I did this in shorts, shirt, and flip flops in about 50 minutes at 50 y.o. I would say don't dress warm. This hike is a work out, and you will get hot and sweaty even on a cool / cold day. For me, half way up the top and I went shirtless, as I was sweating up a storm.

The microspikes you show at 1:37 don't have any teeth, it is not advised to use those types of microspikes. Ones with 2 cm teeth are far more effective at hiking on hard pack and ice.

If you are going to make an informational video pointing out things like "missing the switchback" show a top down on the map then show an actual shot of the hike where the switch back is.

Hey, do you know if there's cell service along the trail? So, in case of an emergency, is it possible to even call 911 or would you need a garmin device for that matter?

Thank you so much for this comprehensive guide to safety along the HSCT. I've been wanting to do this trail for a long time, but have been curious about the West Lion traverse and reliable water sources along the trail. Well put together video w all the info I have been looking for.

Need multi years of hiking experience to finish this trail and scrambling, I am a solo hiker for over 10 years, never twisted knees or ankles, the more you hiking the less chance you get injured. Just need common sense you can avoid most of hazard may render upon you.

Is there any alternative camping spots prior to magnesia meadows? I read a blog that suggests somewhere before the west lion, but I don't recall this video mentioning anything. I'm planning a 2 night stay on the trail with my second night at Brunswick lake. Any recommendations?

Starting from West Canyon trail is very old information before they built the new bridge on East Canyon Trail across Gold Creek. Starting at Gold Canyon parking lot and taking East Canyon Trail is much shorter and easier.

How do you get there? After the Park entrance will there be a sign for the Gold Canyon parking lot you're talking about? I don't see it labeled on the map
@dtocher
@dtocher 2 жыл бұрын
@@nicholaswronski628 You just drive on the road until the end of it. You cross a bridge over Gold Creek and it is right after that. There are 3 big parking lots joined in a row. The trail up to East Canyon road is from the north east corner of the upper parking lot. Just after you enter that trail, you come to a fork. Stay left. You will get to the road and go left and stay on that to the bridge. You have to be careful that you don't miss the little left turn down to the bridge as it is easy to miss. Especially if you are talking, like I was the first time I went there. There are lots of tracks on AllTrails. Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

East Canyon is slightly easier, as you miss the technical part around the Gold Creek lookout, but it is exactly the same distance and elevation gain to the junction. I prefer the West Canyon for the viewpoint. If you have large packs, maybe the East Canyon is better, but it would be very minor.
