Backpacking The Maroon Bells Four Pass Loop (This one was TOUGH!!)

I don't think we were fully prepared for quite how hard this hike was 😅
Nonetheless, we spent 3 days in some of Colorado's most beautiful scenery, and had the best time (and some of the worst times) suffering with our friends!
Featuring: @quingable & @fastfamvan who joined us on this adventure (and got the permits... and did all of the planning...)

if that was me my husband would be putting me down for forgetting an ingredient. So cute how he tried to chear you up instead of making you feel worse about it ❤ what a breath of fresh air watching you two interact

[@overwatchxrescue]

The maroon color of the mountains there is really quite something! What amazing views.

[@CarolCox-t9o]

Thanks for making the trip, filming and editing it! Really enjoyed the scenery and all the behind the scenes dinner prep and tent set up. I felt like I was on the trip but without all the hard work.

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thank you for watching the journey! You can count on more dinners showing up, that's an important part of our backpacking trips.

[@markfoxwv]

This trail has been on my list for far too long! I really can't wait to do this!

[@sybillhaley]

You two could not be more adorable. This just makes me want to go on more trips with you ASAP! Also, awesome editing, Kelb!! ❤

[@the_adventureaddicts]

We would be happy to have you on more!

[@Hytteinord]

Great content!!!! 😊

[@juliamazz9123]

It looks beautiful and I love watching your adventures. Thanks to you, I bought a sit pad and love it! I even use it when I kayak for long periods of time. Save my tush and lower back.

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thank you for watching! Aren't they great? We haven't even gone on a short hike without them. The other morning on another trip we woke up to holes in one of ours from a mouse chewing on it, now we make sure they are in the tent with us or inside our packs.

[@haileyfalk1369]

This looks amazing!!!! So much fun :)

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thank you! It was incredible!

[@laurenss91]

You guys are rockin’ the KZbin content!! I love your love for experiencing incredible views and delicious food - this just makes me want to be your friends so badly 😅☺️🍕🏔️🩵

[@lynzag01]

This makes me want to jump in and go on my first backpacking trip, after years of talking about it. Beautiful footage!

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Never a better time to start than right now! You've go this!

[@AdventureOutThere]

Great video guys! We’ve been following your short form content for a while, but like seeing you share this longer form content too. Keep the great vids and inspo coming!! 🍻

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thank you for following along! Hopefully I can get this whole editing thing dialed in so we can post a bit more frequently

[@AdventureOutThere]

@@the_adventureaddicts You’re way further along than most when it comes to editing already!!! You guys definitely have that natural talent for story telling!

[@mattb0123456789]

oooo adding this to the backpacking bucket list!

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Cannot recommend this one enough!

[@TonyBoB911]

I heard of you go to the Maroon bells entrance they have free parking and you have a 2 mile hike to the loop

[@amyrolandi7709]

Love it!

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thanks! More to come

[@sarahseeksadventure]

I want to do this trip so bad, but my body does not have enough of the health! Lol. Thanks for filming and sharing the beauty with us!

[@the_adventureaddicts]

I'm so glad we were able to take you along and share the experience with you!

[@balancedmamabean9068]

Loved following along on this trip. How heavy are your backpacks? I’m totally inspired! Great capture max awesome editing Kelby & Zoe. More please!

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Thank you!! For this trip our packs started out around the 34 lbs. mark and on the last day were closer to 25 lbs.. We could be lighter but we enjoy having the food we like and we had a little climbing gear with us that we didn't end up using

[@ashtenmock7988]

What do you guys use to record and then edit to make these awesome videos?

[@spencerdelgado4188]

Where did you guys park for six dollars a day? Also, what do you advise using to learn about their public transportation? I will solo this trip in three days, two nights at the end of September. Thank you!

[@TheMelvins.]

Do y’all go the clockwise or counter clockwise direction?

[@adeldiosy7084]

Looks like a fun and beautiful trip! Do the back of your heals hurt on decent? I like to wear boots that protects my ankles from twisting accidentally but that’s the downside I find

[@the_adventureaddicts]

We used to wear boots, but have really transitioned to trail runners for pretty much any summer trip! They are just so much lighter and more versatile, and don’t leave our feet feeling sore.

[@caitlinbaird2010]

What permits did you have to get for maroon bells area?

[@haileyfalk1369]

I have also forgotten the cheese on backpacking trips 😂 it’s always so disheartening

[@the_adventureaddicts]

A mistake we never want to make again!
