I'm 95 years old & can't walk. These videos are wonderful. I can live vicariously through you boys. Stay safe and have fun out there 👍
I can relate with this comment. I’m half your age, but work and my young son keep me from going out right now in life. I watch for the same reason.
I'm 96 years old and can't walk either. Hopefully soon I'll be walking again. Just as soon as get my fines paid off from my 7th DUI I'll have some money for a foot doctor. After my feet get fixed I'll be walking all over my great grand daughters farm in Kentucky. She has 2 goat farms and a new car. We had lunch at this church a few years ago after her dad's birthday. Can't wait for next year's Superbowl. Have a great thanksgiving.
I am 82 with a pinched nerve in my sciatica. I likewise like your videos. They are the best on you tube. The music is out standing. I love you young people and am reliving my hiking days. BLESS YOU!!
I have chronic fatigue and cant walk, doing the same 😀
Sierra is a pure source of happiness and comfort.
Love the first of (hopefully) many Colorado episodes. You can tell when Robby and Thomas hike (e.g., Mount Katahdin), they push their own limit covering the distance while filming a quality video.
The Mount Katahdin episode is one of my favorites. That ridge they had to traverse... what a place!
Just wanted to let you guys know...I've been watching your videos for the past few winters while I'm exercising inside. You inspired me to do some backpacking. The past 2 Christmases I've been using Christmas money to buy backpacking gear. Finally this weekend a friend and I hiked on the Buckeye Trail at Tappan lake and camped in the woods. It was 25 degrees that night, but we were both well-equipped and survived. We had a great time! Thanks for the inspiration gentlemen!
Thank you so much for your comment! Sounds like the trip was fun despite the cold. Here's to many more backpacking trips :)
Yes, those are moose droppings. Oh, and the "Lost Creek Wilderness" was named for when the creek goes into the caves and into the ground and disappears for a while. I live pretty close to that area and love the trail. It's truly unique. They call the area up around Bison Peak the playground of the giants because of the huge rock and boulder formations.
sorry dude , they are elk and yes it is a beaver damn it.
Moose poop look nearly the same as Elk and Deer poop. Depending on their food sources they can also be lumped together , darker or lighter in color.
Unlike most backpacking vids, I don’t have to turn the sound down on you guys - the talk and Robby’s music are always so good! Thanks, guys!👍🏼
Robby makin slapz
Love the music on this one. Robby is killing us. Wife and I have been laughing at your comments of misery. 😂
He doesn't disappoint with his drama & whining..every video. I've never been able to figure out why he even hikes..😮..Poor Thomas..
It was an awesome experience getting to
work with you guys start to finish! Loved the
episode and love that you got a shot at
redemption on the Manistee River. Everything
was perfect: footage, music, homecooked
meals, and memories! Cheers!
Thanks for the shout out! Glad you enjoyed the hike (mostly!)
Thomas never seems to tire. He’s such a strong hiker.
He dealt with the negativity really well. For being so exhausted they both stayed in pretty good spirits though. No point of complaining
This hike was AMAZING. Having Robby and Thomas pushed to their limit (and persevering) in contrast to the myriad of beauty (might be my favorite too) that Robby emphasized throughout was gratifying. I commend the both of you. The only drawback was the absense of the full crew.
I love the way you guys get so excited over a prime campsite, much like others getting a great home with a view!
I've always felt more at home at an impermanent campsite than in any house I've ever lived in!
Great hike! I struggled with the lack of plant identification but made it through. Brian is the essence of man. ✌️
I am presently "hiking" on my treadmill, and I chose to watch your hike while I "hiked". I loved it, and I can relate to it very well. Among other places i've hiked Pikes peak several times, we "refreshed ourselves at the trail ridge store at the top. The worst thing I ever had to do was to carry a young lady down the mountain, while she suffered from a "fake" injury. Great Memory!!! God bless you well.
This was an awesome expedition to watch. That line at the end was hilarious, "climb into my coffin" and he started choking on his strawberry frosty, then "after we bury you first" 😂
I'm out camping in the wilderness beside a stream in my camper Van. And so I watched this episode again for the second time. It is really a great episode, and those rocks, I think you're right, someone must have designed it because some of those places were just incredible. Thank you for paying the price to make the hike and make the video. Blessings
Nice to see Thomas so enthusiastic and outgoing-love it!
Music is enthralling. Footage is beautiful. You guys aren't annoying. Even though I live near an area ike this, and as Thomas says- sometimes the awe isn't as great as it used to be, videos like this still make me want yo adventure in the backcountry.
Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite. It doesn't have high peaks but a special beauty of its own. I mainly stayed on the Wigwam Trail as I couldn't cover the loop on just my days off. Plus my dog wouldn't swim and crossing the lakes the beavers created, so that was a problem. I loved being there again through you. Thanks for sharing this trip.
Great hike guys. Missed you not drinking enough water to help you keep hydrated! Your dog seemed to enjoy the hike too😊
Can’t imagine the difficulty of hiking at that altitude. Awesome to watch from Key West!
This is my favorite episode so far. I also discovered by accident that the music in this episode is an excellent cadence for a chill treadmill walk, and many of the shots feel like you're walking along with the guys.
Congratulations gentlemen. Job well done. And Miss Sierra.
Coming from the California northern Sierras. I understand your struggle and pain.
You did an outstanding job.
And videography was fantastic.
20 years ago when I was hiking, I always wanted to film my hikes. Who knew??
Now I’m 67/68, don’t know if I can go that far in one day now. I can still do 8.
But I don’t get out as much as I’d like to because I work part time now.
This is my first time watching you, and I’m so glad I came across your video.
I look forward to more adventures and I will share with my hiking buddy.
And when He was done, He said, “ It was good.”
Wow! Just Wow! Congratulations Robby, Thomas and good job Sierra keeping the hoomans in your care moving along. The video really captures the awe and challenge of this adventure- great videography, great editing and this soundtrack is going to be on my replay list for the foreseeable future !
I love when Sierra goes along. It's great exercise for and she loves the journey too!
The way Robbie's voice gets so deep in the AM vs PM lol. Thomas is always so loving to Sierra 🥰
Seriously, just watching you guys hang out at one really amazing place for the whole vacation would be really cool. And all 4 of you!
Thanks for a fabulous video. The hiking show how beautiful of America. ❤
I like that there's honesty in this video...about how hard it can be at times...and exhausting...even for those that are fit.
Amazing hike and Thomas is nice looking after Robby specially in the 2nd day. Can't wait for the next one and then the Japan trip. Yey!
Thanks!
Wow!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Teri!!
Thank you guys, so much, for sharing your lives and good times through Adventures Archives! I couldn't enjoy your episodes more!!
Adventure Archives "Without A Destination" sounds FANTASTIC!!
Amazing adventure. Way-to-go pushing yourselves thru the trail. I bet Sierra slept for days after this.
What an Amazing Place..thank you for all the hard work..in Showing Us….really missed your partners in crime..hope to see Andrew and Brian ..in the next journey…Again..thank you!!!! 💜😊
Your videos are helping me get through the stress of my first weeks at university. Thanks guys
Pushing the limits of altitude Robby. Headaches and the shakes aren’t a joke in Colorado heights.
This is my favorite of your videos yet. I love the way you two work together--and I think Sierra popped off that bridge on purpose too ;)
OH MY what a gorgeous place the beauty was everywhere!!
I love it when it's Thomas and Robby and Sierra..❤ pour puppy was tired..
❤Loved❤ every minute of this hike!!
Well done guys!!!
Sierra is such a good girl.
Would be nice if she was off leash a bit more (especially on the grassy boulder field) . Dogs need that freedom, it's good for their mental health. (provided they're well trained with their recall)
This episode has some of the best music yet! Particularly the music at the deep water crossing. The brass sounds so good 1:02:59
Ouch, burn! I like the plant identifications. But you guys are awesome. Thanks
This was by far my favorite episode.
They views were amazing.
And you two had me laughing the whole way.
I can feel your frustration at times from all those unexpected hills.
Keep up the wonderful content.
Great job you three! Not only did you crush a big couple of days, you did so with great attitudes and while capturing an amazing journey to share with us all. Thank you for doing what you do and being who you are!
I did the hike to Bison Peak like 10 years ago and it was no joke! Its just a steady incline the whole way up! The monoliths at the top were soooo cool though, their scale was deceiving, I am glad you explored them. Fun fact, this hike took so much longer than I thought it would so I missed work and got suspended lol. The experience was worth it though!
That was an amazing adventure! Adventure Archives never disappoint! I gotta say, I was worried about Robbie and altitude sickness. He should've stayed at a lower elevation for at least one night. I'm a flatlander, I live at 600 feet. Previous trips to Colorado and Wyoming made me realize how a big change in altitude affected you. It's no joke, especially if you're backpacking into a remote area.
I’ve been watching you all since 2016, and this is by far one of the best hikes! I love Sierra, too! She is a sweet little lady! The scenery was like you were walking, and the set of Bonanza. 😂 Great job! Thank you 🙏
OMG!! I LOVE the rap shout out dance Robbie did at the end of this video!! So great!! I am a hiker but winter has set in and so i watch your videos endlesly . Thank you Thank you!!!! XXOO to Sierra!!
Hi Robbie and Thomas. I love this amazing video so many different landscapes and landmarks and view. I love Seerra the dog she is wonderfully adorable.
Amazing adventure guys, what a beautiful trail! Great job on cranking out those miles and Sierra was quite the trooper! Always a good day when AA releases a new video.
You guys have gotten SO good at creating these videos. This is my favorite one yet.
I will watch it tonight. I’m so bummed I missed the live with you guys on here . Can’t wait. Thanks you guys for the video and keep them coming please.❤
That was an epic hike guys! Such an amazing landscape, those rock formations were reminiscent of Roger Dean's artwork for the progressive rock band Yes. Sierra was a trooper too! 🦮 Well done guys! The post hike meal was well earned! 👍
Thomas and Sierra is always leading from the front! And Sierra is the star!
Would love to see what the wonderful world looks like from Sierra's perspective during a hike, give her a cam mount! 🤩
What a great video. Always loving the adventures Robby and Thomas do together.
Thanks for this video. I made this hike 40+ years ago. Now I want to do it again. I think I would do a three nights to enjoy it more.
WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE…Thanks for all your hardwork, in showing us, really missed your partners in crime, Your DUO,im hoping to see Andrew and Brian, in the next journey..again.. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙🤟🏽
Alright it was a lot of work on your parts but magical ! ❤ a lot of hilarious moments ! Shout out to you guys ! Cheers !
Wow, what a great hike! Enduring all those physical and mental challenges while filming an incredible video. High quality in combination with a great deal of fun.👍
Great adventure and was struggling to help you make the hike. I’m exhausted! Beautiful scenery. Love Colorado.
Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite place on the whole planet. Well, that I've seen anyway as there is a whole lot of this planet I haven't seen. Your video really did it justice, at least as much as it is possible for a video to do it justice.
Another great backpacking (or very long day hike) loop is to start at the Goose Creek trailhead and take Hankins Pass, Lake Park, a couple miles of the Brookside McCurdy, McCurdy Park and Goose Creek trails. The McCurdy Park Trail portion duplicates the hike in this video. It's a bit shorter than the north loop that you did, but goes through more truly spectacular terrain. It can be done in either direction. The clockwise direction I outlined puts the biggest climb at the start. The Lake Park trail is mostly on or close to the crest of the Tarryall Range, a bit lower elevation than the stretch you did. It's (IIRC) about 23 miles total, with lots of elevation change. The low point, near the Goose Creek Trailhead is about 8,000 feet, the highest point, along the Lake Park Trail is about 11,600 feet. Spectacular rock formations are visible throughout the loop, and Harmonica Arch is visible from the Goose Creek Trail near the trailhead.
“We have an *opportunity* for an *exciting experience* up ahead” 😂
Oh my😯😍this was AMAZING! It would have been so hard for me to leave those rocks and keep going. WOW!
You all do such amazing work with your videos. Thank you for your hard work (and Sierra!)🌲💚
Outstanding. Absolutely admire you folks for not only completing such a challenging hike, but also filming this much of it this well. Bravo!
You've outdone yourself Robby, wow. This is my absolute new favourite episode, what a beautiful film you've made out of this trip. 11/10! I loved everything about it, the friendship between you and Thomas, the scenery, the music, Sierra being perfect - everything. Loved the credits as well, you guys are hilarious haha
Awesome video! Love when you take Sierra❤️Thanks for sharing!
My heart goes out to you. And I know it's the altitude Makes it so difficult when you don't have the oxygen, And you are usually so energetic and so go get em, know you're struggling. But the rocks and the landscaping is phenomenal never seen anything like it. Thanks for pushing yourself through this appreciate it
Adventure, fun, drama, top video quality: once again this episode has it all. Amazing and bizarre landscape, warm friendship and …. Sierra! Thanks for filming this even while you were pushing yourselves to the maximum.
Wilderness is wonderful!
Our own mind can be our greatest challenger in life, conquer this obstacle and you will be your best ‘you’
Okay 30 minutes in ! And I am like omg ! This is another super successful awesome trip ! ❤ full of surprises ! Well done guys ! Love the music also ! 😊
I felt physically exhausted every "day" watching this.
It’s either a very well edited video (yours always are btw) or Sierra has got to be the most quiet dog I’ve ever seen! I’d love to hear her bark at least at one point! 😂
Great video as always guys. Man o man, the wonders of the USA. You sure has some amazing sceneries and landscapes there. What must not the settlers have felt venturing into that. Talk about awe,.. 😮
...Beautiful area for a few day trek ... coming from lower altitudes ,, try to plan on 1 or 2 days to acclimate ,, working up to altitudes of 10k-14k ft .. helps to take Ibuprofen each morning and drink plenty of water all day .. .. Thanks for taking us along .. Stay Safe ..
.. from that left side , 37:22 , that big spire rock looks like a sculpture of Disney character Goofy ..
❤Thomas has a through hikers’ mentality…, faster pace and the goal is to hike more miles. Robbie’s approach is a “smell the roses” and take more time and no set goal on miles. There is no right or wrong approach…in life or in hiking.
LOL at Sierra saying screw it at the end and just diving on in off the bridge. 😂
For some reason the hikes were you really have to push yourself are also more satisfying to watch for us! :D There's just something watching you guys keep going despite the struggle. Really enjoyed this episode (who am I kidding, as if there's ever one I haven't truly enjoyed) the views were incredible. Thanks for taking us to this place with you
Song at 1:13:59 is especially beautiful. Nice one Robby and whoever else may have worked on it.
I thoroughly enjoy watching Robby and Thomas hike together. Both seem to push one another's limits and seem to get along great. I don't sense any conflicts between them (you guys).
The video you've produced is absolutely brilliant! there are so many things I can only marvel at, it's truly fantastic. Keep up the great work in crafting your content! ♥️
That rock spire looked like Easter Island. Pushing to the limit, such a great accomplishment! Beautiful trip.
Before I get to Kenneth Welch's situation, I will enjoy Mother Nature as much as I can: in Taiwan and Thailand. Hiking (sometimes camping) is a very natural relaxation exercise. These guys in Adventure Archives are living the life. Hiking by myself is cool - with friends is even better. Ed from Philly
Proud of you both and Sierra, too
Another hike I am doing in the future is the Barr Trail to Pikes peak summit. I will be spending a night at Barr camp and then going to the summit and then taking the shuttle down afterwards. I have also done the incline in Manitou springs back in 2017 at age 55. That was by far the hardest hike EVER! Over 2200 ft of elevation gain in about a mile. You hit areas at the top over 68% grade! But checked off my bucket list! Did that after hiking area around Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods during 2 days). We went to the incline after hiking the 2nd day there.
Lessons from a dog.. they trust their owner..and just moving forward.. no matter how long it is ..no matter how difficult it is.. they feel safe and secure and strong..GOD..DOG.. What a GIFT they are.❤
I haven't even finished watching yet but just had to stop and say that the piano tune that starts at 38:31 is so nice.
What a totally beautiful section in Colorado. A little bit Enchanted Rock “esk”. Although a challenging terrain also mentally rewarding The kind of hike you have memories that make you smile. Sierra is a excellent companion
I love watching you guys. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!! Hi Sierra! 👋
Great tag a long Adventure, Thanks guys & Sierra.
I totally clicked on this video because of the dog 😅 everything else was just a bonus. Great video!
Great job today Stranger! So excited for the both of you. Awesome journey ❤
I always feel so blessed to be able to go on these hikes with you. Thomas, I don't think I have ever seen you so exhausted. Robby, you crack me up each time you proclaim a new hike as "the best ever/my favorite". I'm trying to write this while I'm watching the silly shoutouts and I keep getting distracted with giggles. It's a "beefstew downhill high!" Thank you for sharing another wonderful adventure.
Aw..lucky sierra to get to do backpacking with you guys.
Thanks for taking us along.
Its safe to eat inside your sleeping area? No bears ??
Awesome job.!! So jealous.😊❤
Eh, there aren't grizzlies there, and black bears are just oversized raccoons.
...This area has plenty of black bears ..
@@PyroZombi19 ..True NO Grizzly's here ,, but you have some crazy big racoons ,, the adult Black Bears here are 300-400 Lbs. ..
The deep water crossing is shallower on the other side of that boulder. Great video!
This was such a great video. I live down the road from here and love the area. Thanks again for all of your video's and intel! Kirk
Loved this video, it was like I was walking right with you !
The wide valleys in LCW used to be a cattle run. That is why you see the large decaying fences.
Also, as mentioned towards the end, yes, you can follow lost creek as a shortcut. However it is VERY dangerous at points and would not recommend, especially people with dogs.
Glad you enjoyed Lost Creek Wilderness, it is one of my favorite hikes in the Denver area.
That was an awesome but tortuous adventure for both of you and for me as well. I participated (forced, dragged) in military marches and in Volksmarches in Germany and in England. My worst was a 50 mile hike with 50 to 55 pounds of military gear. I admire you guys for your accomplishment. Also, Sierra deserves a bravo and well done. I'll remember to pack some gummies on future hikes. Grat video, guys!
I didn’t get to hike this section. Thank you for showing it. You are inspiring me to keep hiking the PCT.
Nobody else in the jungle except you two, guys
Incredible..your hiking adventure😎
What a fantastic hike! Beautifully filmed, as always. An absolute battle against fatigue. Lost Creek Wilderness is definitely on my map now!
Wow this was just on another planet, fantastic nature in this one. It must have been a dream hiking among these giants of boulders. Really enjoyed this trip, thx for the experience.
Those gummies are addicting. Great video. I need to go to CO. Love those rocks. Look like Gorignak in Galaxy Quest. 😉
