Awesome video, I will be taking on TCT with my buddies during the first week of September. We're starting at the Granite Canyon Trailhead and ending at String Lake Trailhead. How would we travel back to our car at the Granite Canyon Trailhead? Are their trams or any forms of transportation?

You should be able to schedule either a taxi Uber lift or some ride share ahead of time with any problems as long as you have a rough day and time to tell them to pick you up.

Great video! How did you like this loop compared to the Teton Crest? We did the Crest a couple years ago and loved it and has been contemplating the Winds vs. the Sawtooths for our next backpacking trip. What are your thoughts! Keep up the great content. Thanks!
@TheOutdoorGypsy
@TheOutdoorGypsy Ай бұрын
Thank ya. I have a slight bias towards the Teton crest trail. Not by much but a little. They’re both AMAZING hikes. Believe it or not I found less people on the Teton trail than the cirque due to the permits limiting people and the camping areas are ever so slightly better. Funny you mention the sawtooth. I will be doing that in 7 weeks. Maybe I’ll see ya there.

Late July. Almost was as bad in Alaska when I lived there. Not quite but close. They were only bad in spots especially around the lakes. Just be prepared. Have nets. Bug spray alone may not be helpful enough. That or wait until late august or September.

How long did it take you to hike this trail? We are coming from Texas. 18 years ago we started this trail and never finished it. About a mile into it I came across a mountain lion and was too scared to finished it so we went back down.
@TheOutdoorGypsy
@TheOutdoorGypsy 2 ай бұрын
Wow that’s a great story. Scary I’m sure but not many see a mountain lion on trail. For me personally it took us about 3.5 hours. It’s very dependent on how fast you hike, your conditioning, and how much you stop along the way for wildflower/wildlife viewing. On the high end it shouldnt take you more than 5 hours.

Thanks for IDing the flowers! I've been using Newcomb's Guide for years. You? A few years ago the rangers warned us to hang our packs on a line between trees as the porcupines where terrible. We did that but I mistakenly left my cork handled trekking pole out and the porkies hammered the cork.
@TheOutdoorGypsy
@TheOutdoorGypsy 3 ай бұрын
My pleasure. My curiosity has gotten the best of me over the years and I thought it’s time for me to ID them. I usually use a cool site called wildflowersearch.org. Can use it all over the states and at different elevation. More recently my iPhone can ID the flowers by looking at the details in the picture. I have to say it does an incredible job so far. Yeah the porcupines, like most animals I’m guessing go after the salt from sweat on the cork. Regardless I’m sure that wasn’t fun.

Here’s a link for the trail head where we started. maps.app.goo.gl/jZjdihEQNUGRUubg9?g_st=ic This will also take you to the ranger station. Talk with the rangers they will help a lot. Tell them what you’re looking to accomplish. Depending where you camp you will need reservations. For us on this trip and where we camped it’s considered the backcountry and you won’t need reservations. Reservations are only need for the popular camps close to the ranger station.

Great job on the video! I attempted this Memorial Day weekend of last year but had to abort at the Washington General Store on day 2. The temps were in the 90s and I had a 40+ lb pack on but my body just couldn't go any further at the time. I had literally lost 17 lbs of water weight on that trek and it was an eye-opener for sure. Needless to say, I will be back at it again here in a couple of months with attempt #2 running a much lighter pack and 40 lbs lighter myself here now as well.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy - You bet and thank you! I completed the NH48 4Ks and I had never experienced such dehydration as I did on this one hike. So, it was pretty brutal but certainly not a technical hike by any stretch by comparison to the Whites. It is a pretty hike, nevertheless, and this was my first attempt at backpacking overnight VS a typical 15-20 miles day hike. I actually didn't show up at the first shelter in Stoddard behind Center Pond until 10:30pm that first night. I think that was about 23 miles in. Then, it was another 14 miles to the Washington Store where I ultimately threw in the towel. I think I would have stayed at the General Washington shelter right there but there was a couple of local guys hanging out having a few beers and I just didn't feel comfortable with it. So, I had my wife drive me home. I will let you know how I make out.

The Dungeness and Tubal Cain trailheads are so close to each other and you pass the former on the way to the latter, makes this an interesting open loop option if you have 2 vehicles. Leave one at the Royal Basin/Dungeness trailhead and continue to Tubal Cain. Head up Tubal Cain and stay wherever you want and then head out the Dungeness. Could even add an extra night or two and stay at Home Lake or Sunnybrook Meadows before heading out the Dungeness. You’d then have a vehicle waiting and a 10 minute drive to pick up the other one.

Love this. I have hiked all over Garden of the Gods in all seasons and it never gets old. From easy trails to the fun climbs. Early morning is definitely a better time to go if you don't like crowds. There are more challenging trails than what was shown here, and you can definitely get your heart rate up. If you really want a challenge, go to the Manitou Incline- It's a beast, but what an accomplishment. I took the Barr Trail down from it and enjoyed everything about it, except for my jelly legs at the end. :) Love this video. It makes me miss home....
