Thanks for sharing your video! My hiking buddy Keith and I met you at the summit of Sundance Pass. Your video and pictures captured all the beauty we remember. Thanks for bringing back the majesty of the Beartooths!
I apparently hit the wrong link when I replied to your comment a couple of month's ago and it showed up as a separate comment. So I'm going to delete it and copy the link to my One Drive site with the pictures of you and Keith to this reply. Let me know if it doesn't work 1drv.ms/u/s!Aiipfv-0xhK_oTQUYNi6kBkNvfJ7?e=9zMFE7
Thanks for comment ShredHiker! Coming from a fellow hiking vlogger means alot. The Beartooth Plateau is an incredible place to backpack and the drive from Red Lodge to Cooke City is one of the most beautiful drives I have ever experienced. Safe Travels, Mark
@@mhammann57 we spend time exploring between Cooke City & Red Lodge every year, we fell in love the first time we visited. Time just flies by when we’re there!
your stunning scenic shots & your easy disposition combine quite well to capture STILLNESS , which is relatively difficult to find in other nature videos . thank you for conveying this precious quality , & best to you on future adventures ! ( from : a fellow mark ... )
Much appreciated Mark! Focusing on nature's sounds & scenery is exactly what I try to accomplish. The idea of STILLNESS will be a guiding influence in future projects. Thanks and safe travels!
Hey thanks! Andrew right? Pretty sure I just watched you with Joey in Glacier Peak Wilderness. That fire at the end of your trip must have felt great. You've got an awesome channel to which I am now subscribed. My daughter lives in Seattle and the next time I visit her I might have to get a trail recommendation from you. Beautiful area. Safe travels from this old backpacker!
@@mhammann57 Yep Andrew it is! Yeah that trip was a butt kicker. Got some gnarlier ones in the pipe for this summer. I've been marathoning your videos this evening. Absolutely awesome stuff, super relaxing. Makes me wish winter would end haha
I've always went the other way... first night at September Morn, over the pass early and rest at the bottom before heading to Quinibagh Meadows for night 2. I love this video, great footage!
Thanks for your comment! It must be an excellent experience to crest over the pass from the Sept Morn side and have the valley open up before you. Mark
Hey, Mark! Sarah and I ran into you at the end of your trip last summer. So glad we finally checked out your channel. Hope you can get out on some adventures this summer.
Hi William & Sarah! Thanks for checking out the channel. And thanks for the offer of a cold "beverage" at the end of my hike! Trying to plan another hike in the area but all the craziness lately is making it doubtful I'll be able to get out that way before I start another school year here in north Texas. Someday I will return. That is for sure. Take Care! Mark
Do you see the Beartooth at any moment of the trip? I saw it from high up on the Beartooth HWY and started looking at the trail to get close. That trail on both sides are like a national park! I went on a couple of other trips into the Beartooths, pretty rough country and no bridges. Maps that don’t match what you see, a few extra trails. Great fishing and not much company late August and early October of this year. I’ll probably come back once a year now, like my annual trips to the Winds. Thanks for posting!
Hi Mark Just found your business card buried on my desk and watched your video. Excellent accounting of the hike. We are very familiar with the area, as my wife and I have done the one day death march from trailhead to trailhead numerous times and find the Sundance Pass area to be our favorite place in the Beartooths. We are opting to backpack in and camp these days, though. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video, and for the cameo appearance in your film. It was great to meet you and Wayne and look forward to seeing you in the Beartooths again in the not too distant future. I'm curious, did Wayne make it up on Sundance Mt.?
Hi Michael! Thanks for the comment. The scene of our meeting on trail was a great addition to the video. Yes, Wayne did summit Sundance a few days after we met. He took a really cool picture of me from the other side of the valley as I hiked up the switchbacks to the pass. Even zoomed in, I only took up a few pixels in the image. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful area. Not many places like that here on the prairie north of Dallas, TX. Safe travels to you and the wife!
You often cook in your JetBoil. Do you have a non-messy method for cleaning up? I would rather cook in the pot but usually use freezer bags because cleaning is so much trouble and I worry about attracting wildlife.
another fine one.I think what makes yours so amazing is that it's the wilderness that's the star.The beauty, the serenity and peace, the solitude and quiet -- they come thru on yours better than any other youtube videos I've seen.Have you spent any time in the red rock wilderness of south Utah? I think it's my favorite place in the world. There's plenty there for a lifetime of exploration!
I explored Natural Bridges area last June but it was too warm for backpacking. Maybe after I retire from teaching I'll be able to get out there when temps are more suitable. So much wilderness, so little time.
Really 11,000 feet on Sundance Pass? Goodness, no wonder I was huffing and puffing when I hiked it. I documented it in my channel too. Seems kind of a secret. No big crowds like at National Parks.
Great video. Beautiful scenery. Now that you've done this hike, would you recommend hiking West Fork to Lake Fork (the way you did) or the reverse (Lake Fork to West Fork)?
Great question and one I pondered myself ever since completing the hike however, I would have to choose the same way, West Fork to Lake Fork. Reason is the ascent up the switchbacks was so visually stunning. Felt like taking off in an airplane. Views just kept getting better and better. If I had decided to come up from Lake Fork TH, I would have planned to camp at September Morn Lake. This can be a busy place in summer, especially on weekends. Starting up the pass with a fresh set of legs instead of at the end of a long hike is best for me so I wouldn't want to chance arriving at Sept Morn and not finding a campsite. Camping on the other side of the pass was less crowded than September Morn and in my opinion, more beautiful with Whitetail Peak as a backdrop. Thanks for watching!
Hi Keith. That is a whistle. Sometimes I'll hike ahead of Cheryl to check out an area. If it checks out I'll signal her to follow. Kind of a poor-man's walkie talkie. Of course it can also be used to signal for help. Thanks for watching! Mark

Beautiful country and great photography.

Fantastic video! I’ll have to add this to my long list of places to backpack when we visit the area.

We love Montana 💕💕Very beautiful country! Great sights and sounds! 👍👍 (Nice way to add protein) ... whew, that last day was a long one 🥾🥾
Thanks Jennifer! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your videos in the new year. Safe travels! Mark

I did not see the Beartooth on my Sundance hike. Glad you had the chance to experience such a beautiful area. Thanks for watching! Mark
