japanese mountains.

I'd love to be able to hike the pacific north west. Rain forest + mountains.
Be careful out there. I live in idaho, and when the fires are so bad that the air is thick, I just don't hike as not to irritate my lungs.
Once again great video! I prefer the big mountains of the Sierras. The Adventure Archives team is awesome. Keep up the quality video making.
Thanks for the comment! Hopefully we'll get up to the Sierras this summer for something special :)
Glad to see the relation ship has not soured
That bastard! I thought we changed the password!
Came here for this haha
Come to the northwest in Washington or Oregon. We got loads of mountainous terrain p, a good number with snow near the peaks
Second this! The northwest is amazing. :D
PNW is my favorite area of the country!
sad to see that thomas is cast away to do his own videos in los angeles. hope the team is reunited one day
Come spend a couple weeks in New Hampshires White mountains. Some amazing climbs/hikes available and if you want snow you got it from Nov-April. Also Vermont, New York and Maine have great snowy mountains. New England in General is beautiful and amazing but Im biased because I live here :)
Love Hiking, Just did mount Wilson in California and planning to do Mount Baldy in 2 weeks, but the area name Devils back bone discourages me.
I would love to walk in the Mountains. Where I live in England we just have hills. John Muir Trail would be good. Now that's an idea for an video........
dope video...make them longer yo!!! keep up the good work =)

You guys should go to the Adirondacks in New York
YEP! Probably sooner than ya'll think! -Thomas
looks similar to beeks place in black star canyon Orange county 14.2 miles out and back
can you guys do a vid o. what you carry o. big trips
Hopefully sometime soon! The problem we have is, we're not the best at packing bags. We definitely tend to over pack especially with all our camera gear! -Thomas

Thanks for the reply! Who knows... maybe we'll get there some day!
I'd love to explore a tundra
Which trail did you take to get here? I start at Crystal Lake campground, but this looks a little different.
Bgm so good .can you tell me what is it?
Big Sky Open Prairies of the Dakotas

Great vid again but when was this filmed?

awesome! I just posted a vid doing that exact same trail in the snow for an overnight backpacking trip. Give it a look if you get a min. It's gorgeous in the snow
Just watched! It was so weird seeing the 2 covered in snow! I've always wanted to mountaineer to the top of Mt. Islip, but I haven't found anyone with the equipment or experience to do it with.
AdventureArchives hey thanks for watching! I'm local so any time.
If you don't see a big horn sheep, do they really exist?
What part of Ohio are you guys from? I'm from Cleveland. Love all your videos
Thanks much! We're from Columbus! Glad to see another Ohioan here! - Thomas
Have hiked here w/ Sharif aka Mike 👃🏼
Very good video, but could you all please make music that is more complementary to the nature? It sounds like a crappy 8 bit video game.
Thanks! We sorta compose the music based on things we like and how we feel. But I can understand how it doesn't necessarily fit the elegance of the landscape. Thanks for watching! -Thomas
Although I live in Hawaii I want to see a glacier and a iceberg in Alaska.
That would be pretty incredible - definitely a trip I'd like to make as well. I actually went to Hawaii for the first time this past summer, and I've been dying to go back, haha. -Andrew
