@@SDSsongs very true. But in some ways that’s what makes it an adventure. At least they warn you it’s tertiary trails.

@@vin374 amen. They’re intense

@@vin374 oh I sure was. Pushed the envelope but so worth it.

@@jonhall398 number one trip I’ve done as well. It’s going to be a hard one to top. Patagonia 🤔

@@danwagner5524 I’ve filmed hikes for so long that I know how to enjoy it while still filming. I don’t film as much as you would think.

@@Alekz1024 thanks buddy! It was a great trip. Glad you enjoyed as well.

😆. It’s relative. I’ve done some intense backpacking and hiking so I would say challenging but not ridiculous. The killer in coe is the temps.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy I have not hiked at Coe, i have ridden mountain bikes, I will say that I went slowly but was a hero when my mates found out that I brought 18 sixteen ounce Oranjeboom beers.

@@DGOODWIN19 😂. I bet you were. You should’ve been canonized.

You are right But Wind River still attracts me very strongly every summer

found the answer during the recap at the end...

We did it in middle august. There was snow last year for quite a while too so we specifically planned around that and august is usually the month. I hope you and your son get to complete it. It’s my favorite trip to date and I’ve been on a lot.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy we spent two nights at the north fork group site via cascade canyon and made it partially to hurricane before the route got a little sketchy. The next day we went to lake solitude before leaving the park.

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.

Much love. Ty

You will NOT be disappointed. Take it in every footstep at a time. Magical place.

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.

Great. Thanks! Have a great trip!

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.

Nope. This is in the wilderness so no tags needed in this area. Just pack your bag drive to the trail head and away you go.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy I'm assuming the tag was to identify pack's owner and emergency contact info?

Correct

Thank ya kindly. Means more coming from another content creator like yourself. Last several are good. Go way back and they get a little rough. Been trying to refine my channel and the camera work.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy I know the feeling! I'm embarrassed to watch my first ones (and occasionally even my recent ones)! It's part of the process, I try and remind myself. Glad to connect with you. Good luck and keep 'em coming.

Likewise.

Literally the best.

Awesome!! It’s such a great place especially this weekend. Enjoy whatever version you do!!!

I appreciate the feedback. I debate going without music all the time. One of these videos I might give it a try. Would make my life much easier.

Much love khurshid 🙇‍♂️. Ty

Incredibly beautiful. Parts of the winds are EXTREMELY remote with crazy solitude. Others like this hike are quite crowded. But, if you’re willing to go to the lakes without the glitz and glamor you can still find relative solitude.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy It's become very crowded over the years due to videos like this. The trailhead now resembles that of a rock concert.

It takes longer to get to the Cirque, but go in from the Lander side. Much less crowded until you get the around the Cirque of the towers/Lizard Head .

You’re not wrong.

Much love felt. Thank ya kindly. Takes many hours to put these together so I hope it helps at least a handful of people.

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.

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.

@@TheOutdoorGypsy thank you 😊

Btw - Your feedback was pretty much spot on.

Respect for knowing to quit. Some many don’t and get into deep trouble. I cant imagine doing this with 90 degrees. Especially east coast 90 degrees. Hopefully round 2 is s a success. Post a messge here when you complete it.

@@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.

I think this trail could greatly benefit of better spaced lean to’s or at least a few more spots to camp ⛺️. Good luck 👍

@@TheOutdoorGypsy Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I DID complete the trail last weekend in 3 days NOBO. I stayed the first night at the Spiltoir Shelter, the second at the Fox Brook Tentsite and then I wrapped up about half the trail on Day 3 to the summit of Sunapee. It was a great hike for me.

Much gratitude 🙏

I can see your perspective but beauty is also in the eye of the beholder. Some people might like those views better than north dome. I personally think they’re both gorgeous in their own right.

One of my most memorable moments on any trail.

Much love. They take a lot of work.

Always. I am very respectful of nature.

I can imagine what things used to be like.

Much love. It should be in your top 3 list IMO.

Thank you 😊

Much love OCZ. I love seeing what people think of trails when they hike them and the reasons why, so just piggy-backing off of others. Happy trails!!

Thanks man. I try my best so hopefully I did it a tiny bit justice.

Indeed it was. So many people are afraid of bear. As someone who has spent many days and miles in the backcountry I’ve never once had a problem with a bear and I’ve had over a dozen encounters. Don’t let this deter you from such exquisite adventure. They are way more afraid of you than you realize (my pep talk 😊)

You will not be disappointed. I’ve seen a lot of this country. It is incredible in GTNP
