Another great video! Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it!

Took the little brother [whom you may recall was with me at Yellowstone when last we met] for the full hike starting at Bear Lake Trailhead, all the way up to the third lake. Memorial Day 2021...and we got an unseasonably late snowfall the night before. Loved every minute of it. And the post-hike whisky bar at the Stanley was the cherry on the sundae.

[@kshenanigans4528]

👍👌thanks very helpful

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

We’ve done a few of these trails although they were with snow on the ground and lakes frozen over! Also beautiful that time of year! 💕

[@WereintheRockies]

That would be beautiful!

[@matthewgriffin8652]

First time heading to RMNP, in July thanks for the video. Great coverage can’t wait to try trials

[@WereintheRockies]

Have a great time.

[@KNGEveryday]

Thank you so much! Heading there in a few days. You all helped so much in showing the trails. Although, we are hikers, we did not want to hike for miles on this trip, because we are going to other places in CO.

[@WereintheRockies]

We hope you had a great time.

[@jamestrowbridge29]

I climbed longs peak in 1983. That was an easy one

[@martimcgaughey249]

Hi we met you hiking that day. You are just as friendly and personable in real life as you come across in your videos . Hope we cross paths in the Rockies again some day.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you so much! We'll be watching for you. 😊

[@janczekaj2077]

Hi Matt & Cheryl! We just love you guys!!! We bought your audio guide for Yellowstone & Tetons the information and stories were so enjoyable and interesting. It was like you were in the car with us Matt! We did Rocky NP a few years ago and it was AMAZING!!! We saw lots of bull moose on the Grand Lake side.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you 🙏 so much (this is Matt). So grateful to you for your support!

[@janczekaj2077]

@@WereintheRockies You guys are amazing!!! So informative and fun to watch!!! I wish you had something on the Oregon Coast that's where we're going in October.

[@WereintheRockies]

[@WereintheRockies]

Sheryl & Matt...My profile pic is from RMNP's ride, stables en route to Bear Lake Trailhead.

[@WereintheRockies]

Awesome! My ride was at the Fall River entrance

[@robiness6019]
