Oh absolutely. The entire family had a tragic end. Graham was so wildly talented and ahead of his time. Thanks for the recommendation!

Interesting take on Graham Parsons in a wild sci-fi tale.

Oh, that looks like a really fun read! Thanks for the recommendation! 💚

@@LodiLeoandLuke Enjoy!

Thank you! Here's to a better 2025!

@@liamariloutenkah8489 Thank you!

Thank you and thanks for watching. We were very lucky to have worked with Torrey Pines on this event.

@@marilynsue4273 the lodge was quite nice!

@@jaymontgomery3330 We love the PNW! Looking forward to returning next fall for an event we are putting on. 👍

@@ervinslens Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

@@ervinslens Thank you & thanks for watching. We are looking forward to returning to Glacier National Park in 2025. 💚

Thank you & thanks fir watching. 😎

@@ervinslens Thank you! Yellowstone is amazing. Have you been?

@@HikingMyFeelings Unfortunately I haven't visited yet.

@@ervinslens it's worth visiting but is very crowded. It's best to go early.

@@_taylor.made_ Indeed!

@@Peregrine_1 we started at Lodgepole and went to Lost Lake, Roaring River, upper Deadman's Canyon, Bear paw (original destination was going to be Tamarack Lake) and then out to Lodgepole.

@@hemtet5500 huh, can't trust anything sources on the internet these days I guess.

@@HikingMyFeelings nope have to crack some of those old fashioned book jobs

Barry's sunglasses are Oakley Batwolf

Thank you, sir! 💚

And, yeah, the soreness will be totally worth it!

💚💚💚

Thank you. Have you been to Sequoia?

@@HikingMyFeelings yes I did the lakes trail a couple years ago and the giant grove trail. I have a video on my channel on the lakes trail

@@thelonehiker4698 awesome. We followed you earlier, we'll check it out! We live in Sequoia National Park for the summer and have some great Sequoia videos coming up!

@@HikingMyFeelings Thanks, I will do the Alta peak as it looks like an underrated trail

@@thelonehiker4698 it's beautiful. The last two miles to the summit is pretty aggressive, but it's worth it. We are thinking about doing it as a full moon night hike.

@@ervinslens Thank you & thanks for watching. 💚

Thank you for the kind words and that's why the Watchtower is one of our favorite hikes in Sequoia National Park. Have you been?

@@ervinslens Thank you! 💚

The whole June Lake/Mammoth Area is stunning. Ever been?

@@HikingMyFeelings No, unfortunately I've never been there.

Well, add it to the list. The whole 395 corridor is spectacular. There are more hot springs than you can shake a stick at too.

Indeed it was. Super unique hike!

Indeed! Stunning.

An ocean actually

@@Skywalker10111 Well, not exactly an "ocean". A "river" (about 300 miles wide at its "mouth", to more than 750 miles wide, in the the "center") flowed out of the "Arctic Ocean", across the Great Plains, from northwestern Alberta, "down" to southern Colorado, where Oklahoma, northeastern New Mexico, and northern Texas come together, today. The region containing the southern US states, eastern Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba and the Cayman Islands, was shoved against ONAC, completing "North America", by scrunching (for the final time) the Colorado Plateau, between ONAC and the "accretionary plate" that stretched from eastern Siberia, town the modern West Coast, to northern Guatemala. It wasn't all that long ago, either.

@@TheAnarchitek Over hundreds of millions of years, this area has undergone some dramatic changes. As the North American continent slowly drifted away from the equator, what is now Canyonlands was flooded by oceans, crisscrossed by rivers, covered in mud and buried. both really

​@@Skywalker10111 Over the last 4.5 billion years, Earth has "undergone -some- MANY dramatic changes". North America did NOT "slowly drift away", because it did not exist as such. FOUR pieces, the ONAC, the Colorado Plateau, the accretionary plate stretching odwn the West Coast, and the southern states/Gulf region came together, about 4,200 years ago. However, Earth looked DRAMATICALLY different, less than ten thousand years ago, and probably less than five, with NO oceans (or, at most, one SMALL one, in the area of the South Pacific, east of New Zealand). What you repeat is "conventional wisdom", and that sad idiom is "usually wrong". Water has washed across almost every square foot of Earth's surface area, including the stretch I mentioned above. This is a discussion requiring more than the space allows, but ask yourself: "Why were the Books of Moses SO IMPORTANT, they were made the foundational books of the Hebrew Bible, almost a thousand years AFTER the events they described (late-17th century BC to mid-7th Century BC)? " "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" is more than a cute Shakespeare quote. Ask people about the "past", before they were born, and you will get a mishmash of ideas, few of which have any relation to reality, especially the further back you go. It's a "human condition", one of many. We are creatures of the Now, and are not really connected to the past, usually. Some people have trouble relating to last week. For that matter, "Why Astrology?" The practice was invented by the Chaldeans, who existed between the 10th Century BC, and the 6th Century BC. What could have caused them to invent a system of plotting the courses of the planets to divine the "future" (or, more accurately, influences on human lives)? Also, WHY does "civilization seem to coalesce, all around the globe, at around the same time, circa the 7th Century BC? The list of people critical to our cultural intelligence start appearing in the mid-7th Century BC: Pittacus 650BC Solon 638BC Thales 624BC Bias c620BC Anaximander c610BC Anarcharsis c610BC Anaximenes c586BC Pythagoras 570BC Xenophanes c570BC Buddha 563BC Simonides 556BC Confucius 551BC Hecataeus c550BC Heraclitus 535BC Aeschylus 525BC Diogenes c520BC Lao-Tse c500BC

Thank you. 💚

Did you manage to try one of the oranges from the orange groves? They we so tasty! That land is special.

@@HikingMyFeelings I remember the orange groves all over Ojai Valley. Such a beautiful place. I used to call it Shangri-La, with the "purple moment" at sunset upon the Topa Topa Mountains. I didn't try the oranges from the orange groves at the JK Foundation. Having lived in SoCal for many years I was treated to delicious, locally grown fruit and vegetables regularly. I remember tasting the seeds from the pepper tree K would meditate under by his home and library . . . :)

Went from Ohio to Ojai in 2011 Dec. Beautiful place. Picked some oranges and pepper.

It really is special.

💚💚💚

Thank you. 💚

I know, right?

You can check out a free chapter and see where you can pick up a copy at hikingmyfeelings.org/hiking-your-feelings-book

As of day two, there are only a few copies left, but Sydney did sign them. 💚

We wish you could be there. 💚

Craig gets it.

Indeed, I do. 😎

Thank you & thanks for watching. 💚

Thank you & thanks for watching!

Yoooooooooo!

We did this hike in early November. I would expect it to be pretty brisk during the month of February. Not sure how much snow they have been getting but I bet the snow would really make Bryce really beautiful. Have a great trip and let us know how it goes!

It's magical! So unique.

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
