Ahhh…thank you for this taste of summer in the middle of winter. Simply sublime. I’m giddy with excitement for how awesome the streams will be this year after the monster storms we’ve had.
I did this hike with my 14yo son last July .we flew in from Australia and was supposed to hike in Yosemite but the washburn fire had just started .I was very proud of my son who hadn't done any hiking before and only arrived in USA 2 days before . He struggled the last mile and we had to stop every 100m for him to rest but we made it. Went back down and camped at flower lake . I have a 3ft long print on my wall of flower lake in the morning that I took
Going thru my dads old hunting cabinet I found an old USGS map of the Kearsarge area with his pencil marks. He marked out the trail he backpacked and the places he camped at sometime in the 70s. I plan on doing some backpacking starting next year. I intend to recreate his trip. Kearsarge Pass>Charlotte Lake>Gardner Pass>Gardner Creek>60 Lakes Basin> Rae Lakes>Glen Pass> then back out over Kearsarge Pass.
Scott also I looked up the map from the Trail Head to the Pass is only 4.1 miles...so basically 8.2 roundtrip. I was wondering how you got to the 11 mile number?
Something is meant to be found, and I am glad that I came across your video. As someone who was making adventure videos on TH-cam and also lost the drive, spirit, soul, and finding this brings all the greatest feelings that I once knew. Thank you so much for bringing and sharing this with us, because it showed me what I have been missing in my life. Thank you and wish you good luck on your journeys. :)
What a content, what a magnificent work!!! Brilliant video, so much effort has been put into this video that it is easy to see in every shot my friend!
Very nice video, Scott. Drone shots were a nice way to begin the video. Have you hiked down to the lakes. I was thinking of doing to reverse route from Bubbs Creek to Kearsarge and hike up to the top of the pass for either a sunrise or sunset view. What's it like hiking from the western side up to the top?
Thank you! Yes, been up and over to the lakes (July of 2023 I believe). Great experience and will be headed back this summer. Just love the area so much. Hiking up the western slip of Kearsarge is short and sweet, and snow free in the summer.
Mid-summer hike to all of these spectacular wild trout lakes - and no fishing? Perhaps you did..., 😊 but simply chose not to reveal it here in this video. Anyway, awesome content as always Scotty!
We make the hike this past week we just make it rigth after heart Lake the altitud make us feel bad a bit and we decided to go back but was amazing, we are going to make it again in the summer 100% to kearsage lakes thank you for your help
I agree. The grade on this trail made for an easier incline, although I stopped at Flower Lake to camp and didn't finish the last part. The pass is still on my bucket list. 🪣

Thats an awesome trip for you. A lucky son
That is lovely indeed when the experience is shared with family.

Definitely one of my favorite trails. Great footage.

I've hiked up Kearsarge several times and the trail is great, but sometimes parking is a hassle even in the middle of the week! Cool video!
Looks like a beautiful place to hike. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Thank you for the all the hard work on your videos! Cheers from Colorado!
Gorgeous! If I lived close by, I'd hike it all the time too- never gets old as it changes every time. 😀
Agreed!

So many lakes to explore!
