[@hikingmule]

Fantastic area and I cannot wait to check it out this year! Thanks for sharing your experience, especially the breakdown at the end.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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

Thank you for this brought back memories of my hike in 2023 We did 3 day Started Day 1-Taggart Lake Trailhead to Philps Lake, Day 2-Philps Lake to Death Canyon Shelf, Day 3-Death Canyon Shelf to Sunset Lake, Day 4- Sunset Lake to Jenny Lake. The views were Epic we did get Rain and there was climbing Hurrican Pass but once up there the clouds broke for awesome views as we descended. Over all the Best trip I have had to date.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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

[@AdventuresoftheLandNorth]

Some great shots in this video. Looks like a hike that needs to be added to the list.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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

[@AbelTravel]

Greatly enjoyed this video immensely especially the wildflower id at end. Thanks.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

Thank you 😊

Like 58, Great impressive footage capturing the beautiful scenery as the awesome gift of the mother nature, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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

[@tristramstout8988]

I just found this video and it’s very informative. Thank you.

[@stepsforthesoul]

Good stuff brotha! Incredible country

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

Literally the best.

[@TheQRX3816]

Love the video! Absolutely beautiful. I'm going there this August. Can't wait!

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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

[@OutsideComfortZone]

Really great video, OG! I loved the recap at the end--such a great way to sum it all up.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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!!

[@Aurapun]

Amazing work man! Love this video, keep 'em coming. 🙏🏽👌🏽

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

Appreciate it man. I sure will. Should be having one on the wind river range out in a few weeks.

[@carolemariol5706]

Absolutely beautiful! I’d love to do it but would be terrified of grizzly encounters. Thanks for sharing for those of us that can’t or won’t.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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 😊)

[@philiphayes4283]

Thank you for the day by day breakdown.

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

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]

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.

[@Masada11]

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?

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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.

[@ScottHaun]

beautiful! what month did you go? I was supposed to go last last month with my son but we had to revise our plans because of the snow at elevation. your video makes me want to go back and complete the TCT.

[@ScottHaun]

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

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

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.

[@ScottHaun]

@@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.

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

& always remember, too give the criders plenty of space 😊

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

Always. I am very respectful of nature.

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

Back in the 70s, there was much more snow ❄️ in the mountains of Wyoming 😢

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

I can imagine what things used to be like.

[@jonathsk]

Going in a couple weeks. Does anyone have any contacts to any local/private shuttle services in the area?

[@danwagner5524]

I wonder how you enjoyed this hike when you were constantly videoing it. Kinda takes away from what it's about.

[@TheOutdoorGypsy]

@@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.
