I am so enjoying your trip through this epic section of the trail. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your journey. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!
Gifford Pinchot was an American forester and politician. He served as the fourth chief of the U.S. Division of Forestry, as the first head of the United States Forest Service, and as the 28th governor of Pennsylvania.
There's a National Forest named after him in Washington State.
A State Park is named after him in PA.
You all seem to be having the time of your life 😊Glad you met up with this group and became a family 👍😊
You and your tramily are so entertaining while traversing this beautifully difficult terrain. Thank you so much for sharing all the moments,
Lovely ending with tired laughter and joy. Another epic day for sure. Loving this part of your journey from the comfort of my home with morning coffee. See ya tomorrow!!
I'm so glad you guys found each other to make the journey. It's great for camaraderie and so much safer than doing it alone.
What a great group of friends. Loved that you waited for each other at the rivers and hard sections.
River Crossin's R Us! Such a great group of friends supporting each other.
needs more rope. I keep watching because the algorithm knows at some point someone's going downstream.
Wow you should have named this one raging river crossing 😮 They were everywhere and scary. The views today were epic! So glad you have a caring tramily to hike with because no one needs to hike that trail by themselves.
Hard work those river crossings. What an epic adventure. Nice videos. Thank you for your work you put into them.
Love the changes to the milage everyday. Hoping to see positives in the future on the good/great days. Today’s opportunity 45 miles!
Love seeing views and the way y’all enjoy each other. Laughter’s good for the soul
Incredible views but those river crossings are crazy!! Keep it safe 🥾
No one can or should argue about another person's struggles and difficulties. It is such an individual feeling. Even though you seem to be struggling through the sierras, you're still pushing forward. So well done.
On a more technical note, this is typical wilderness hiking. The fords look quite normal and shallow, same goes for the snow walking being average to below usual for this time of the year. You are acquiring good skills. If you ever consider doing the CDT, this is not even a promo. But one thing at a time. Enjoy Mather. And yes, go on the rocks to the left where you discussed in the vid.
Your videos are so great and inspiring! Thanks for sharing 😊
How sweet it is to navigate all these passes, river crossings, and alpine starts with your Tramily. #trulyspecial ☮️❤️🤝
What a challenging section but you guys kicked tush thank you for the wonderful views
You are such a trooper! This is most definitely NOT the AT! Seeing you all relaxing at the end of the day says that y’all are a great crew!
I cowboy camped in the same exact spot and the next morning we did Mather and when getting ready to descend a sizable boulder broke loose from the top and caused a rockslide. Luckily hikers below were not killed. A few had minor injuries. Two ran off the rock slide area onto the snow , curled up with backpack up hill. I learned a lot! Be safe
These videos bring back memories of my time in the Sierra! The struggle is real! Your videos literally make my day! Thank you🏕️
You crushed the crossings!
You’re such a delightful dork sometimes ❤ You have a way of capturing an audience for sure! I look forward to your videos every day 😊 Thank you for sharing!
I know the hiking was tough, but the views were incredible. The adventure of a lifetime. Happy trails..
That was some scary river crossings!
I am so glad you didn't wait a couple more weeks to do the Sierras! Can you imagine how much worse the "river crossings" would have been with additional snow melt? I've never watched a vlog of the PCT before. Definitely a challenging trail. Happy trekking! 🥾
I have really enjoyed watching your confidence grow in the mountains. Today you just attacked the water crossings. Clearly, the best is yet to come.
Good morning, Julianne. Do you think you crossed enough raging rivers today? I couldn't believe my eyes. It's like you just went from river to river. Ya'll are doing so great. The teamwork is excellent. Maybe those were Somewhere's prints you wrre following. How long did it take your feet and legs to warm up? Love taking this journey with you. Thanks for letting me follow in your footsteps. Take care of yourself and each other. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Damn RR!!!!! That there those river crossings were scarier than hell!! Congrats!!! Wow! You have great Tramily. Be safe out there!!!

Lol I am looking at these videos with all the snow and wondering how do you guys know where the trail is with all the snow? So much snow walkin and crossin. Lots of water crossins! I am amazed by your accomplishments! So glad you have a great tramily to hike with!
The river crossings are a good reason not to go solo. Pretty intense.
Aaaahhhh! Recommend against trusting the snow bridges during the melt-off - especially in the dark.
Keep up the hike🎉🎉🎉
You guys are doing great. I’ll worry about the water crossing also. Thanks for sharing your video’s
That was an epic day of river crossing! Such great team work!
You all had me laughing so hard at the end of this video🤣🤣
I enjoy the way you all have fun together!
Building a bond!
Wow I didn't realize how much I hate night hiking until I saw y'all jumping over rushing streams on ice. Understand why but oh so scary! Love the way the tramily waits for each other to make sure everyone's safe.
Yahoo. Rivah Jumpin!!!
I just love your trail family. You all just make my day.❤❤❤❤
Wow.......the waters getting deep.........cheers..........pilgrim.......cheers
On an earlier video you stated that hiking the AT is harder than the PCT. I wonder if you still think that? Also, as I’m following thru hikes of both trails I have to say that the PCT blows away the AT with spectacular views!
Now I understand when you said that the pct was more dangerous and easier to die than the at 😮😮😮 wow!
How great it is to have clear trail after all that snow and rivers. Standing on solid ground!
Views for
Miles!!!! Simply beautiful!
I love seeing you laugh so much! You seem really happy!
Altitude giggles!! Lol
So fun to watch your progress and excitement with those river crossings. Great camp spot.
You always make me laugh. I watch your video every morning while I cold-plunge, it’s my morning ritual. You’re in the cold snow, I’m in the cold water 😂
Great views and lots of “water crossing”. You all do a good job on them. You have a wonderful trail family
WOW!!! What a challenging day today!!!
You'll enter the Gifford Pinchot (Pinch-O) National Forest after crossing the Bridge Of The Gods over the Columbia River. Great job crossing those streams. Really smart waiting for Boojee at that crossing, so easy for a simple slip to become a head-crushing drowning in the backcountry. Your videos are great to watch!
I love the laughter, humans are so tribal. In part why I go to church
Very impressed that Birdcall had the wherewithal to speakup to wait for Boujee! Cough cough (because I'm a woman, 😅 )
Nice job choosing not to try to cross where the trail crosses! For anyone coming after and watching/reading comments, this is not a mandatory river crossing. You can parallel the river opposite the trail and hike up into Upper Basin/Mather Pass that way. Know that this is also true for many other crossings: for example, that scary crossing of Tyndall Creek below Forester can also be bypassed by simply staying on the other side of the creek and continuing to hike upstream. You cross eventually, but much later when it’s a smaller beast. I’ve hiked in the Sierra many times later in the season but what you all are doing is much harder and a whole different animal.
Once again that’s another fine adventure 😊
"We're gonna collect this here water"
All of it!? 😁
Wow you all really toughed it out. God be with you. 😊
PCT award for the best hiking group of 2024 goes to RoadRunner and the 3 Bs.
Ive recently done a section of the PCT on the Tahoe Rim Trail. I had to cross several rivers like this, some were quite scary. Im hoping the snow melts fast so you get easier crossin's! prepare for a lot of blow downs too, the trail was a mess around Barker Pass
Nice view, great hikers
A piece of cake! ;)
Fun fact, that actually was your first official (S fork Kings) river crossing
A hiker drowned there in 2017
W😮wza! What a day! Well done!🌻
Wow, amazing hiking.
I can't figure out if it's chilly or warm where you are, based on how each of you dress. (Some in long- sleeved hoodies and other shirtless.) 🤷♀️
And I wonder if wearing your spikes on your shoes for river crossing could be done and would it be helpful. 🤔
Glad you all made it safely, it looked rugged. Walking in snow after immersing your feet in ice cold raging water must not have been fun at all.
LETS GO!
Great video!
Now that you're in the Sierras, please do another comparison to the AT.
Good morning how you doing.
Usually the rangers have a sign up telling you to go up stream so you only cross once. Bear crk is another nasty crossing.
I didn't mean to be so respectful after all
That's just nonstop river crossin'. Do you change to different shoes after getting wet? At least the group of crossings in the CDT are in New Mexico. In the icy meltwater near Mt. Katahdin I was crossing carefully thinking it's just my boots and socks and slipped and sat down and got soaked.
It's too cold huh
Since days I'm wondering why you don't freeze/ bei cold all the time. Shorts an rivers crossings.. one after the other..🥶
You may be coughing but it's a good sign if you can still sing . . .
As long it’s not Ace of Base.
Why are you not using your SealSkinz?
How did you keep your feet from frostbite? I can’t imagine hiking in snow with wet shoes from the river crossin’
Their feet are very very hot from all the blood rushing in from the hiking.
Flow in feet per second times depth. If it is greater than 20 it is dangerous to cross. A rule of thumb.
Uhm how do i calculate this while staring at the water?
Dear Roadrunner, I’ve noticed you haven’t been having fun by stating “River Crossin’ before crossing those raging rivers! Ha!
Yeah I don't get this 3am start business for passes (not peaks ie 12k vs 14k). Why not get as far up as possible, camp on dry rock, and then have an entirely civilized 5-6am departure?
I guess the tradeoff is afternoon postholing for 2 hrs, but I'd rather do that than hike in the dark for the same amount of time next morning
The post-holing is worse for me honestly
Postholing can be dangerous, lots of twisted/broken ankles, jammed/torn knee joints, and band shins, you never know what is under the snow cover. Also, the edges of the creeks they are crossing are softer and become more dangerous in the afternoon as the melt speeds up. Lastly, you get up high and there's not much flat space on the slope or cleared spots in the rocky areas, and they don't look prepared to spend multiple nights sleeping on snow.
@@memathews I got hurt postholing Summer snow like this in Norway - lost a lot of skin on a shin from boulders beneath the snow and had recurring infections ever since. Worth getting an Alpine start. I am soooooo envious. Enjoy and well done.
I don't think they are experienced enough to do what you are suggesting. The way they are doing it now is probably better for their level. Alpine requires experience.
@@YetithruhikesWeeks ago I suggested dropping the sandals and getting full length OR Crocodile gaiters. (Perfect weight exchange.)
Did anyone listen? Of course not; well at least they started carrying their axes properly.
Those suckers allow you to travel with practically no regard for postholing. You don't even need long pants - I've got photos of me rocking them with shorts.
Last point on "alpine starts". It's standard for Western mountaineering because the max peaks are 14ers.
You want to sleep below 12k, so you do that, get up at 2am, start at 3am and summit around 8-9am.
On the way down, you don't have to worry 'as much' about conditions, since the "best" (safest) non technical (ie belaying) descent technique is plunge stepping.
And guess what you need to do that? Those trusty OR gaiters.
Drink more water if you are coughing.
Love you and your tramliy but just wondering how bird call got his name if he only has one call. Not being ugly just wondering
