what an amazing family tradition! and a brilliant, inspiring video! thank you for sharing it with the world this way!
Thank heavens for Nick Kristof and his lovely family who remind us that there is still beauty and goodness left in these very dark times. May we all come out into the light.
LOVE this!! Thank you to you and your family for sharing the joy. I know from reading your dad's columns over the years what a loving heart he has, and it looks like he passed that on to you, Caroline, and I'm so glad for that.
Love the video, as I do all of your dad's writings! Thanks so much. You should come up to Canada 🇨🇦 here for one of our great hikes sometime soon.
Impressive peak ridge! Very courageous. Beautiful footage, too. Thanks for sharing.
This is fabulous! What an adventure. Thanks for such beautiful documentation. I remember when your Dad left me and Saumya Dave ( his Win a Trip fellow travelers in 2011) a few hours early in Morocco so he could return home to see you before you left for camp. I thought then, what a great Dad - and I am still convinced of that.
really lovely. locked down in England for the last five months, a wonderful escape.
Beautiful! Thanks for the great video. Love your dad!
As a native Oregonian who grandma was a Mazama I've enjoyed hiking around Mt Hood and the Mt Jefferson wilderness but those day are behind me now. I was able to enjoy the beauty of hiking again by watching and reading your family trips Nick, thank you for that🌞
This is amazing and sweet and funny and touching and awesome and... well, so fun to see another side of a favored columnist, and his lovely family! Thank you!
What a splendid and kind of scary hike that was. Enjoyed it. Thanks Caroline and to your dad for posting the link.
Thanks for sharing the beauty and adventure!
Loved this! What a wonderful adventure
I could not love this family more!
What an adventure! I am one of your Canadian fans and read every word you write as often as possible. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Caroline. Loved your dad's article in Backpacking mag last year. While I love your dad's writing, the best part was your unique voice. My 16 yr old son has been rambling in the Sierra back country with me the last few years. Now my three older daughters are jumping onto the trails with me.
Thank you for sharing your family's hike through the PNT.. Your video is wonderful and makes me long for a second life where I have no fear of heights whatsoever. Thankfully, I got to see how beautiful (and high) the trail takes you. You've got a great family! I hope we'll see more of your videos.
Well done and thanks for sharing! One can sense the joy from observing your expressions. I just finished some awesome backpacking in Mount Rainier National Park and you've sparked my interest in Montana and Idaho. Happy trails to all of you Kristofs!
Wow! Very impressive and thank you for sharing.
Caroline, been great to see you in pictures through the years. I'm glad you're still getting your dad out there.
Amazing! Congratulations!
Beyond inspiring to see such a great father/daughter team ❤️
Thank you for sharing this joy in the middle of the pandemic. Inspiring!
A wonderful treat to vicariously see and enjoy the beauty of our wilderness. I am 82 and although camped and canoed, etc., never really hiked except up and over the Presidentials in New Hampshire when a teenager. So please know what a gift you give us each year with your columns about your family hikes, and now this great video so we can see it too!!! Much gratitude to you all.
such vicarious pleasure! thank you! beautifully done vid, wonderful family.
wonderfully done !
Lovely! Thank you.
This was INSPIRING !. Thanks for sharing. Your dad has inspired me for years with his NYT columns. So cool to see that Yamhill neighbors are doing these great things. btw, the knife ridge and handstand shots are excellent.
Thank you for sharing your family's adventure. Your video is a great example of what a healthy family can do despite what is happening in the world around them. Be healthy, stay strong, and never back down!
Way to go! I hope i can convince my daughters to do something like that someday- you inspire us! :)
Great story. Well done!
Big Props all around!
Its so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this. One day I'd live to take my sons over the PCT and PNT.
Love the views and the humor under incredible obstacles...hope you'll post more!
So nice! Your dad was an early supporter of my hiking and videos, and it's been so cool to see you both out hiking the PCT over the years, and now the PNT. I hope to get on this one too very soon. Happy hiking!
What a nice family. Breathing some good air and working your muscles. We don't need no stinking virus! Your smiling faces make me smile!
Wow, looks impressive. I would have been crawling along the rocks too. Welcome back, check for ticks. :)
Thanks for sharing part of your hike with us!
Wow, what an adventure! Was this the hardest and best hike you have ever done? have a few years to get my kids ready for this and join you Caroline! I am up for it 🤗. Love the video too and will show Jake and James.
Amazing!
you guys rock! even on the rocks... like a martini but better...
I enjoyed your hike and the beauty you share!
You’re so self confident to wear shorts on that rocky trail! Hiking in the mountains of northern Utah made me a proponent of hiking pants in order to conserve blood🥴
Gorgeous! Did you run into any bears?
Great Father and Daughter adventures. So who are the other two people filming this trip?
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing a piece of your great trip with us all.
Working on "Tightrope" right now. Boy, I may need a sojourn to the mountains after finishing this important, but depressing American narrative.
Stunning! How long did it take you all to complete the trail?
Caroline, to cut down on the wind-noise in your video(-'s), buy a microphone windsock and cover the mic with it. In case you have an "internal mic", buy an external (shoe-mount-) mic, they normally come with a wind-sock. The sock does NOT impede the recording, but will just cut out the shrieking wind. Enjoy!
I tend to think of most treks in the Western US as being along smooth paths, and much easier than our New England, boulder- and root strewn trails. However, your transverse of the knife edge over Northwest Peak outdoes our knife edge trail on Katahdin, in Maine!
You should come enjoy some of the great trails of the Pacific Northwest -- the Wonderland Trail at Mt Rainier National Park, The Pacific Crest Trail, or the Pacific Northwest Trail.
At 2:45 - You guys are crazy!!! However, I enjoyed hiking with you vicariously. . . . . .
Beautiful - who was your official photographer???
You rock!
It looks dangerous!
Love this so happy for you guys, those forever memories are so important. Glad that there were no bears, and yes I saw the bear pepper spray, always a great choice. You guys should check out the A T appalachiantrail.org/explore/ I would like to the the Thru-hike, like Grandma Gatewood did.
I do not understand climbing along a ridge with drops either side....nor sleeping without a tent...what about bears at night....way too dangerous...mountains I adore but always in safety !
No captioning. No cc button even for Google's automatic captioning. Disappointing. Pretty pictures but hard of hearing folks like me can't get access to audio content.
Hi Margaret, so sorry about that. There is a CC button now. I hope you can enjoy, and happy new year!
