The snowfield in the upper basin ... might want to bring snowshoes based on personal experience. Going up was fine, coming down it had warmed enough that post holing was a real issue. Was glad I had them and it was entertaining watching a group of 10-12 flop, roll, across it. They were wrecked by the time they got across.
The drone footage really adds to the experience. Production quality is a drastic change from earlier videos. Love it.
Thanks man, have made an effort to significantly improve camera shots, quality and edits - more improvements coming very soon.
Next door is the three apostles w/ ice Mt in the center ,nice climb from waterloo creek up the shoestring glacier
Good shots of them in the video footage background
Great ridge between them too
May be the best 13er ( almost a 14er .
The first mile and the last very long hill to the summit were quite steep. Because of that, we have found a good number of fourteeners that were easier to hike
why doesn’t this guy have more subs the production quality and info is so damn good
Juno, a drone, a camera, hiking, instruction... looks like work lol drone footage is getting better Sherpa! ✌️
Keep explaining mountain safety ,what to look for what to expect ,when and why to bail out .
LOL puppy just SPRINTING up Huron. If only we all had that energy....
She really is just a hiking machine. Bananas levels of energy at all times.
I just discovered your channel the other day and I have been binge watching your videos. This one so far is my favorite. Thank you for being so informative! I have learned so much from you already. Also, juno is a tank and I loved her reaction to the snow! I am looking forward to hiking my first 14er here soon and these videos have inspired me to much! Sending love and a huge thank you from Oklahoma!
Can't wait to hike there one day! Thanks for sharing
my first 14er and so far my favorite!
Great job as usual. Always gets me ready for my summer Colorado trips and 14er hikes.
I really like the style of your videos these days. Good work, bro.
Thanks for all the tips! Can’t wait to hike it!
Love the drone footage and music to go with it! Juno is a beast!
Thanks Mickey. Another great video, man. Is this the standard route / Trailhead that is between Leadville and BV?
Yes this is - I have a video on the other route as well in case you are interested: th-cam.com/video/K_CA4yQLGE4/w-d-xo.html
Outstanding video quality. Very helpful! Super job Sherpa!
Beautiful views from up there. Last time I did Huron seemed to be more of a work out than I anticipated. Great hike to do La Plata from the Winfield area.
I truly forgot how beautiful this hike was very, very pretty.
These videos are SO good and you deserve so much more viewership. Thank you for making these and I enjoy them thoroughly.
Noodle thanks! Glad you enjoy them.
One of my favorites!
Thank you for this!! Have been planning a trip to climb Huron and was having some doubts about the class 2 portion on the ridge, but it looks like it's very manageable. I looked for a Huron video from you about a week ago and couldn't find one. So glad I checked again! Super helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful, I didn't have a video the first time I hiked this along with a handful of others so slowly working back to create those!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Definitely dog friendly too.
I am 52 years old. I have excepted a lifestyle change and started to take better care of myself (meaning I lost weight via changing my diet and exercising). I am setting goals for myself and plan to stay active for the rest of my life. I used to live in CO. I always wanted to climb Longs Peak. After watching your videos, Huron may be better for me to start. I plan to come in once a year, until I retire, to summit some mountains. Can you suggest a couple I should practice on before passing the Keyhole to Longs Peak? BTW I love watching your channel.
Love to hear it and good for you! Think you will find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/00hAFf51AfU/w-d-xo.html be sure to check out the blog in that video’s description as well as it adds more context. Best of luck!
Thank you very much for your help!
I can’t believe you don’t have a bada_s 4wd with all the hiking you do. I love your videos, watched a ton, but maybe time for some new background tunes? 😂
Post videos every single week, they all have new music now.
Great video! Been looking for something to view the 4wd drive road in more detail. Have a stock Jeep Wrangler and it looks doable. Thanks for the content, it’s extremely helpful. 👍
100%
When do you do most of your 14ers? You are always the only one on the trail which is awesome! Im sick of leaving at 3 to beat the crowds. Also...whats the song with drone footage? Love your videos!
If I told ya, I wouldn’t have the hikes to myself anymore 😂. But seriously, most of the time lots of editing and spacing when filming.
im driving to colorado late July. last year I needed an ice axe. This year it seems like snow is melting faster
Beautiful hike! I've heard it has some of the best views of any fourteener! What's your opinion on that? Thanks again for the always wonderful videos! Keep up the good work bro.
Its funny, the first time around I had strong opinions about certain peaks but I am finding that hiking them a second or third time I see things slightly differently for some. In general, I love any very secluded 14er (down south typically) and anytime the hike has snow on the mountains as well. Huron is very pretty though as long as its not super crowded. For me, that takes away from the hike.
Hey Mickey, I hope you get this because I am having a hard time finding info on it. Are Huron peak and Mount Elbert similar views or way different? I am thinking of doing two 14ers on my next trip to Colorado that are class 1-2 that aren’t too similar. Appreciate an answer and love your channel!
Huron is far superior than Elbert in my opinion but both offer great views.
Very nice...Im a little confused tho and been looking at maps and mapping apps--Is the Lake Ann TH the same as the TH South Clear Creek (also Clear Creek South Fork TH) on the Natgeo maps. Cant find a TH labeled Lake Ann on Gaia or COTREX. Also...it looks like there is dispersed camping in that creek area, is that correct?! Thanks! (asking because will be driving / parking with a Honda CRV an curious how far in we can take that). Also I assuming there is no camping areas one on the trail, before exiting tree line?
www.thevirtualsherpa.com/huron-peak-hike-review/ - This should help with everything you need including how far you can drive to the TH.
@@TheVirtualsherpa perfect you've covered everything! Thanks.
Great video, as always - at 5:44 you say 'came across the frozen lake' - seems a bit dangerous if one is not familiar with condition of the ice below the snow, no ?
Not really a lake, more like a big puddle
R.I.P. Juno.
awesome
When did you hike it? Is it always that snow covered?
Typically not covered in snow once July rolls around but every year is slightly different. For all of my videos, I have a hike guide linked in the description and if you scroll down to the route portion you can see the date hiked. For this one, I hiked this in late May on a relatively average snow year for us.
What time of year do you recommend this hike for beginners?
July - end of September 👍🏽
How's the camping in this area?
Really solid - more on that here: www.thevirtualsherpa.com/huron-peak-hike-review/
