I haven't seen this video before. I'll bet you count this as one of your best trips. I've been in several of your spots minus the peak bagging and can say that your video work was fantastic. The basins of the Sierra are full of beautiful lakes. Maybe I'll see you on the trails one day. This was my first year to use a packer and I believe it will extend my hiking in the Sierra.
Yep. This one was a good one for sure!! I was just reminiscing with my mom about this trip actually. lol. We just got back from another trip. Went up to Horton lake and climbed Mt. Tom and Basin Mtn and then went over to the Whites and climbed White and Bancroft. It was awesome. Tom was a butt kicker! But totally worth it.
@@Earthculturemusic I have a good friend who lives near Rovana. He watches the skiers come down Mt. Tom in the winter. He has Mt. Tom out his front window and White Mt. Peak out his back window.
This was an awesome video. I just got my permit for this area, even though I did a loop from Florence to Muir Pass and back before because it looks like there are other options. It looks like you did this? Day One North lake trailhead to Climb Piute pass cross country to summit Mt. Emerson - First camp at Muriel lake. Day Two Hike across Humphreys basin - second camp - Tomahawk lake (view of Mt. Humphreys) Climb Pilot Knob. Day Three headed Piute canyon. met the JMT and followed it towards Muir Trail Ranch - third camp on banks of South fork San Joaquin river trout fishing and soaking at Blayney hot springs Day Four Headed up South fork San Joaquin river into Kings Canyon national park. Climb into Evolution valley swimming and fishing at the cascading waterfalls along the way hiked through beautiful Evolution meadow and McClure meadow - fourth camp - McClure meadow Day Five - headed up into Evolution basin - Fifth Camp - Sapphire lake - summit of Mt. Spencer Day Six headed up through Evolution basin to Muir pass - peak bagged Mt. Solomons and Black Giant - dropped into the incredible LeConte canyon and made our - Sixth camp - Little Pete meadow Day Seven LeConte canyon into Dusy basin. - Camp - one of the beautiful lakes in the upper part of the basin. Summit Columbine peak (little technical Day Eight - Bishop pass - Summit - Mt.Agassiz
Unfortunately I'm not the best speaker. But i understand why that would be cool. But if you'd like to just give me a timestamp in the vid and I'll tell you everything in view!!

This loop from North lake to South lake was really awesome! I 've also done a great loop from Florence lake - th-cam.com/video/4wn-Cjos5qY/w-d-xo.html
And yes, there are tons of options. I really like that whole area.
Is public transportation available to take me from South Lake to the town of Bishop when I finish this backpacking trip?
There is no public transportation from South Lake. But it's pretty easy to hitch a ride with someone up there.
@@Earthculturemusic thank you very much
Sierra Nevada is Spanish for "Snowy Mountain Range". No need to say "snowy mountain range mountains".
Snowy mountain range mountains sounds good to me. lol.
What camera did you use for filming?
This video was shot on the GoPro Hero 3+ black edition. I'm using the Hero 4 silver edition now.
When in September was this hike done?
Later half.
Too bad you didn't narrate and tell us what you were looking at.
Unfortunately I'm not the best speaker. But i understand why that would be cool. But if you'd like to just give me a timestamp in the vid and I'll tell you everything in view!!
Give me a bunch if you want! It actually sounds like it could be a lot of fun. lol!
