What beautiful and rugged country. Don't think I would want to be up there in snow season. Your trail pack is growing. What a nice addition. Glad to you got to do the pass. Take care, Al
Those Cabinet Mountains are gorgeous! The Upper Lake was beautiful! Buck Pass was awesome! It’s always nice to see friends on the trail! You had some fall colors too! 🍻 CP
Wow Travis what a stunning hike! Breathtaking scenery filmed perfectly by yourself, the colours of the bushes and trees, the pine clad mountains, how lucky you are to be able to walk in such beauty. Just about to watch it again!!! Thank you!!
Outstanding colors on this trip. What a campsite the first night. And the views from the pass were incredible too. Sarah is smart to keep the hound dog on a leash. In Tennessee bear hunting with dogs is allowed and you'd be surprised how many hounds dogs I run into that are separated from hunters this time of year. Of course the dogs have radio collars and the owners are tracking them. At a price of about $4,000, even some as high as $10,000, it may take a day or two, but the owners will eventually catch them.
I know they can very expensive. We did spook something big on our way out. Did get to see it, but it was big. I'm guessing it was a moose. But we got to hear Boone start howling!
Blitz is a beautiful dog ❤and the new addition Boon❤ Great impression of “what’s his name” Jesse 😂😂 The shot at 13:50…oh boy. That mountainside took my breath away ❤ Nothing beats my lunch break with you all ❤. Thank you always!
We're getting quite the pack! Blitz (in case you were wondering) is full blooded Alaskan Malamute and quite large! Sara has managed to get Boone in shape and put some weight on him. Last time I talked to Sara, he was doing well.
@@mountainwanderer so cool Sara got to keep him, he’ll have a great life hiking with the gang. Alaskan Malamute …wow he’s huge! My sis got the Altras🙌🏼. Thanks Val 👍. We’ll try and get them dirty in the eastern sierras here real soon 🥾
I took my partner on her first backpacking trip to Geiger Lake back in July. Went up to the upper lake, but it was pretty snowed in, so we headed back down to the lower lake. After listening to the loons for a while, we settled in, then the storm moved in. I've never experienced lightning like that and never want to again! Loved the views though!
Travis another fantastic adventure! As I was watching I had google earth pulled up to look at the area you were in. Tell Jesse that was a solid Walken impersonation LOL
Such a love hate with your videos. Very well done and love watching them, but hate seeing them because they make me miss the Cabinets so much! They actually make me home sick for a place I've never lived.
Really enjoyed this one. The shots you took around Lost Buck Pass, amazing. Especially the one with Jess and his faithful companion checking out the views. Heading over to Hyoh-Wu right now to check out HIS interpretation of the trip.
Noticed where you put up your tarp. I was just up there and didn’t bother trying to fit my 12’ tarp in that spot, so hung my hammock between the two trees by the fire ring without a tarp. The next morning I walked down to the other end of the lake and it looks like that spot in the trees could accommodate a couple hammock tarps. Hiked up Swamp Creek in the triple digit weather. Was pretty brutal, but fun. Had it all to myself for about 15 minutes before a trail maintenance crew of 6 came down from the ridge trail up above. They were pretty good company.
WHAT GORGE COLORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE CAMP AREA WAS LIKE A DREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH ELAVATION ON TRAIL ???? STEADY OR A KNEE BUSTER ?????? SORRY ABOUT UR BUDDY. THAT STRONG OF FEAR NEEDS WRKD ON !!! OUT THERE FEAR CANT B ALLOWED TO CONTROL YA CUZ IT MIGHT CAUSE U 2 MAKE BAD CHOICES THAT B LIFE THREATING !!!
Upper Geiger lake was my first backpack over night camp out. That was 1966. We saw a moose at lower Geiger. Great memories.
I imagine that the area was a little wilder then!

I wish that I could get up there in the winter! That would be something to see!
Man what a place. Love that yellow fall grass.
The colors were just getting started... but fall colors would be something a New Englander would know a lot about!
Gorgeous hike my friend, this looks absolutely stunning! Trail is so enchanting and picturesque, simply brilliant presentation!🥾🥾
Thank you! Thank you for watching!

This fall was just amazing! This trip was the start of a 3 trip season finale in the autumn glory. My favorite time of year!
Rules of packing.
1) Make sure your matches are kept dry.
2) Never let someone else pack your whiskey!
Pro Tip!

Beautiful colors and scenery. Boon is a cutie, I am sure a wonderful new addition to the team. Thanks for sharing. :) :)
I hear that Boone is doing well and will be ready for hiking season next year!
Looks like an amazing place to be a wanderer, thanks for the look around.
Thanks for checking it out!
You always make great videos! Love the Cabinets! And miss them greatly already. Glad to watch all your videos. Keeps my memory fresh! Awesome hike!
Thank you very much! The Cabinets are special! They pack a lot into that little range!
Thanks for more of the Cabinet Mountains!
I'm here for all of the magic of the Cabinets!

How Cool! I've been in a couple serious thunder storms myself while in Cabinets! They can be intense!
Great fall hiking in the Inland NW!
Absolutely!
It's a very beautiful place
The Cabinets are something special!
Travis another fantastic adventure! As I was watching I had google earth pulled up to look at the area you were in. Tell Jesse that was a solid Walken impersonation LOL
I do that all of the time when I'm watching videos! Thought I might be the only one. Thanks for checking it out!
Such a love hate with your videos. Very well done and love watching them, but hate seeing them because they make me miss the Cabinets so much! They actually make me home sick for a place I've never lived.
Ha! The Cabinets are a special place for sure!
Awesome video Trav. You made the fall colors really pop. Hell of a trip.
Fantastic trip! Glad I finally got to go through that pass!
Nice Christopher Walken impression 🙂
Awesome video! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!

This was a great trip! I was glad that Jesse was able to get down the mountain...

Nice to hear you made it to the Cabinets!
@@mountainwanderer Went too fast. Always does.
Camped at Libby this past July, exploring Bull Lake area.
Love the Cabinets!
Man those fall colours are poppin. Amazing looking area. You do quite a bit of back country camping, do you ever come across bears?
For sure! The last one we saw was on our Granite Lake trip in the Beartooths. I don't see them that often, but I've had some encounters.
WHAT GORGE COLORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THE CAMP AREA WAS LIKE A DREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUCH ELAVATION ON TRAIL ???? STEADY OR A KNEE BUSTER ??????
SORRY ABOUT UR BUDDY. THAT STRONG OF FEAR NEEDS WRKD ON !!!
OUT THERE FEAR CANT B ALLOWED TO CONTROL YA CUZ IT MIGHT CAUSE U 2 MAKE BAD CHOICES THAT B LIFE THREATING !!!
For me - getting down in to Swamp Creek was a long haul, but it was long because the grade of the trail was very mellow. So not too hard on the knees.
No Timber this trip?
He stayed behind on this one.
