    Indeed, you could sing...or wear a bear bell! lol Loving those views...and bear territory for sure down by the river. Poor Otis would be having a fit with all the swinging bridges. You have me jealous with such a fabulous hike, but alas, those days to be able to that much is well behind me...but I can certainly enjoy and appreciate what others share. Amazing stuff!!

    • @RhodySeth

      Yes, it is a fantastic place. Those bridges are definitely a little wobbly - I've learned that they remove them every winter which makes sense. Thanks for watching!

    Fantastic hike Seth! Views to die for and such a variety! Loved the wee hostel! Those beds looked comfy after a long day! Really enjoyed that mate with my coffee this morning!,, paulo

      Thanks Paul! It was incredible country. Yeah a lot of the people I passed on the trail were heading to the chalet for the night. Definitely looked like a comfy place to spend the night - with incredible views taboot!

    Almost unbelievable how nice it looks out there. Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my cruise to Alaska. Seeing the glaciers before they're gone.

    • @RhodySeth

      Thanks much for watching. Yes, it felt like walking in a painting - it felt unreal. I wish I had a chance to further into the backcountry. Hopefully more trips are in my future!

    Dude, so beautiful! 20mi is so long, too! Don’t think we’re gonna make it that far up this year, so happy to see someone else make it 🙌🏼

    • @RhodySeth

      After visiting this place, I can see why so many people just want to go mobile and explore. Thanks for watching - hope you two are up to some fun adventures.

    You’re like a kid in a candy shop for the first time. You have to take us to more national parks. Great video!

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, yes I was pumped! Just that shuttle up Going to the Sun got me psyched. And this hike definitely awoke a strong desire to get back out west soon!

    Those baby goats were too cute! Awesome alpine scenery. Definitely all horse in that 19:00+ section, poop-carpeted trails are an unfortunate fact of life out West

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I encountered the stacked right at the bottom. You can take horses all the way to the chalet, which frankly, doesn’t sound too bad. I came across some horseback riders on my last day in the park.

    20:42 is my favorite part 😂 Those views are wild!

      Yes I was happy he was so friendly. I just set up the GoPro and he did the rest.

    What a hike. I dream of days of long day hikes, hopefully in the next few months once the kiddo is a bit older. Gunsight is a dream! The goats were incredible. Honestly one of my favorite videos of yours, well edited, everything.

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you my friend. It was a fantastic day, so glad I was able to make it happen and big credit to my wife for driving me 40 minutes to get in line for the shuttle at 6 AM. I appreciate your kind words - I was really happy with how this one came out.

    Wow, that was some next level stuff man. The views might well have been taken from the Lord of the rings movies :) With critters and all! Hope your phone did ok :)

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah thanks, phone made it alright. My own damn fault, it fell out something like 10 times before that point and I was too stubborn to admit it wasn't working. It would have really sucked if it floated away!

      Have you ever been there during the months of October or November?

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@raidersfan602 nope, that was much one and only trip out there. I suspect snow becomes an issue then.

  • @hindsfeetonhighplaces

    Awesome video! Way to turn it into a music video! How would you rate 20 miles there compared to a 20 mile day in The Whites, dificulty wise? I looks like it was easier but I know that it's hard to tell because sections of trail that are hard are hard to film as well.

    • @RhodySeth
      @RhodySeth  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh much easier than the Whites. Long stretches are free of an obstacles - essentially just a dirt path. Additionally they use a lot of switchbacks out there as the trails were originally made for horses so nothing is particularly steep. Would have loved to have done some trail running but the chance of running into bears gave me pause.
