- The Mt Silcox Roadless Area is a place that I have wanted to get back to ever since I first hiked through it a few years ago. It's an incredible area! This time I wanted to bring Val to see it for herself. We had some other friends join us for this one as well. I got the chance to head out with my friend Joey of My Own Frontier.
This trip was much earlier in the year than my first trip here and we knew that we would be dealing with a bit of snow and blow downs. Needless to say, it would be an adventure!
NOTE: Sadly, since our trip here, lightening started a fire in the area and it made it in to the Four Lakes Basin. We can't say yet whether the fire will rip through the whole basin or not, but we do know that this video will be the last look of the way it was...

Welcome back! Hope you had a great trip!
My goodness, Travis...Having Joey and Val (and some other friends) join you on a hike? Your heart must have been so full.....!
It was a great group that is for sure!
Nice trip and good to see that Joey is alive and well.
He's still alive and out there walking some trail!
Enjoyed this one also but regret the all the fires in your world this summer. Good to see Joey make a guest appearance since he's gone dark on his channel. The drone shots are working!
Sadly this whole area was hit really hard by a fire. None of it looks like the way it did in the video now.
Always a great trip with you.
Loved the peaceful stillness,,,
You never disappoint 👉🥰
Thank you! This is definitely one of my favorite routes!
Wonderful hike!
This route is great, though it won't be the same now. Sadly a couple weeks after we did this hike, lightening started a fire that has been burning since early July and has now burned most of the area we hiked... and it is not out yet.
Solid video. Liked the Behind the scenes Subway shot. Val had some great shots in there also. Nice airiel footage of the lakes and mountains enjoyed it all. Thanks.
It's too bad that some of the scenery that you see in there will not look the same...
@@mountainwanderer don't throw away your footage. We can hike it next season to do a compare and contrast and see the devastation the fire caused.
I made a video with the footage...😀
Awesome hiking trail. I always think that those lakes up on those mountain tops is so beautiful. Great aerial footage too. Can’t go wrong with good friends and good times in the outdoors 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, man! Alpine lakes are something special to be sure!
Very nice trip and a little bit of everything to boot. Timber looks good. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
This one did have a bit of everything! Makes for a good adventure!
Another great one. Love your vids.
Glad to see Joey is still alive and kickin too 😂
Thank you for coming along with us!
I’m a sucker for those drone shots! Love seeing that perspective. Great video as always and glad you got cooperative smoke free weather!
I'm still learning how to get good shots with the drone. You're very good at it. I'm taking notes on every one of your videos! Thanks for checking it out!
Holy smokes, incredible country. Hopefully the fire didn't do too much damage to the area. I gotta get out west.
The Cabinet Mountains are truly amazing! If you get the chance you should definitely go! Until then, I'll keep making videos..😀
Thank you! Watched again!
Thank you for watching! Again!
Great video! I love that trail! No matter what the fire does it will still be a special beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.
It is a great area! That area on the other side of the ridge from Goat Lakes was burned back 2015 and it's coming back.
Wow.. your camera resolution is very sharp..great video..Good to see Joey!
Thankfully the cameras keep getting better and better! Thanks or checking it out!
beautiful vid, great music! my friend & I have time set aside to do western Montana in July and we have yet to pick a hike... this is at the top of my list but I'll have to check on fire damage : (
Sadly, this was a huge fire last year. I don't know what the trails look like. Hopefully they are not too bad.
Nice hiking. Nice to see Joey.
Hopefully I'll run into him again!
How fortuitous! My wife and I are heading to this area in a couple weekends for a biking/camping/hiking/floating adventure. We are starting by biking Hiawatha and then spending the night in Wallace (I'll keep my eyes peeled for that Radio Brewing Co - I love finding new, good breweries). We are then heading over to Thompson Falls and spending a few nights at the state campground. We'll float one of the days (bikes come in handy for shuttling) but we'd like to get in a good dayhike. We'd planned on hitting Mt Silcox but I'm open to suggestions (we can drive a bit) if you have them (8-12 miles). We hope the Thorne Creek fire is under control and we don't get smoked out. Again, beautiful footage! And ridge walks are the best!
That sounds like an amazing trip! You'll have to go to Kellogg to hit Radio Brewing, but there are also 2 breweries in Wallace. Hopefully they have the fire until control by the time you get there.
@@mountainwanderer We had to modify our trip a couple times, but still ended up having a great time! We mainly ended up in the St Joe drainage, even though there are fires there as well. Couldn't get as far up as we would've liked. Still a lot better than being at work! :)
@@wade2361 Yeah, there are a couple good fires over there. St Joe drainage is beautiful! Tough to go wrong.
Wonderful hike! Enjoyed every minute! Great views, great fun!
Thank you! It was a great trip, with just enough adventure.😃
Your my uncle's friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jason).
Well hello there! Your uncle is pretty cool! Good to have another person from the valley on here!
Cool Country! Is that "Joey with a beard", the original You-Tube backpacking Hipster?
The one and only.... or the original!
@@mountainwanderer He's not the "one and only"..... Travis.....However, he is "original". Then again so is Sasquatch. 😂
True
Great video! What time of year was this? Trying to gauge if doing this area in April is possible...
We did this trip in late June last year. Unfortunately a fire came through here after this trip and burned almost everything you see in the video.
That fire was dreadful. Smoke, evacs all summer long. Sad
That fire really bummed me out. It took out almost the whole route we did for this trip. It was a big one.
Nice drone footage! Did you get the Air 2s?
Yep, exactly!
OMG is Joe sleeping in a hammock? omg omg!
He was hanging out with the wrong crowd... 😃
i love my hammock... best night of sleep ever in mine.
Can't beat hammocks in my opinion.
is this in grizzly country?
Yes. The Cabinets are known for Griz.
