Bison Peak - Colorado 12er Dayhike

[@jimgoebel5348]

Wait.. 400 foot fall? Holy crap!

[@FoorTrek]

Afraid so. I've talked a lot about it on my instagram and twitter channels. I used the proper gear, techniques, and still screwed up. I will tell you my doctor saw my bruises and said, "I've never seen anything like it". My response: "Well, that's reassuring."

@@FoorTrek I haven't been keeping up on social media other than facebook lately. Too much craziness these days, and truth be told, I stopped facebook for a while. Still, I'm glad you're OK! A few years ago, I had my whole right foot rebuilt. During consultation, doc took an X-ray and told me "Your foot is MESSED UP!" (It was because of a birth defect)

@@FoorTrek wow glad you are ok!!// as if the stuff with mom wasnt enough/ so sorry

[@jimgoebel5348]

I just went through the tweets. I do recall seeing that now. I am an idiot!

Thank you James! It's GOOD to be back. :-)

Dear Dr. Foor, You are definitely my favorite hiking professor ! My most sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. Mothers are truly unique and irreplaceable ! Mine is still around, and she lives with me. I am grateful for each day I see her. I am surely glad you survived the fall. You made an amazing recovery !

[@FoorTrek]

Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@russlehman2070]

The Lost Creek Wilderness, especially the Tarryall range and the Lost Creek / Goose Creek drainage is one of my favorite places in Colorado.

[@elaineharris5867]

Our condolences on the loss of your Mom. Glad to see you're healthy from your fall and happy your pathology report came back good.

[@FoorTrek]

Thank you Elaine. You only ever get one mother and I was there for her, everyday, because I chose to. :-)

[@Go_Ahead_Now]

For an Ohioan who will be doing this hike next summer (thanks to watching your Bison Peak videos), do you have any tips and/or recommendations for a flatlander doing this hike?

[@FoorTrek]

Trail is well marked. There's only so much training you can do regarding the elevation. A healthy diet is the best start.

[@potatothorn]

love the big flat area up there, and super beautiful "run" thru the forest on the way down. thanks for the great message at the end glad you are hanging in there

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Going to have to put that on my list of peaks to do, looks like a good early season hike. Thanks for sharing.

[@FoorTrek]

Anytime of year kind of hike if you enjoy snowshoeing.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

@@FoorTrek Never been on snowshoes just a little hiking on patchy moderate snow.

[@bmtrueblood]

Welcome back!

[@TheMrsKKB]

So good to see you back Brandon!!! Thanks for another wonderful video. You are so right .... be kind to each other and appreciate what you have! I've been enjoying the AZ high country and trying to make slow but steady progress on day hiking the AZT. Take care and looking forward to more videos :)))

[@MrJoeTheShow23]

Can't wait for 14er season!! Lots of us living vicariously through these videos, more so this year than the past! stay safe and healthy!

[@jeremyhuggins8796]

Nice video, almost like being there. 👍

[@94jettameowpsst]

So I just hiked this today, I’m from PA. How in the hell did you summit this so fast?!? This whole damn hike was brutal. Granted I had a 3 yr old in a carry pack but even if we didn’t stop so many times I can’t imagine doing this less than 3-4hrs

[@FoorTrek]

Congrats on the hike. It's steep. Real steep, but it's still a trail and I can simply move fast from training on this, especially doing technical bouldering hikes. I LOVE PA!

[@stanbono2103]

Awesome to see you back on the trail, always enjoy your vids! Added this one to my “to do list”. My motorcycling/hiking trip is coming together nicely.

[@jaydub5011]

Leaving in 12 hrs for this destination

[@natertots17]

Sorry to hear about your fall, that’s scary stuff, glad you’re back at it. I look forward to one day meeting my favorite hiking professor on the mountain

[@jimgoebel5348]

I was hoping to see a new video from you!

[@KartsHuseonica]

You're ready!

[@FoorTrek]

I'm following your lead Karts!

[@J2415J]

Where did you start? Trail guides that start at Lost Park Road all show about 2700’ in elevation not 3700’.

[@J2415J]

Ahhh just made it to the end of video. Ute Creek… 😀

[@FoorTrek]

Hi Josh! I love hiking Bison. Such a wonderful adventure everytime.

[@jaydub5011]

[@nmgaucho]
