- While it seems like the snow is melting quickly, in the high country it is still sticking around. For this trip we opt'ed for a route that we have done portions of before. We would start out on trail #20 and hike in to Jordan Camp. From Jordan Camp we would take road #412 up on to the ridge. If we could find water up there we would camp up there. From there we would link up with road #3099 and then get on trail #309 which would take up back to the truck.
The weather for the trip was supposed to be rainy to start out, but then better as the trip went on.
This trip was filled with adventure as we ran into to snow once we got in to the higher elevations.
Beautiful,, thank you for showing some gorgeous night sky,,, 💕🌠
You're welcome! Hopefully much more of that to come in the future!

I'm so excited 💕
Out of all your videos this one is my fave. The combination of snow, river flowing throughout the trail, snow, three dogs paving the way, wide trail, misty fog, good company and beautiful scenery throughout makes this adventure epic. I just moved to N Idaho three months ago and am determined to someday find and hike this trail.
This trail is definitely one to put on your list! I would suggest going in the summer if you plan to do the whole trail (we didn't in this video), there is a ford that you'd have to do to complete the whole trail.
You guys always look like your having fun around the campfire and the food looks good to. Timber dog looks happy and healthy. And yes the one thing that makes us want to get back to the real world... The BEER in the truck. ROCK ON!
Yep, the cooler with beer in the truck is a great motivator for that last push!
@@wade2361 and the pull to just stay and admire the serenity and beauty.
That beer is a motivator sometimes!
It's hard to beat that first taste after a rough trail!
@@mountainwanderer best after coming off a Trail is a cold beer with a Pizza or a Burger!
I really enjoy and appreciate your channel. Thanks and keep them coming!
Thank you for watching our videos!
The rock formations were magnificent, Travis. Also the last campsite you went to along the river was a beaut. Love your music, really adds to the feel of the place. Thanks for sharing.
The rocks on the North Fork are really cool! Thanks for checking it out!
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for taking us along. Love how the dogs really enjoy themselves. The kids (all in their 30's) and I head into the Boundary Waters in Minnesota every summer. This will be year 8. My son & DDIL have two German Shepherds and I have my poodle mix along and they love it.
I love watching videos from the Boundary Waters! I hope that some day I get go there. Probably I would hike it though.
Check out Shug Emery’s TH-cam channel to see his hikes of some of the BW trails. Very informative and a hoot to watch.
I've been a subscriber to Shug for years!
Another great video. Loved the sky/stars shot!
Thanks! Those night shots are still something that we are working on.
Great video! Camped very close to your last camp spot last year. It was nice to see you get back in to places that the crowds take over soon. Thanks for sharing. Hike On!
It was watching your video that made it want to go over to that spot! Great campsites over there!
Such a beautiful place, I can’t wait to be living in North Idaho. Thanks for sharing.
It really is a great place. Like I love to tell people, if you love the outdoors, it's a paradice!
Why man you know if you move here there wont be woods like this anymore
Been here so many times. I do it the ez way though. Treacherous drive. It's still early so nice place between Murray and Thompson Pass. Great video! Thanks.
I've done this trail a few times now, it never disappoints!
Just beautiful! Adding this one to the list! Wished I could bring my dogs!
This is a great one for dogs. You're not likely to see many people out there.
one of the better backpacking videos I've seen, thank you! informative, beautiful, enjoyable to watch... I hope to do this trail sometime!
It's a great trail. We only did about half of the trail on this trip. There is a water ford about half way that was a bit too high this time of year for us to get through.
Another great one....algorithm and all....No really.
Love ya man.
Nice job man, I love your videos. Keep up the good work that looks like a beautiful area.
Thank you! More trips planned fo this year, and should even get to Utah at some point!
Another epic video. Everyone looked like they had a good time. Like the time lapses. Take care and stay safe, Al
It definitely had a great time. Timber loves backpacking!
Beautiful man! ♥️
Thank you, Kenny!
Great videos. I hike trail 20 all the time as our cabin is right near the start of it. Thanks for sharing your trips, I have been to a lot of the same places, and it's great to see a different view, and to get an idea of new places to go.
Love to hear from the locals! If you have a cabin up there then I am jealous! I know that there are a few all of the way up there and they look amazing! Maybe I'll run in to you one day on the trail.
@@mountainwanderer I will recognize you if we do!! We will have a lot to discuss about the Mallard Larkins Pioneer area. Took my daughter there a few weeks back for her first ever backpacking trip, to the same place I went 30 years ago with my dad, and for a super unexpected bonus, my dad actually came along for his first backpacking trip in many years, because he finally got new knees. It was so good, I even took my daughter and my wife back there for labor day. Your videos help inspire our family to get back in to our all time favorite activity, seriously.
I always wondered what happens to that 309 trail!
So glad to hear that you're going into the Mallard Larkins. To me that is one of the real gems of the area. I'm a little bummed but the Idaho Trails Association needed a couple more volunteers to help clear out a trail in there. I'll just be finishing a trip when they head out, so I'll miss it. That place needs a little trail love.
That 309 trail has been cleared out a couple times since I've been going up there. Some how around Cataract Creek I always lose it. Always.
Beautiful.
The North Fork is a beautiful river!
Enjoyed this virtual outing with you as always. Working on a plan to spend some time in Idaho's Sawtooth Valley next summer to get away from the heat and humidity here in the southeast.
I hope to go there myself someday! Though I haven't seen it my own eyes, I know you won't be disappointed!
Travis, this is an excellent video, maybe your best. The scenery was beautiful, great shots and good music.
Thank you, Bryan! This trip was a lot of fun and I'm glad that came across in the video.
That 309 would be great for butterflies in July.
I bet you're right!
Good work as always. Made my cup of coffee that much better. Is the music your recordings, someone you know or stock from the web. I really enjoy it. I dig craft beer also and keep my eye out for Radio Brewing here in central illinois. Thinking I probably won't see any here but if I'm ever out that way, I'll be lookin. Bacpackin, good music and beer, 3 of my favorite things... Happy Trails
Thank you! All of the music is stuff I've recorded in different projects, some band stuff, some stuff just for the videos. Radio Brewing hasn't branched out of Idaho yet, but they are working on it!
Awesome! I had feeling the music might of been your recordings. It just fit your videos and personality to perfectly. Looks like your doing it right out there man...peace
I just know one of these days we're gonna run into each other out there on the trail!
If we keep kicking the same dirt, it's bound to happen!
Thanks for posting another terrific video. I truly enjoy seeing your hikes around the northern Idaho/W. Montana region. Great scenery shots too, man. What camera are you using, if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you! One this video there were 2 of us filming and we both have multiple cameras. I don't exactly know what my friend used exactly, one was a DSLR type, maybe a Lumix. He also uses a DJI Osmo. I use a Go Pro and an iPhone
@@mountainwanderer Thanks!
I sent you an email.....
With all that wilderness you didn’t see any signs of a cougar or bear?
I don't remember seeing much on this trip, but I have seen sign in other parts of the forest.
Do you own radio brewing company or just love their beer?
Nope, I don't own it, just love great beer!
Great video! Where did you park to hike in? Thinking about taking my boys on this one!
Also, what brand of camping hammock do you recommend?
There is a large pull off right at the trailhead and that's where we parked for this one.
Any hammock that is a double wide. There are quite a few cottage vendors making some great hammocks now. Warbonnet Outdoors, Hammock Gear and Kammock are a few. Two of us were using the Dutchware Chameleon on this trip.
Any wildlife encountered, like bear, bob cat or coyote?
No, we didn't see anything on this trip.
More dogs than hikers!!
We had the pack for sure!
