Thanks so much. Yes, we've done Mirror and Crater Lakes. Hopefully again next summer. The Pawnee Pass Loop looks like a fun trek. We've been to Pawnee Lake, it's beautiful and not crowded.

You're welcome and thanks so much.

You're so welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video.

You're so welcome and thank you too for watching. 😊

It's one of the most beautiful lakes I've ever hiked to. Thank you 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much.

You're so welcome and thank you too.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

That would have been great, to meet you. Thanks so much. We just completed our first backpacking trip this year. I'll have a video out in a couple of weeks. I already have next weeks scheduled. * FYI, I know you climb and do the really hard stuff. Cooper Peak in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, it's saddle has a cornice and the south facing side slope is all snow still. We met two people who climbed down it from the back side. They were doing the Hells Canyon Loop. The woman looked terrified and she was pretty cut up but not injured.

Thanks for the info. I have an ultralight pack that I carry for 1-2 nights if needed to scale some higher peaks. I have more 14er videos coming as I accompany my friend on his quest to finish all CO 14ers this year (he has 10 left)

Sounds like a very adventurous year for you! Looking forward to your climbs.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks you so much. I hope you had a great hike. We just got back from a backpacking trip. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. We can't wait to get to Bluebird Lake, a few miles beyond but a whole different world with melting snowpack conditions right now. 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed the hike. Thanks for watching and such a wonderful review.😊

Yes it is and I hope you do. Thanks for watching.

You're so welcome and thanks for your kind words.

Thanks so much! It means so much coming a technical climber, like you. I've been watching who's getting where in the Wild Basin. We've been to Bluebird in August 2023, but I can only imagine how conditions are now. Looking forward to your next expedition.

I appreciate your kind review. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much! I'm so anxious to hike higher and deeper into the Rockies. Winter is still holding strong even this late in May.

I agree with you. It's a magical place. I've seen photos of the lake above too.

Awe, I'm so glad you enjoyed my hike. Happy Spring to all of you. Love and miss you.

Awe, you are too kind. I'm glad you've enjoyed them. I believe I do follow you on Alltrails. I certainly read all about your incredible climbs and hikes. I appreciate all the time you put in to detailing your adventures. Can't wait to see where you go this year. Thanks again!😊

You're so welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You are so kind. I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I just might have to try your brand of trail runners too. Have an adventurous summer!😊

Awe. Thanks so much. We'll have lots of new adventures for you, as soon as the snow is gone. The snowpack for northern Colorado this time of year is 150% above normal. We have backpacking trips in the Indian Peaks this summer. New areas we have never been too.

Yikes! I'm glad to hear that you both were OK. I hope you enjoyed your backpacking trek minus the weather. We'll be backpacking the same area this summer. Hope you both have an adventurous summer. 😊

That's going to be a great adventure for you. We also have permits for King Lake. We're going to explore Betty and Bob lakes, some of the tarns in that area and also hike over to the James Peak Wilderness. 2 nights, three days. This video was our first time on the Hessie Trail. Cheers to an amazing 2024!

Thank you so much.

Thanks so much!😊

I know there is a 3 day advanced permit, they begin May 30th. www.recreation.gov/permits/4675319. I hope you get to experience this magical place. You could always get a permit for two days in the Cascade Creek Zone and camp at Pawnee Lake. It's beautiful. You could hike over to Mirror and Crater Lakes the next day. It's only 3 miles one way. www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd993264.pdf The pink area just means no fires. There are openings as of now in August.

Thank you so much. I've admired your style of filming and editing for awhile. Wishing you an amazing year of adventures.

Thank you so much!
