Backpacking to Baron Lakes in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness | The Sawtooth Wilderness in Idaho

- This was a solo backpacking trip in mid August 2022, it was roughly 20 miles out-and-back and a fairly challenging hike with an elevation gain of 3000'. The journey began with a shuttle boat across Redfish Lake, from there, it was roughly 10 miles to Baron Lakes. The lakes have an amazing fluorescent neon turquoise blue color and there are incredible views of the jagged Sawtooth Mountains along the hike. There are plenty of water sources and plenty of shade along the way.
We are Beata and Clint. We are a husband and wife that have embarked on a mission to capture the beauty of this little planet and to share it with you, in hopes of inspiring you to get out in nature, as we were inspired by others.
We enjoy day hiking, night hiking, backpacking, mountain biking; day or night riding, rock hounding, skiing, snowshoeing, exploring, and photography.

I am sure glad I stumbled upon your channel. I wish I was 30 years younger and had access to the modern backpacking equipment available these days.
I love the videos and if you would take a request I would suggest Airplane Lake or Arrowhead Lake in the Wildhorse drainage of the Big Lost. I can no longer hike and sure wish I could see them, maybe you two will give me the opportunity.
Hi Troyrider, thanks for the comment! Yes, backpacking gear has gotten so much better and lighter, thankfully. Great suggestions! We already tried to get to Arrowhead lake last year but we were thwarted by massive amounts of snow. Still planning on getting up there soon and making a video. I’ve never heard of Airplane lake, but we will check it out for sure. So much awesome stuff to see in Copper Basin!
Airplane lake is also known as Wildhorse lake.
WOW THIS ALPINE LAKE SO PRISTINE.
NO POLUTION CLEAN NO NOISE POLUTION AND PURE CLEAN WATER .
PARADISE ON EARTH.
ONE ONE DAY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT THIS HEAVENLY REGION.
IS THIS A NATIONAL PARK ?
IS HUNTIN AND FISHIN ALLOWED ?
WHAT ABOUT HORSE RIDIN ?
WHAT ABOUT PREDATORS ?
ANY GRIZZLYS BROWN BEARS OR BLACK BEARS MOUNTAIN LIONS OR WOLVES ?
No, it’s not a National Park, but it is a Wilderness. Hunting is not allowed, but we’ve seen people fishing and riding a horses. Of course there are wild animals like bears and mountain lions so you do have to keep an eye open and hang your food in a tree using a bear bag. We hope you get a chance to explore this amazing area sometime in the future!
What time of the year did you do this? Absolutely gorgeous
This was August 9th. It was quite amazing when the sun came out and made the water almost seem to glow.
We had the same campsite! Fantastic lakes💯
That spot was awesome, great minds think alike. 😀
This area looks a lot like Oregon's Wallowa Mtns. Maybe it's the same geologically (but not necessarily - Vermont's Green Mtns look like NY's Adirondacks at first glance but geologically they are VERY different).
Thanks for the comment! i’m curious what your thoughts would be on the Lemhi range. In our shadow Lakes video, you can see that the mountains are formed by stratified layers of rock twisted up on their sides. It’s an interesting area geologically.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing :)
We are happy you enjoyed the video. Stanley, Idaho, is such a unique area, especially Baron Lakes, because of the turquoise water and surrounding jagged mountains. It’s one of our favorite places to hike. 😊
It is so beautiful out there! I did the wilderness loop starting at grandjean last summer. Prettiest and most epic hike I've been on. Great video.
Thanks Brian! We have never been over to the grandjean side. I bet that was an amazing hike!
@@beataclintadventures304 it absolutely is! Definitely recommended!
Where did you get your watch? It has all the information on it that I want when I go hiking.
Hi Joanne! My watch is a Fenix 6x Sapphire. Once the 7x came out, I was able to get the 6x for a lower price. It is so awesome! The battery lasts forever and it has full topo maps loaded on it. You can configure each screen with up to 7 data read outs. I’m really happy with it.
@@beataclintadventures304 thank you Clint for your quick reply. I am enjoying your videos and I am a new subscriber. I used to backpack, but can only hike now.
What was the mileage and elevation gain?
If you use the Redfish lake shuttle to take you across Redfish lake, it is just under 10 miles with 2800 feet vertical to Barron lake.
50lb pack is crazy. You could easily cut that weight in half and have a much more enjoyable trip
For sure! This year my goal is 36lbs pack weight and also I’ll be 20 lbs lighter! Going to have to get a lighter sleeping pad at a minimum, so that’s going to hurt my wallet.
A bit of constructive criticism...make the music lower in volume, so it's background music, not on the same level as the narrative...seems to be the same case in other videos too...other than that, good job.
Thanks for the advice! The sound portion of editing is the hardest part to get right.
