I really enjoy that Kelly films a lot of the climbs where she is huffing & puffing. I have found many hikers do not video the up hill portions of their hikes cause they say no one wants to hear them out of breath. Keeping it real is appreciated , thx Kelly.
Yes. That makes it Real. Appreciate that honesty.
"The trail provides" - SO glad you ran into Dr. Dan and he was able to give you some food!
Good morning Kelly and friends!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful trail and views with us. Yes God is good and answers our prayers. Thanks for sharing that.
Dr Dan was definitely a blessing at the right time. That was really nice of him to resupply you and take time to chat. The wolverine was a nice surprise to. I'd like to see one some time. I hear they're vicious but he or she apparently had their running shoes on. 😅 Kelly you might want to check your potassium levels. Several years ago my heart rate was off and they did an EKG and a blood test and my heart was fine but my potassium was really low. The doctor said that could be very serious. Seeing your hiking, sweating and maybe not eating or drinking properly, maybe your potassium or magnesium is low.
What a beautiful world that we live in!
Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤
On a motorcycle trip through Colorado and came across the CDT logo on Wolf Creek Pass and thought of you.
God was truely with you today. Brought you friends and reassurance, AND Angel Dan with food and medical consulting. God is AMAZING! Always there when needed the most.
Before there were trekking poles there were walking sticks. Don't know if that would be helpful but thought I would share the thought. Might be able to find or make a good walking stick from somewhere along the trail. Awesome videos never knew places like that existed. Thanks for sharing
Could even to to use the neck knife to smooth up the area hands hold on to! Clever idea that I would never have thought of.
Not many sticks in this area unfortunately
@@kellyhays23On another topic, infection and heart rate - do take care. I had a flu I couldn’t shake off, 20+ years ago, that just lingered. It eventually turned into ME/CFS and has ruined my life.
I don’t want that for you or anyone, so do take care. Let the body rest, if you can. Not saying this to worry you, but to be cautionary. Hopefully it will go away soon for ya, but listen to the body,..
The views are amazing!
Your today's story reminded me Genesis 22:14 "on the mountain of The LORD it will be provided..." Your journey is a powerful testimony of one who walks with God. Thank you so much for sharing His majestic creation with us.
Her positively shows.
What. A. Day. And it turned out beautifully! New trekking poles will be such a relief.
You are very talented,courageous and your perseverance is incredible. All those miles,challenging altitude,no poles( i would die without them) and filming while cli.bing up hill. Thank you for sharing the beauty of nature.
Friends, food, YT followers, fellowship..you were truly blessed today Kelly. 🙏😊 Thank you for bringing us through this incredible place. Rest well 🌲🏕🌲
31 minutes and 1000 views already!!! That says alot Kelly ❤. You are loved 😍.
We are so proud of you!!!
And DAN ❤ YOU ROCK!!!
Thank you again for taking time to film and share your videos. I recognize so many of familiar places. Pingora at the beginning of this video. Temple Pass later on. While approaching it, if you just climb over the ridge to your left you would see my all time favorite camping spot on Deep Lake surrounded by Haystack, Steeple Peak, Lost Temple Spire, East Temple Peak. Spectacular place, but, there are so many other amazing places in the Winds. If you ever want to really discover them come back and spend more time there instead of just passing through on your way south.
WOW, more and more you bring great pictures to us. One of the good things about the CDT is you can choose your own route. I have seen hikers on the CDT but not on the beautiful path you are taking. The PNT does not go into MT but traverses MT, ID, and WA. So, seeing him on the trail, he was going to hike what you told him, or he just took a side trip to surprise you. Since you take off the red line route, I can't wait until you get to CO and NM. I lived in both states and hiked and camped there. Maybe you will show some places I have never been. WOW! Can't wait. Happy Trails!
This had to be your best day on trail! Everything you could have asked for!! Fantastic 🌞🎆
Thank you for pointing out to others God’s blessings along the way in your journey. I have seen many nice views in my life, but it is your commentary along the way that makes me enjoy following along. Thank you God.
It is such a small world for sure and Dan was certainly no accident definitely answered 🙏. Not sure why I thought you would be going to Big Sandy Lodge area 😂…Lander is on CDT…really nice town too!!
WOWWW!!!❤ God's art easel. What a beautiful sight to behold !!! 😊 Go Kelly!
You guys are in amazing landscape..
Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Ya'lls appreciation for the outdoors, and your sense of wonder is inspiring and uplifting. And the "awe, you're so cute" when you see an animal (literally every time 😂) is hilarious 😁
But when you mentioned how good God was in this video, it not only caught me off guard but brought a tiny bit of moisture to my otherwise dry eyes 😬🙏
That was cool of Dan..he really hooked you up with food. The views is breathtaking. Glad your heart rate got regulated. Stay Safe
Kelly,
What a great day, so happy about that! Really glad you took us along…. Have fun and safe travels! Jack
Kelly your authenticity is so incredible. This journey you are sharing with us is beautiful inside and out. It’s wonderful to watch you be yourself and experience this wonderful journey.🫶🏼
Thank you so much for creating these amazing videos for us, you are creating art through your experience and it’s beautiful💜
Always sort of dread climbs up to passes but then I remind myself of the upcoming views which have nearly always been more than worth the sweat and effort. Hiked trails more to the west of the high route and that section looks awesome. Your video of the area was great but I know it doesn't come close to being there in person. Hope you continue to have a great hike !
8:45 Miracles on the trail are heartwarming and a relief. Simply amazing. Get what you need, when you need it the most. 👍 Hard to describe this occurrence in common, earthly type words.
When it seems your in the middle of no where- there’s Dr Dan and with food !! Crazy 🎉
Oxygen is 21% of air at sea level and 14.3% at 10,000 feet elevation. Your heart has to work harder to supply the oxygen your body needs. At 10,000 feet elevation you are breathing 28.5% lesss oxygen while exercising strenuosly. You are an intrepid adventurer. Thank you for sharing your journey Kelly. God bless you with strength for each day!
Nice to meet up with friends on trail. Thanks for showing us your meeting experience. The scenery is priceless 👍👍👍
Epic pictures. Thank you. Wish I were there.
Great video Kelly.
I’m watching your videos out of sequence so you have solved or at least moved on after your elevated heart rate. I’m quite a bit older than you but have noticed that after/during higher exertion events especially with wormer temps I really need to keep my electrolyte intake up. Potassium levels can impact your heart rate and potassium is the one ingredient of electrolyte mixes that we need because we aren’t likely getting it from another source on trail, at least not consistently like salt, for example. Next time that situation arises (I often experience it during the night) try drinking some water first and if that doesn’t seem to help addd some electrolytes. Good luck as you enter Arizona. It’s still pretty warm down that way.
Actually it’s New Mexico where you’re finishing. I noted the temperatures didn’t look too bad there right now. Good luck.
I love that you're so vocal about your Faith. Your video is very inspiring today and it was wonderful to see the answers to your prayers running into that doctor. I'm going into work right now. Any ICU is a nurse and I feel inspired to help others. Happy hiking!!
Stunning views. You never know who you might see on the trail!
This Ranger knew that you would never be disappointed with the High Line. Way to go!
Beautiful scenery. Prayers your.way on your journey.
Howdy Kelly! Wow oh wow those shots when you first got going were stunning! I mean drop down epic! My heart rate changes at altitude as well so just keep an eye on it as we know u will! Wyoming has been so killer! I think Colorado will be too!
Saddle up! 🏔️🏔️🏔️
Thank you for the views that no one gets to see. Awesome video work.
GOD IS SO AMAZING! Thank you Lord for helping Kelly out! Also, thank you Kelly for talking about it and sharing your love for him! ❤ you brought a tear and smile to my face!
I put puzzles together 😊 There was so many scenes in this video that would make beautiful puzzles 😊
I live right by the Wind River Range. I definitely need to hike that high route next summer. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow what a day you had! 33 fricken miles! Holy crap.... so high altitude, food rations, exhaustion... yeah I think the high heart rate ia normal.... that range was incredible.. I would miss it too!
That’s one of my favorite things about being on trail… is my constant relying on God for all my provisions! Good stuff! God IS good!
So random running into you at Temple Pass! Definitely going back next year.
Good luck wit the rest of the CDT! 🤙
So awesome to meet yall!!
God is Good! I love that you share your faith! I'm living vicariously through you, what an amazing experience you're having on the CDT thank you for sharing it with us! May God keep you all safe. ❤
I think it is your positively in life thats always a blessing
Always a good watch ❤️⛰️
Yes People ask me all the time what's your Favorite place you've hiked and that's up there way up there
Thank you for sharing your answered prayer! When we look for Him, He is found everywhere. Gorgeous trail!
God is good. Thanking you for sharing
God IS good! Love watching your adventure. Im a momma of adult children . One is a daughter about your age. Keeping u in my prayers! You're doing great!!
I'm glad you're doing better and God is Good!
Just have faith Kelly he'll help you get through stuff 🙏
Hi Kelly i would miss that place to it looks so beautiful and relaxing really enjoyed your video's ever much stay safe and take care 🤟 love and peace ✌️👍 your the best 🏆
Wow, Summer is over in those high meadows, the growing season is so short, snow lasts from one Winter to another. You are seeing such a micro cosmic season. I’m so jealous of your experiences, your sense of wonder is terrific.
Be careful, use wisdom, your God doesn’t require more than you can give✅
Hey Kelly, unless you are wearing a chest strap a wrist based heart monitor can go pretty haywire from time to time (innacurate). Altitude and post viral will affect you by 10-20 bpm but not by that much.
Looks like you guys should be coming up on Colorado soon. I live in Steamboat Springs so hit me up if you guys need rides to and from town. Gilpin Lake, in the Zirkle Wilderness is an awe inspiring experience of Gods creation. enjoy and safe travels!
WOW!!!😮 Kelly you are incredible athlete !!! 😮 Views up in the mountains ⛰ where fantastic and so rugged. Just you and the wilderness!!! I'm so relieved you made it safely to your campsite at 11pm! 😂
Yellowstone and the Tetons are awesome
I had to stop ag1 heart palpatations low blood pressure so be careful just dont take it.Regular chewable 1 a day is good enough for me.
Thats gotta be one of the coolest camp spots ever... wow
Happy you met good folk on the trail that gave you some food, your rations allocations continue to be poor. It’s not a place to cut corners ,you feel tired because your muscles are hungry 😊
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing. God is good.
Another great video with beautiful views!
With greater effort's brings greater rewards. Go in faith and be blessed
That lake is really beautiful! I've never had any heart problems at being at a higher altitude. Kelly, are you experiencing any altitude sickness?
Amen
Awesome
... Beautiful day on trail ... These memories will resurface often ... Stay Safe ..
From my experience a combination of the increased elevation,
the fact that you're tired, and you haven't eaten in probably 10
or 12 hours so your blood sugar is low, this will all play hell with
your heartbeat sometimes. I think mostly it's the tired thing that
does it, but not eating is a big factor too. I certainly wouldn't worry
about it.
That really seemed like a great day. God did provide, what a blessing. Take care of that heart. Stay well and be safe. God bless.
God sent you an Angel on the trail💗🙏🥰 What a truly blessed day🙏🙏
You got this!! Your doin it all!!! 💪
Beautiful sunset, I don't mind a little night hiking.Great video.
Could be low magnesium.
Good point about the stress though.
you inspire me everyday 💙
Kelley, as you probably know tachycardia can be serious especially if your heartbeat is irregular at elevated heart rates. Not to scare you but you really should be evaluated by a cardiac specialist as soon as is practical. In all probability it’s related to the stress you’ve put your body through and the fact that you have been experiencing respiratory issues of late. Please take care and go to an outpatient emergency center when able if it does not resolve soon. Good luck. Thanks for the vicarious living through your travels.
Kelly make sure you take care of yourself
I really do worry about you.
Stay safe. 🙏
Hi Kelly what a beautiful Awesome Amazing gorgeous Scenery 😊 I will Pray for safe trip s😊
Make sure your drink alot of water kelly. May have somethkng to do with the wierd heart rate... Seriously doubt its anything to worry about. Maybe you can get checked out at the next town. God Bless!
Kelly...praise God for Dan! Talk about a quick answer to prayer. All good things work together for those who love the Lord. And you love God. ❤
Make sure you keep yourself hydrated remember the walks and higher altitudes will dehydrate you faster than normal.
I use a Garmin for running. There are times I know I am hitting max heart rate and yet my watch tells me my effort was nil. Sometimes the tech lies.
What a God love tap you received!
Another awesome day. Keep smiling! You have the kind of smile that makes everyone around you have to smile too.😃
Stay safe and have fun.
Amen, the Lord is good! And the views only reinforces for me how awesome He truly is. Blessings of the Lord be upon you my sister.
Take a break girl!!
Enjoying your videos Kelly
This area might just be the prettiest on earth. I've certainly never seen any place more impressive. I've got to show this video to my wife and then we've gotta get out there!
Incredible Hike. Go,Kelly,Go!
Nice knee socks!! That brand are?
I could feel that elevation and thin air through the screen. Oof!
Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess I missed it but what happened to your poles?
What no food, 😮
That's some good living!
Our Father is so good and takes such good care of us. His creations are so beautiful. I have been praying for you. Take care of yourself and Be Blessed!

Ammmennnn🙌
Heart rate compensating for less breathable O2
Yeah, if your body gets lower on nutrients, then that can speed your heart up. Godspeed!
