@@unitedstatesirie7431 Three Fingers is in The Mt. Baker National Forest in Washington State. It is a tiny part of the Cascade Mountin Range that runs from California to British Columbia. Darrinton is a town in the National Forest. Darrington is surrounded by mountains. I'm not sure of the real names but the locals call them, North(N), Jumbo(S), Gold Hill(E) and the most famous, Whitehorse(W). 3 Fingers is tucked behind Whitehorse. My son lives there. You can see almost all of them but Gold Hill from his front porch. And you see that from his back deck.
I believe what you say. I think this is the harmony between man and nature. Appreciate the majesty, uncanny craftsmanship and infinite charm of nature's mountains and rivers. Create a perfect picture that will always be cherished in people's hearts. I love nature!
The aesthetics of the shots in the video are like something from another world. You are truly gifted at telling the mood of the scenery in your images. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
I haven't been there for 30 years and am now motivated more than ever to return. Thanks for posting. It made my week. Your shots captured the area to perfection.
I just find it fascinating that there are so many cameras so conveniently placed along the trail! Captures his movements perfectly! It must be frustrating to have a place a camera, walk back and then past it walk away from it and then go back and retrieve it. Looks like a hard enough trek without having to do it essentially three times.
lol, exactly! By the time he made it to the cabin, He was deathly tired on his climb over the top of the ladder. The things people do for YT views. Please be careful, falling to ones death for YT, isn't worth it.
The North Cascades are gorgeous. I used to live in Arlington, not far from many wonderful hiking trails. I went hiking almost every day in the non winter months during my 20's and 30's. I had a job that started early in the morning and I would bring my hiking gear to work then I would hit the trail by 3pm, did this almost entirely alone. I moved a few years ago and I miss the pacific NW. I live in the mountains of SE Idaho and go hiking and mountain biking on occasion but I'm getting older sadly, can't do it everyday like I used to be able to. Three fingers I've done twice and loved my time at the old lookout.
Absolutely magnificent scenery, but no way in my life time would I ever drive, pedal, walk, climb and go up a couple ladders to get there. So thanks for taking us along to see it all... Thumbs Up!
Was not aware of this Lookout ~ "The Three Fingers Lookout is a historic fire observation building on one of the summits of Three Fingers Mountain in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Snohomish County, Washington. Built in 1932-33 in an extremely challenging location, it is one of the oldest surviving observation posts
I was in awe of how it got built on site with no tools we're accustomed to today. Somebody really wanted to have it there and stopped at nothing to get it done. And it still stands!!
@@browningbelgium2326it was assembled from a pre-cut lookout "kit" like most of the other lookouts. But still, all of the parts had to be packed up to the summit, that was a major feat in 1932.
@@babyboomer9560as far as I know it wasn't, because of the location experienced climbers were needed to build it. Ccc projects usually were more accessible to average people.
I know drones are not allowed in the wilderness, but I'm so glad some people ignore that. The drone footage is truly amazing. Without it, I'd never be able to experience that view.
There is a book written about this lookout. Sorry I can’t provide more info but it was lent to me a long time ago prior to my trip up. It describes when and how it was built. There is a very good description of a thunder storm experienced by one of the rangers. He spent a lot of time sitting in the middle of the cabin scared !!
I am an avid hiker but this is too much for me as I near 60. Crazy next level stuff right here. Thanks you so much for allowing me to make that hike vicariously thru you. Thumbs way ...so hardcore amazing!
Appreciate the generations that have come before you and what they have accomplished and humble yourself. Just majestic, thanks for the capture....take care
One of your best videos. Love the lenght. Love to not see any other person. You transfered very well that moment on top of being alone. Just you. Time stood still. All the problems in the world on pause. Thanks
Фантастическая красота! А уж домик на вершине просто очаровал. Потрясает все: место, дорога к этому домику, уют и красота в домике. Это фантастика просто. Благодарю за видео!
Dude! That shot at 8:31 at the end had such a strong ghibli vibe to it! The light comming in the cabin, the sounds of those hinges and the piano track on top. Thanks so much for your videos Kraig! You did cast a smile of joy in my face.
What a stunning place! Thank you for taking the painstaking process to film this for us to see. I would love to stay there for a night! Simply breathtaking!
Thank you for taking us on your breathe taking beautiful and magnificent video ! More than likely most of us would not be able to take this journey, but seeing it through your talented lens is a gift! Thank you and may God keep you safe on all your journeys.
Oh my !! Just, WOW !! The scenery was so BEAUTIFUL, it took my breath away !! From the moment the vid started, till the very end my heart soared, beholding God's creation. Thank you for sharing. Made my day. First time visit to your channel, but definitely not the last. Well done.
Growing up down the street from there and hiking all over Western WA, this was awesome to see. The amount of time to setup all these beautiful shots is incredible. I like the part where your car didn’t get broken into. 😊 Mountain Loop is sadly a big spot for theft and vandalism. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you for sharing this stunning video. It looks so different to me without all the snow. I climbed it twice many years ago, there was so much snow even in August.
A few years ago there was only a few trail reviews each summer for this hike. Now it’s being documented by every hiker. Please be responsible and be prepared before climbing.
As a kid growing up in southwestern Alberta there were quite a few lookouts like this one we used to hike up to . All within 30 miles of the continental divide . But that was along time ago . Always worth the climb. Theyre still there but my legs are no longer willing 😁
Incredible experience judging by the views. Driving > cycling > hiking > climbing must have been quite a physical workout too. Thanks for taking us on the journey 🙏
I'm just always so blown away by how stunning and cinematic your videos are. Your videos give me views of the world that I don't think could be captured in most films I've seen. It's content like this that makes me so happy that your channel exists.
Hiked this in my early forties, the road was open then. We camped at goat flats after we came down from the lookout. Im not good with heights, and what he didn't show was the shear drop off on the north side of the finger. Going up the second ladder, you look right down that drop off. It was a beautiful sunset that night. I'll never forget that hike. And I've been to lots of beautiful areas in my years of hiking.
I lived in Stanwood for right on 9 years and I've been in the Darrington area but I never knew there was a mountain hut on top of Three Fingers. You learn something everyday. Washington did not want to let me leave.
Kraig, just getting to the top you must have worked out and got in shape to endure this kind of summit. It was unreal. Being from Florida and never saw anything like this mountain still takes me by surprise when someone of your character can make it happen as if walking on flat ground. Thanks for sharing.
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE. This video is insane! Extremely well done. And what a fun adventure. I love the shots in the beginning where you included all the forms of transportation as well. So cool.
As tempting as it might be, I dont think I would do that solo! Theres lotsa stuff can happen in the hike there and back. But, it is one of the most serene places in the world!
That was an awesome stationary drone view of driving that bend over the arched culvert. Kraig has an incredible knack for capturing incredible/interesting views.
Thank you for this video! Often i watch your hikes to see if they are something i can do. I'm afraid of heights. I understand my fear at times is irrational. Afterall that's what fears are. While i aspire to do this hike ultimately thanks to your well shot video i know i can't do it. I'll continue to hike and to watch your videos. You shoot beautiful isolated places so well!
Très beau reportage !!! La vue est imprenable bien sûr, mais jamais, au grand jamais, je n'irai dormir sur ce piton rocheux... Vertige, quand tu nous tiens...

The music was perfect with the imagery. What the song and who’s the composer? Beautiful. Thanks!
*especially towards the end. Beautifully simple and elegant. Would love to know who did it. Thanks again
Pretty sure this was the most peaceful and serene 9 minutes of my week. Thank you!

Being up there, the issues of everyday life don't exist. It's like being lost but enjoying it.

Please be careful, falling to ones death for YT, isn't worth it.
Who cares? Maybe just appreciate the work put in so we can all enjoy a place the majority of us will never be able to visit.
Actually it doesn't sound all that hard to backtrack 50 feet a few times.
Aren't we lucky the cabin had cameras to capture his arrival!
What an amazing place to build a fire lookout. Those guys that did it years ago put their heart into it.

I lived in Snohomish as a kid. The North Cross State Highway is a beautiful drive in the Northern Cascades

Wow that was fantastic! What an incredible location. You captured it beautifully ❤
A truly beautiful, cinematic experience watching this. Well done. Thank you.
Don't know what to say... It is, more than ever, a piece of art 🙂
Thanks for the memories ..what a PRESENCE those
Mountains

What a stunning place! Thank you for taking the painstaking process to film this for us to see. I would love to stay there for a night! Simply breathtaking!
Guess we're all supposed to know where it is.
What you just gifted… I couldn’t ever put to words other than ‘thank you’. 🕊️
A beautiful footage that smells of peace and tranquility. Stunning landscapes.Ciao from Italy
A spectacular video of an amazing location.
Beautifully shot. One of those seamless delights that makes you forget drones and tripods exist. Thank you!
Your videos are literally like watching a movie, the various shots and how they are pieced together are just sublime. Kudos to you

Beautiful. Very fine film making.
So incredibly beautiful and remote. A perfect perch to view nature. A little slice of heaven on earth.
Beautiful video!❤
Wow! What a amazing hike. The video is skillfully shot, showcasing great aesthetics.
THIS is one of my top 3 favorite segments of ALL your videos I've seen. I watch and re-watch often. Makes me want to be there.
Wow! Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for beautiful videos like this one.
Love the cross training in this Adventure & the Cherry on Top Location of the Lookout!!! WOW!!

Okey 🙏
It it a dangerous hike?
Who the fuck are you?
Ok smarter than us all
Nature scary,be prepared ❤
What an amazing location! You captured it beautifully.
As a kid growing up in southwestern Alberta there were quite a few lookouts like this one we used to hike up to . All within 30 miles of the continental divide . But that was along time ago .
Always worth the climb. Theyre still there but my legs are no longer willing 😁
Really incredible film! This is one of my new favorites. Thank you for creating such beautiful work with evident care.

I wondered how in this world did they get the wood up there and the nails, windows, and hammers, etc. And it's still standing 90 years later.
WOW, thanks for making this beautiful hike video! The top is breathtaking!
Ok, that has to be THE craziest overnight stay location I have EVER seen!! But....the views are SPECTACULAR to say the least. Very nice!!
Amazing how you can tell a story without a word
spectacular in every way... wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful capture of this hike. It's one I've been wanting to do for a while now
Your best video ever. You would never get me to climb that 🪜. Look forward to your next video. Thanks
