@@DavidonEarth Yes and yes lol. I parked at Sylvan Lake, I think it was $20 something like that, and hiked counterclockwise. For water, I started with three liters, topped off along the grizzly bear creek trail for night one. Second day I filled up four liters at Horsethief Lake that lasted me all that day, camp on Harney Trail before Black Elk, and the morning hiking out. That was my largest and longest water carry. I was in the bubble of a strong heat wave when I did the loop. If you have any more questions hit me up. Hope y’all have a good trip.

Hey man great video! Beautiful! My fam and I will likely be there in (unfortunately) August. And we want to do a nice multiday backpack trip like you. We are considering what you did or similar. But would need more time to complete. Taking it easy and maybe only doing 8-10 miles max a day, how long might this be? Do you think there are camping spots easy enough to find doing it this way? What spots would be best if we also wanted to use a camp spot as a couple-of-day layover to do some side quest explorations? And do you recommend other hikes or versions of this hike? I suppose we could spend 4-7 days if we can bring enuf food and find enough water. Thanks for any help?

Great Video! We live close by RMNP and hike, backpack there often. I already have over 250 miles this year in RMNP. Lots of snow this year with our snow pack at 140% of average. You were right about the Thunder Lake trail, first one, it takes you by the lower Wild Basin campsites and heads straight to Thunder Lake. Backpacked there last year. The second junction trail also will reconnect you to the first trail. It's a beautiful lake with many other lakes beyond, Box Lake, Eagle Lake, Falcon Lake, there is no trail to this one but you can easily route find, also The Lake of Many Winds. You made the right decision not to cross that snowfield around Bluebird Lake. Snow is "Rotten" this time of year. It can be hollow underneath. Love your video on the Four Pass Loop. It's our favorite.
