What a goddam relief to see someone who looks like me getting out there and sharing about it. When I recover from yesterday's leg surgery, I'll do the same.
I LOVE this more than I can even express! My husband is black. We backpack a lot. We have, honest to God, never run into another black human on the trail. We always joke about it, but in reality, it would be really nice to see more diversity! AND you are a woman. HELL YES! Beautiful video. Thank you for shareing!
This was gorgeous, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing people of color outside!! You're an awesome story teller, too! I hope to do the JMT at some point myself. Keep hiking!!
Can't believe I'm just now finding your page, but I am so glad I did! As a black female, I rarely, if ever, see many hikers that look like me. My family is big into camping, but I'm hoping to break off and test out hiking for some much needed mama time away. Loved watching y'alls journey ❤️
I'm happy to see other people of color documenting their outdoor activities. I'm starting to see more people like me on trails, but there's still very much a "that's white folk stuff" mindset among my friends and family when I talk about hiking and camping. I laughed aloud at 5:50, I know that feeling so well.
Honestly, I'm one of those Black people who say hi to other Black people when we are the only ones in sight. In honesty, I live abroad and say hi to other Americans when I see them. I love those things we share that connect us to each other.
I'm kind of a PCT/JMT video addict. I watch a ton of them. I can't believe I hadn't run into yours until now. I must say, I was immediately drawn in by your beautiful soothing speaking voice. Almost wish you would have broken out in song just to see if that voice carried over to singing 😄. It was a beautiful well done well edited video. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!
So glad to see you strong young Black women out on the trail. Tell your friends and tell them to come and add a necessary splash of true color to the too-often all-white back country. I smiled when you encountered the Black woman doing the PCT. You were all so excited. While I'm an old White guy and so can't say I really know what that's like, I can imagine. Keep going. Camp Spam! I'm doing that next hike.
This is amazing! I’m a black male from SoCal and spend a good amount of time in the Sierras. I’ve never seen another black hiker in the Sierras other than at car camp sites in the Yosemite valley. I pray that one day we won’t be so uncommon in the outdoors.
Outstanding photography and editing brought one right into the moment.Such a rugged trail,such spectacular weather, was fairly kind to you....thanks for the treat, glad you all like hiking,and each other after your journey.note: all the bears in area agreed to leave your group alone after hearing that thunder and lightning scream... said, it would kill the unborn...hmmm such sensitive animals.Glaf everyone is ok.
I fell in love with the JMT when I saw “A Mile…Mile and a Half”. And like that film, yours inspires a love for others to experience this trail as well. Thanks!
So proud and inspired by you ladies. We need more black people on the trail. We want more black people on the trail. My wife and I are hiking the JMT SOBO from HI to Whitney this summer and it was great to see you do this. She is basically a rookie but we’re training hard and we will be ready. Beautiful videos.
I absolutely love this video... Your attitude and vibes are amazing, this is for sure one of the best JMT docs I have seen (which is saying a lot, I'm downright obsessed). Thank you for sharing this!
Okay, thank you for taking the time to put together this video, I absolutely loved it! I (solo lady) hiked from happy isles to VVR in 2022 over 9 days and had to get exit somewhat unexpectedly. I’m thinking hard about completing it next summer, starting at duck lake trailhead and finally finishing at Whitney. The first half of your video, the soreness and rain (mostly the rain) made me question “wait, DO I want to finish it??” But by the second half I was whooping out loud in my apartment saying hell yeah, you go girls!!! Just so excited for you. You ladies are inspiring! And I definitely want to complete it next summer. Also I’m happy you and that woman and her dad crossed paths on the trail ❤️ I love to see that pure joy radiating. I may not experience it myself as a white lady, but I could see the joy, which is both heartwarming and a somewhat heartbreaking reality. Everyone should feel encouraged and welcome in outside; mother nature does not discriminate! Keep up the inspiring work!!
Oh - I forgot the original reason I was commenting was to ask what dates you did this. Sorry if I missed it form the video! I started on August 15 and people coming NOBO were telling me about all the terrible storms days on end
Thanks for the kind note ☺ Yes, it's always special to see another person of color on trail, since it is quite rare. I appreciate that acknowledgement. We started July 17 and finished Aug 5. I hope you do get to complete the trail! Enjoy the experience!
Great video!!! I hiked the JMT 5 years ago and fell in love with the High Sierra's. Since then, I have gone back and hiked the Rae Lakes Loop and the North Lake South Lake loop. I think I can join in with you and say, "yes, It was well worth it" Hike on my friend.
This was awesome! You come across as a natural and down to earth narrator and it was a nice change of pace from the styles of other hiking videos I’ve watched. Great job!
Mybwife and I have done it twice. We said this was the last time as we did it south bound first and then north bound (we both agree northboud was way better). Here I am again watching videos and thinkn about going back for a 3 rd time….glad you made it the whole way. The sense of accomplishment you feel when you are done is so great its hard to put it into words. The people you meet are awesome, everyone is there for the same reason in the end, to experience something that many do not. Theres no parking lot or paved paths for easy access to these views. If you want to see them in person you must put in the work, at least you can say that you seen them in person and not just on a video like many more than us do. Congrats! And maybe sometime my wife and I will see you on the trail!
My husband and i are black and want to go hiking - we walk trails, run, workout frequently but aren’t nearly prepared to do a long hike. We dunno where to start , what to pack, what to look out for,etc. i binge these videos all the time , black, white it doesn’t matter we are obsessed
Awesome video of your experience!! One of the best I've seen on the JMT and I've watched a million of them. I completed the JMT in 2022 and hope to do it again in 2024.
I've been watching so many vids of JMT and PCT hikes, and this is the first I've seen with black people. I love it. Excellent video! Congratulations on completing the trail. ☮
Hello! I just wanted to say a big thank you from Australia! I have been researching the John Muir trail and LOVED watching your experience. Thank you so much for the inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻💪
That was one of the best shot and edited JMT videos I've ever seen. Great job! K-Day is awesome, I've followed her on IG for a while now. Thank you for sharing this!
I cried. I mean, they were happy tears. I'm proud of your hard work. I've always wanted to do something like this but been too afraid. So yes, me just some stranger is so proud of you for getting out of your comfort zone and doing something so amazing.
I just found your channel and am binge watching your videos. Your filming style and humor drew me in instantly (do not watch bear videos on TH-cam) 😂 I've mentioned a number of times to my hiking partner (both us middle aged white women) that I rarely see diversity on trails and it bothers me that everyone I see is like me. I LOVE your videos. Can't wait to see more content from you! ❤ Happy Trails!
Well done, all the best from Scotland, the birth place of John Muir. That trail looks unreal with jaw dropping scenery, Thanks for sharing and filming your journey glad you stuck it out to the finish.
Sweet adventure! Great to see more POC out there. We only saw one black person entire trail 2016. As Mexicans on the trail that year our permit was checked 10 times! Felt like we were being profiled as other groups walked passed rangers not being stopped lol
Just remarkable, I really enjoyed watching this and seeing how the impact of strong woman can help one another execute and conquer what was once never imaginable by each other. Stepping out of ones comfort zone and live. Hope this sparks your desire to move onto PCT or AT “hint hint” have a great week…
Love this video! Great photography for one. Also, most JMT videos (I've watched a bunch) either explicitly or implicitly are on the theme "it was tough but I survived (and it sure was pretty)" and while this one captures that vibe as well, it also has an extra unspoken power because of something lurking underneath the experience, which perhaps can be expressed as "I didn't even know I could possibly do this (and if I'm honest, I didn't think I was even allowed to do this)". Overcoming THAT is super powerful in a way other JMT stories simply aren't. Oh also, love the music. REALLY happy to watch a JMT video without the ubiquitous "soulful acoustic guitar music". You know what I'm talking about. 🤓 Ha, yes, bear encounter videos. I have a feeling we've watched quite a few of the same ones. An important corrective is to also watch videos like this one where the subject doesn't even come up (well, it does, but very briefly, and no bears are sighted). That's clearly the most common experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! it was definitely an experience I'll carry with me forever. I really had fun making this video so thank you for watching!
I'm glad YT suggested this video, I loved it! It's inspired me to try something hard - maybe not this hard haha - but to get out in nature more for sure!
I LOVE It!! Being a PCT, JMT Thru-hiker as well as covering over 2000 miles on the AT and the CDT and 1000's of miles on others trail, I have Never seen a women of color hiking & only one other man of color (on the AT) !! This makes me So Happy & has been discussed many nights at camps across the globe on how to encourage our colored family to get out & explore the backcountry!! Keep on Keepin & I wld love to run into ya'll on trail some day!! ~Siesta
Hello from Sweeping Beauty (Janice), Dasher (Wesley), and Poppins (Andrew)! I stumbled upon your video and relived such a wonderful experience through your eyes and words. It was great meeting you on trail and sharing the adventure. Thank you for posting!
I hiked with a group in high school and would definately LOOVE to go with you on your next trip. I know most backpackers don't want tagalongs but my problem is...I can't get myself to go alone. If you're ever back in the Shenandoah area...let me know.
I loved your video, I loved everything about it. Great footage, your narration was awesome. Thank you for sharing it. We did this trail in 2019 but we went north bound. Thank you again for sharing, loved it!
You met Lani "Sunshine"! I hope you have an opportunity to watch her journey on the PCT. It's been refreshing to see Black women and others of color embarking on these incredible thru-hikes. I want so much to experience the PCT and JMT, but I am not comfortable doing it alone, for safety reasons. If I wait to find people to do this with, I may never accomplish these treks. Any advice? Looking forward to following your epic trip!
Thank you so much for making this film! I loved every second and as a black women hiker myself I was amazing and inspiring to see y’all getting it done! Congrats on your finish
This video is one of the best on You Tube regarding the JMT. Thank you so much for your share. I was laughing, crying and rejoicing when y'all made it to the top of Mt. Whitney. I'm doing this hike in June and I am shaking in my boots. The fear is real. I'm going to walk through that fear right up to the top of Mount Whitney!
Great video! This is not easy - I attempted the JMT this past August. I made it 150 miles. Altitude, blisters and getting seperated from my group told me it wasn't my time. I'll be back next year to complete the section from Bishop Pass to Whitney. Again, I loved your video. Super inspiring! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
My best friend Kenyatta (a black man) and I get our permit out of Happy isles July 14th. We’re both nervous & excited it’s so crazy 😊😅 Good deal on your video btw I was genuinely entertained
This was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. What an incredible journey. I am inspired to…hike more. Not sure I wanna sleep outside, on purpose, with a fully functioning shower…but if I ever do, you’ve empowered me to know I can do it. 😂
Great video! Our group didn't make it to Whitney; we exited at Kearsearge, because of my altitude sickness. Wah! But the beautiful familiar scenes bring back happy memories.
It breaks my heart that this channel isn’t bigger - please never stop making content
Beautiful person with a beautiful spirit. Thanks for taking us along
What a goddam relief to see someone who looks like me getting out there and sharing about it. When I recover from yesterday's leg surgery, I'll do the same.
Yes!! I hope you are recovering well :)

This was gorgeous, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing people of color outside!! You're an awesome story teller, too! I hope to do the JMT at some point myself. Keep hiking!!

@@meghan6438 I did !

I felt that “🤬 this 🤬!” 😂😂😂 @15:25. Think we’ve all been there at some point. Yet we all figure out a way to keep going!
Wow! In the last trip I could visibly see that you truly got your trail legs! What a great vid!!!! So proud of you all!

Hey Monica...well done video, thanks for sharing.. It was great to see you out there!
Awesome video of your experience!! One of the best I've seen on the JMT and I've watched a million of them. I completed the JMT in 2022 and hope to do it again in 2024.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing your journey.
Great video for lots of reasons. Mad props for taking on a challenge so significant that have squashed others who were likely better prepared.
Starting my backpacking journey on Saturday!! Soo excited!!! ❤
Yess! Have the best time! Embrace the suck 🙃
What an amazing adventure and equally amazing video! The JMT is one of my dream hikes. Thanks for sharing!
Very well put together video. Nice job on completing the JMT! Hope to see you out there....

Beautiful footage & edit…. great job !

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
I was there at the same time! :) Happy days. Thanks for making this video. I was missing trail and came across your video.
Thanks for watching!
You met Lani "Sunshine"! I hope you have an opportunity to watch her journey on the PCT. It's been refreshing to see Black women and others of color embarking on these incredible thru-hikes. I want so much to experience the PCT and JMT, but I am not comfortable doing it alone, for safety reasons. If I wait to find people to do this with, I may never accomplish these treks. Any advice?

I hiked about 80 of it about a week behind y'all, those storms were so crazy! Y'all are bad ass!
Thanks for sharing!
Great hike, great story. Nice to have this kind of video on TH-cam!
I love this! Love it! Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this film! I loved every second and as a black women hiker myself I was amazing and inspiring to see y’all getting it done! Congrats on your finish
Yess keep getting out there! Thank you for watching!
Beautifully captured!
Doing the Nüümü Poyo in the future is my dream. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Congratulations 👏🏿🙌🏿
Thanks you! And thanks for watching!
Loved this thankyou for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. Very cool. Very beautiful. Very challenging. What's your next hiking challenge?
Thanks for watching :) just finished the Tahoe Rim Trail, so a video for that will be coming soon!
Good job!! Nice video.
This video is one of the best on You Tube regarding the JMT. Thank you so much for your share. I was laughing, crying and rejoicing when y'all made it to the top of Mt. Whitney. I'm doing this hike in June and I am shaking in my boots. The fear is real. I'm going to walk through that fear right up to the top of Mount Whitney!
Thanks so much for the kind words! You're going to have the time of your life! And you might not realize it until you finish lol.
I love this video! Of all the YT videos about the JMT this is really one of my favorites. Would love to see more videos from you. 🙂
Thanks so much! I am planning on making more :)
Great video! Brought back some awesome scenery memories from my hike. I am pretty sure my son and I crossed paths with your crew 7/25-7/26 @VVR?
I think we were there around that time!
Thank you for this. You've lifted my spirits!
So glad! Thanks for watching!
Great video! This is not easy - I attempted the JMT this past August. I made it 150 miles. Altitude, blisters and getting seperated from my group told me it wasn't my time. I'll be back next year to complete the section from Bishop Pass to Whitney. Again, I loved your video. Super inspiring! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
It's a tough one. A lot of people don't make it halfway. Great job going 150 miles!
Wonderfully done! So great meeting you all on the trail!
Thanks, Brian! Great to meet you as well!
My best friend Kenyatta (a black man) and I get our permit out of Happy isles July 14th. We’re both nervous & excited it’s so crazy 😊😅
Good deal on your video btw I was genuinely entertained
Hah. my bear encounter videos actually led to finding hiking videos and that led to me finding your channel!
Funny coincidence.
Got an amazing feeling while watching this! Also, as a woman it's very inspiring to watch! Kudos :)
This is a trail that I would love to do. You go beautiful black sisters.
This was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. What an incredible journey. I am inspired to…hike more. Not sure I wanna sleep outside, on purpose, with a fully functioning shower…but if I ever do, you’ve empowered me to know I can do it. 😂
Amazing journey! This is on my bucket list 😮 I would love to find a group of women to share this with. Congratulations !
Great video! Our group didn't make it to Whitney; we exited at Kearsearge, because of my altitude sickness. Wah! But the beautiful familiar scenes bring back happy memories.
awesome video, and fantastic narration. an inspiring story! thank you for sharing. 8-) #hikeon
GREAT video! Congratulations on completing your hike! Hiked it back in 2016, changed my life. Been back every summer since for shorter sections. :)
I would love to do sections each year!
This is wonderful- I feel like I'm there with you.
Thanks Unc!
Very well done, film and editing skills very apparent. I so want to do the JMT someday, thank you for the documentary and inspiration!
