- This breathtaking hike in the San Juan national forest of Colorado will leave you speechless! We start this hike in the South Mineral campground across the street from the trail head. Starting at well over 10,000 feet of elevation. The trail is 6.8 miles round trip. It took us three hours to reach Ice Lake and it was so beautiful! You cannot miss this hike if your in the area. We drive pass Silverton, Colorado to find dispersed camping. For dinner Kellie makes salmon hibachi.

When I hear a lot of Cicadas near water, I always fish with artificials, with my fly rod. The fish hit them hard!
The Lake and the Flowers are your reward. Thanks for taking us along with you.
A little preview of paradise, maybe? God is so awesome.
Thanks for taking us with you. ❤😊
Best video ever, the hike, flowers, falls, lake and especially the salmon.
Thank you for taking us to such an amazing place!!!! ...and how can you not love Pikas!
The lake was amazing. Boy, I bet you both passed out for the night✨
Guys guys guys!! That’s the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen 🥰 God’s handiwork 🙏 I’m so glad you took us along! Thank you both! That truly made my evening! Love y’all 💜
You two are made for one another. Cody is so laid back and Kelli, you can get a bit frustrated at times, but Cody just listens and behaves like a good husband. LOL...Oh, I'm sure Cody has his moments as well. That's what makes a great couple. Living in such close quarters is a challenge. That's why you two can make it happen!
YES CODY !!
IT LOOKS LIKE THE SOUND OF MUSIC ❤
Thank you❤! My wife and I are in our seventies have followed you from the beginning but this video was off the charts we never could never do this may God bless you and keep you both safe!

Beautiful flowers,trees and animals and bluest water I have ever seen. Enjoyed the waterfalls too❤
That blue lake was the reward for that long hike. You guys should get some walking poles to hike with. It helps with back and leg pain.

Yup! It was THAT blue! Gorgeous! Your videos of the macro and micro are so good for sharing the entire experience. And yes, it’s the year of the locusts!
The lake and scenery on your hike was breathtaking. Thank you so much for always taking the time to include the plants, trees, water features, and wildlife you see. Those are so special. The flowers were beautifl! Happy camping 😊.
At 17:56 The hills are alive with the sound of,,,, Pikas 😅
Thank you Kelly an Cody for Sharing this Video 🌿👍❤️👍🌿
Absolutely Beyond Words to describe the Beauty.....
Beautiful hike. We did the Ouray Perimeter Trail yesterday. It was pretty difficult for 2 68 year old ladies. It was awesome to accomplish it and it was beautiful.
Welcome to my world!! Love the high lonesome!!!
I don’t often comment but wow the colour of that lake Mother Nature is truly brilliant. Thank you both so much for all the pain you went through to get us there. I really do appreciate it as I’m sure all your followers. Your next cookbook could have photos through out all the amazing scenery we get to see. That lake is definitely one of them. Thank you. Cheers Lynne from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻💜💙 ps those little creatures are soooooo cute.
That hike was amazing. The beautiful scenery and the blue lake is stunning. I especially love the view and looking down the spine of the mountain range. Incredible! Thank you for taking us there and for sharing your experience. I loved every second of it.
We use to live in Bend Oregon before the Recession, left in 2011. Then we moved to RI. Now we are OG in the Siskiyou NF. Traveled 3100 miles cross country in our F350 & Lance truck camper.
Y’all I went back and started watching the older videos when y’all where in a tent they were AWESOME 👏 👏👏👏 not to say the new videos are also Awesome thanks y’all
Can't imagine how much more gorgeous the views on that trail are in real life. 😍😍
I ve been tuning into to y'all's channel for a couple years now and I have to say I think this is the most beautiful hike y'all ever taking us on simply gorgeous 😍😍😍
Flowers like the sound of music. Appreciate the time you spend on editing! Thanks
Absolutely beautiful scenery. Loved the wild flowers, water falls and that blue, blue lake. Thanks for letting me tag along.
Speaking of geeking out. The shot at 8:08 is just spectacular. If you zoom in you can see all of the avalanche paths up close. I imagine people ski and snowboard all over those mountains.
Haha, right before Cody said, "It's like the Sound of Music up here," I said, "Where's Julie Andrews?" She should be frolicking about up there! 😂 Beautiful hike!
Thanks Soooo much for taking us on that amazing hike. How beautiful!!!! 🌺❣️🌺❣️
Kelli is a trooper, Cody too. ❤
Went out exploring in Colorado once with my sister. We were seeing fish in a little river and my sister reached in and caught one with her bare hands. She’s celebrating her 80th birthday today.
Happy Birthday !
Happy birthday 🎉
+I agree with the other comments beautiful. talk about loosing stuff, my wife and I were hiking this morning just 5 miles and I had a big brim hat. I got hot so I was holding it in my hand for a while, then I put it on. About ten minuets later I said where is my hat{ I thought I had it in my hand} my wife started to laugh then I remembered it is on my head. Dumb Be safe and may God Bless you
That's an aggressive hike!! That's a huge increase in elevation in a single day hike. Awesome hike and views!!
Thank you 💕 love this trail Jo it's beautiful love 💕 you two
Nice long hike hot shower great dinner I know two people that will sleep great 😂
That was the most pristine wilderness I have ever seen. Such a beautiful hike. Thanks for taking us with you.
Wow,The mountains and the lake is so beautiful, God does beautiful work!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Fantastically divine ✨️ I got to hike most of the Olympic mountains and the Pacific crest trail and each time no matter how difficult levels of the hike it made up for witnessing and appretiating Gods gifts of the alpine lakes and mountains ⛰️ It was as though i was in a whole different world filled with his majesty in awe! Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing this spectacular piece of Heaven and that what we call Onolicious Salmon dinner 😋! Aloha ❤
I gasped when you threw out the salmon skin! Crisp it up and it tastes great with rice plus that’s where the healthy Omega 3 is!
3:02. Brook trout. Native yo eastern US and Canadian wates. Widely successfully transplanted throughout the US because they do not require running water to spawn at other trout species do.. they reproduce in spring fed lakes and ponds without inlet or outlet.
I was so happy when I saw that you had posted a video. It made me Sunday evening!!
💫🧚♂️💫
I can believe it, the San Juans (Saint Johns) are a crown jewel indeed.
I’m impressed you cooked dinner after that hike. I think it would have been cereal for me.
What beautiful scenery thank you for sharing. Nobody up there to pollute that lake.
Pika’s (pee•kuh) are one of my favorite animals too!! They were also one of my son’s favorite as well. They are the cutest 💗
That was a spectacular video of an incredible area of our country. Thank you, and congrats on a very tough hike. It was worth it (says the guy sitting in his easy chair watching the vlog). 😁🤓👍
Colorado has such epic beauty...that hike was simply Magnificent...glad you went so I could follow!
We stopped in Ouray this summer for 3 nights on our way back to Louisiana from Utah. I think the San Juan's are our favorite part of Colorado.
Love those gorgeous San Juan mountains....enjoy for all of us!!!!big hugs.
great hike, great vid. I passed thru Silverton and Ouray a couple of days ago. Thought about you guys and your last vid. Just fyi….the single blue flower with the bee is gentian ( pronounced gent-shun)….pink flowers are fireweed….and they are one of the first things to grow on a recent burn area. the cluster of purple flowers are larkspur. just in case you didn’t know. The white, pink and pale yellow flowers in meadow are Indian paintbrush
Wow!!! You guys did a big Hike! Ice Lake was worth it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Cody, you are looking lean and mean.
I'm still enjoying my way through your old vlogs.
I remember watching you make delicious meals but there were times I wondered where the vegetables were 😄
The dinner that you cooked looked so delicious! Hope you slept well after that big day. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your experiences! My wife and I enjoy watching your videos!
Cody is your back all better now? Hopefully so. Disregard this if you’ve seen it already… you answered it further in the vlog😊
It's too bad you didn't make it over to the other two lakes up there. You did the hardest part. I miss the days when I could camp up there At the lake and not see anyone for days. We've got a lot of lakes this year extra blue. Glad you guys are enjoying your trip here. happy camping.
What an absolutely stunning place!! Thank you so much for taking us here!
Thanks for sharing this journey with me. Safe Travels Always God Bless Y'all Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan ❤❤❤
How beautiful! You guys are champs! Always good energy and push through even when you’re exhausted! Keep loving life!✨✨✨
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. One thing you have mentioned a couple of times is when descending or climbing a hill is that the camera just doesn't relay the actual slope very well. You are certainly right. I don't know which type of phone you have. But the Android system has clinomenters available in the play store for their phones. I imagine Apple/iPhone store has similar applications. The clinometer is very easy to use. Sure would be great to have some idea of attack you are doing! Have a Great Day!
I think that this is the most scenic place that you guys have taken me!
Absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing from an elderly in New Mexico.
I do prefer a hike where you ascend on the front end. At Petit Jean state park, the hike is all downhill to the falls and you have the uphill climb to look forward when you’re already a bit tired. Ha
Acompanhado aqui do Brasil. Quando falam inglês devagar da para entender bem. Adorei as imagens dos detalhes do passeio. Saúde e prosperidade. Até o próximo vídeo. 🇧🇷
Wow! Thank You for taking us along on your adventure. Blue Lake may be glacier fed. Your celebration dinner looked soooo delicious! Bon Appetit 😊
Cody Cody Cody
Between there and there is called a saddle 😂
Love your content
Super video! What incredible scenery, especially about 20:12 when Kellie starts down the steep trail. Wowwee!! Safe travels.
The gravel road on my property is like that! Don’t let it fool ya!! It may be steeper then it looks & you could get hurt misjudging it!!
Thankyou Kelly and Cody immensely I was so impressed with your content Cody I'm with you always loosing stuff like keys Sunglasses my hand bag😂😂your not alone .omg where you take us is well just awesome breathtaking scenery, I took a.photo of my TV and going to get it printed and framed i know weird but i will never get to see it in real life😅love your T shirt Kelly I remember when you go it😅 ,anywho love to you both stay safe stay Happy love ❤️ from Me V Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ ♥️
I am sorry that walk was ruff on you both but those views were amazing!
Very nice! We hiked to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park a week ago, close second.
Wow. That's a gorgeous hike. And I've done my share of beautiful hikes.
I can only imagine heaven looking like that 😊 good job guys on the hike 👏
That was absolutely stunning lake and hike. You guys rock. Kelly what a trooper. Cooking after that hike. I would have just had a sandwich. LOL
Wow!!! That's a beautiful hike and the blue lake was the reward. Video doesn't do justice.
When hiking. Do you ever come across any wild animals like wolves or snakes?
The salmon skin is the best part
Thanks for an awesome video
We come across snakes in the south but nothing else threatening
What a majestic place! Thank y'all for showing us this beauty
Health bars are gross , yess chalky, lol 😂 omg the blue wafer is gorgeous, then half clear wow amazing ,
Such a stunning hike, I'm so grateful you shared this adventure. Wow.
WOW! Something about pine trees in the mountains , just breathe taking! Beautiful scenery , and the lake was stunning!
You guys that lake and that meadow of flowers up there was so worth it…I could hardly take my eye off it all!
That was simply gorgeous! The Little creatures, the flowers, The waterfalls, That gorgeous blue like! That was amazing. And the drone footage, absolutely great!!! And Kelly's comment towards the end about folding in the stuff!! David It says just fold it in. What was that movie from?!!? I can't remember the name of it now but that was so hilarious!!! I busted a gut on that one. ✌️😎🇺🇲
Schitts Creek! Love that show
You guys ever come north, upstate ny you need to stop and check out Greenlakes state park. It’s just like this lake, absolutely breath taking. Also check out Letchworth State park too. You won’t regret them.❤❤❤❤❤
Thx for showing that trail! I can only imagine the lung capacity a person needs to hike that one! Great ob and ATB!
Beautiful water! Keep on keeping on. 🌻❤️
If you travel to Bryce Canyon in Utah, they have some amazing BLM Campsites in Forests, with flat sites. You would love it.
It really does look like heaven ❤😮 stunning 💘
You are my new heroes....👋👋
