This hike is beautiful. Hope we could do the rim to rim next time.

@@martinforrester8249 Hi Martin, I agree. I would love to use hiking poles, unfortunately as the camera bearer it would prevent me from doing so. I cradle the camera/tripod the whole trip as can be seen as we were ascending. One of the few times my wife filmed me behind the scenes. Thank you for watching. Appreciate someone take the time to watch our videos.

​@FirstHandExplore I liked the look of your rucksacks, what make are they please ? (Although eighty, I still hike and climb.)

@@martinforrester8249Hi Martin. I bought my backpack at REI years back. It is a yosemite 75liter. I wish we could still backpack when we reach your age. Stay fit my friend.

@@lindathanh5528 Unfortunately yorts don’t have restrooms. You’ll have to use the campground restrooms.

@@richardhitt779 Thank you.

@@hikewithmike4673 One of our memorable hikes. 🙂

It was mid october. We got lucky and arrived there when the colors were at its peak.

Hope you guys are alright.

Are you staying overnight? We parked in a garage walking distance from yankee freedom ferry. Forgot the price. Parking in the area is about the same. I think it was the city of key west old town garage. Check out the current pricing.

@@FirstHandExplore I'll be camping 2 nights. I've read in gmap that it's $40. I thought maybe you parked somewhere cheaper. Looks like you had fun. Can't wait to go there! Thanks for the info!

@@iknowbinary We would have stayed 2 nights but the ferry was fully booked on that return date. Yes, the parking is expensive but the experience of camping in the middle of the sea is truly worth it. Just don’t be alarmed of any immigrant landing at night like I did. Hehe

The most eerie game I ever played. Still haunts me today.

I didn’ know about that. St francis ra. Hehe

Vin, We bought those chairs from REI. They are the REI brands which cost around $100. They are light weight and cheaper than other brands.

Thank you

Thank you for watching. SLIDE ON ME by zorro. Its from epidemic sound

Thank you Jason.

Thank you.

Thank you. And thank you for watching.

It is cool. One of the best hikes we’ve ever experienced.

Hi. Thank you for watching. This is a bucketlist hike. We are glad we did it while we still can. My knees only hurt the first day going downhill with all that weight on my pack. There are no bridges as the Tonto trail goes along the colorado river and not across it. Other videos you watched are probably the RIM to RIM trail which is also great but crowded. If you plan to camp in the Grand Canyon you need to apply for permit. A lot of hikers do the RIM to RIM trail as a day hike to prevent getting camping permit thus it is crowded.

@@FirstHandExplore you are very lucky since you visited grand canyon.I hope that God will help me also to visit and hike this unique wonder 💖💖💖

@@ΡοδανθηΠαπαευστρατίου I do hope you visit it someday. It is really unique and one of God’s gift for us to enjoy.

Thanks Christopher. It was a struggle setting up that tent when we’re hungry and hands freezing from the cold wind. We were the only ones fool enough to camp that night😂

Hi Benjamincanty354. It was last March. Springtime.

That is a beautiful place to camp. Enjoy every moment of it.❤️

Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Hi Jeff. Yes, it was an amazing hike. A bucket list hike. We did see a few hikers with daypacks. You must be very fit to hike it in a day. Our concern was just the water source or lack of it.

Thanks. Low elevation lang sa. Maybe beach camping.

Thanks. Low elevation lang sa. Maybe beach camping.

Thank you PidasianHippie. We also don’t understand the youtube algorithm. But the outdoors is something my wife and I have in common. As long as we still enjoy what we are doing, we are gonna share it with you guys in the community. Thank you for watching. Your comment means a lot to us.

You are welcome. I’m glad you guys find it informative. Thank you for watching.

I believe this is one of the must hikes in a lifetime. I also believe it doesn’t have to be several miles. Hiking down bright angel and staying at the Indian garden or one of the campsites near the colorado river is full filling enough. Hope you try it in this lifetime.

You can do it in your lifetime I'm 70 and hiking the entire length of the Tonto Trail is one the treks I have on my GC hiking resume 3.5 years ago I got sick ; stroke , cancer ,a-fib , aortic valve replacement November of '94 I'm returning to the Canyon and my "it's good to be back " hike will be; Down the BA>Tonto East to Hance Rapids> Escalante Route to Tanner > Beamer to the Confluence >Out via the the Tanner with a dry camp on the saddle between Escalante and Cardenas Buttes

Thank you guys.

Mao gyud. Usa ra, tambok pagyud.

Thanks kya.

Hi William. When we were kids, my brothers and I always compete who gets to have the only pork every time we open a can of pork and beans. Somehow this meal bring back memories. Thank you for the recommendation. We’ll look into it and thank you for watching.

Thank you ExpeditionaryJonny. Wish we have the same changing of colors like you have there in the north. It is beautiful.

Thank you for this comment and thank you for watching. It means a lot to us.

We love this hike. The weather was just perfect. One of my most favorite hike. Thank you for watching.

Yes, we tried dehydrated food for awhile kaso lang hindi talaga fullfilling pagdating sa campsite.

@@FirstHandExploreTrue! Btw, I didn't see how you stored your foods and scented items. Are there any bear lockers in all campsites? Or did you need to hang them in some campsites?

@@iknowbinary We hang our food on a tree. There are no bears on the island. Worst case are racoons or horses stealing your food.

Yes, dog island was just across the water at the end of our hike. It’ll be awesome to visit there one day. Thank you for the recommendation and thank you for watching.

Thank you Sir and thank you for watching!

Hi, how was the timberline trail? Did you guys had a good weather? Were the water crossings deep? Yes. Cirque of the towers has its own beauty and no permits required just a log book just like timberline trail. And be prepared with the altitude effects. Thank you for watching.

@@FirstHandExplore the Timberline trail was great! I went solo, had perfect weather, the water crossings were difficult and numerous, yet manageable. I was surprised by just how generally hard the trail was though. More elevation gain and loss than I had expected. In terms of difficulty, how would you say the Cirque compares?

@@papertiger795 Cirque of the Towers is not as bad as Timberline. The distance is just half of timberline and elevation gain is about 4000 ft. What we’re worried about is the altitude. We did prepare for it a month physically. We also requested altitude sickness medicine from our doctor. We tried it days before but the effect was it let us pee a lot😆. We ended up not using it unless we need to. All in all it was just exhausting as Timberline due to altitude effect.

@@FirstHandExplore good to know. When I did the Tahoe rim trail, my ears started ringing for an entire day at around 7700ft. I felt miserable for a day or two. The trail eventually went to 10300ft, but by then I was acclimated. I'll have to factor in a day or two at altitude before I start. Like you, I'm a Floridian. My home is at 16ft

They’re in the 70’s fahrenheit. Just about the right temperature for backpacking. Mosquitoes are a nuisance though. Hehe

Thanks Michael and thank you for watching. Appreciate it a lot.

Thank you! And thank you for watching.
