A mountain lake swimming paradise: Blanca Peak

[@hollsee9266]

My eldest brother was a huge hiker and outdoorsman like you. I enjoy watching your videos as it makes me think of him. He passed at age 21. But the hikes he had done and motorcycle trips and pedal bike trips bike packing. You remind me of him. I love it.

[@lifeofluke]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but I'm glad to hear he was an adventurous spirit, and got to experience some beautiful trips by the sound of it. I go to these places because they make me feel most alive, and I'm sure they did the same for your brother too.

[@hollsee9266]

@@lifeofluke they did. He was 9 years older than me. But a huge influence and you remind me of him. It’s nice

Had a good chuckle about the bears smelling the salmon.😊makes you think when sleeping in a tent.😮

[@lifeofluke]

Yep, I was too, but I kept the salmon-scented cookware sunk in the lake so there was no chance of food smells.

[@jagathwal7710]

I hiked up there a couple of years ago. Hope the road hasn't completely deteriorated

[@lifeofluke]

Yeah the road is rooooouuuughhhhh... not nice at all

[@ytubechannel997]

Nice hike!

[@JOJN]

Looks amazing and what an awesome camp spot except for the bugs, they are terrible this year (once again),I feel you.

[@lifeofluke]

I believe it is from the cool and wet June we had, it gave the bugs a super boost for breeding, so their populations exploded!

A sidearm would make backpackers sleep better, but for the crown, bears are more valuable than peasants.
