  • On Day 7 of the JMT, I hiked 21.3 miles. I started the day about 3 miles south of Mather Pass, hiked up and over Mather Pass, enjoyed the Palisade Lakes, and finished the day in Le Conte Canyon, a few miles south of Muir Pass. What was really special about Day 7 was that I completed my 100th mile hiked on the top of Mather Pass.

    My friend and I hiked the JMT SOBO this past summer, and we camped on the south side of Mather (where you heard the coyote) because we got caught in a storm. When the storm ended those coyotes started to howl & bark VERY close by our tents, so I know how unnerving that is. 😬

    Coyotes for sure! It is unusual to hear them carrying on during the day since they are generally nocturnal.. Pretty Cool stuff + I Love you raw emotion!! That is what thru-hiking will do, teach you sooo much about yourself, what you can accomplish, humble you and make you fell soooo small inside this Amazing Creation!! P.S. Glad you hit the Golden Staircase going down, the last time I hit it going up it kicked my butt!!

      Thank you! Most of the videos are with my iPhone 12 Mini and occassionally I'll use my Sony A7R3 to film, but it isn't as stable

    Congratulations Erin! I guess 100 Miles is a huge psychological barrier to break and gives an immediate uplift and motivation to keep going. I really enjoyed being out there, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful adventure. Have a wonderful day. Best wishes, Mario

    • @ErinExploring
      @ErinExploring  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For sure! The longest multi-day hike I had done before was 42 miles, so it felt absolutely crazy and so cool to hit 100. Thank you!

    I think you stopped at Starr's Camp here. You will pass me going SOBO in the next day or two; it seems you started on Aug 6. I started going SOBO from MTR on the 13th.

      Thank you so much for watching! And I originally was going to do the PCT in 2020 but that was cancelled due to all that was going on, but I'll actually be doing the PCT this year!!

    Great video, such a beautiful area. How much does your pack weigh? It looks relatively small.

    • @ErinExploring
      @ErinExploring  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I forgot to weigh my pack, but when I calculate the weight it adds up to be about 16 pounds baseweight!

      My camera gear takes up a good portion of that 😅 (about 4 lbs)
