[@doughutchison6382]

Your choice of music is always so good. It’s so gentle on the mind and goes very well with the scenery.

[@perjrgensen8280]

YES.. :) Greetings from Denmark, Northern Europe, the old Viking country.

[@GaryB94558]

Forests, mountain rivers, Aspen trees and listening to the birds are some of my favorite things. Nature holds the most beautiful things you will ever see. Thank you for sharing

[@barb0138]

I am glad you are back thanks so much for the video

[@allegrabraun7545]

Wonderous! Thank you for the sounds of water, birds chirping the bees buzzing and flowers swaying.and thunder rolling! 💌Thank you💌

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Very enjoyable video Catherine:-)

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Jarl! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@BryanDeLay]

Excellent video Catherine. You captured some fantastic shots and the essence of The Pine River Trail. Your campsite on the last night was my campsite for the first night.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Bryan! That was a great site! All three were for that matter. I’m looking forward to the video of your trip.

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video,beautiful area. Nice job filming this area.

[@johng.4959]

I'm running out of good things to say about your videos! Wonderful photography and sharing such beautiful places. Wow... Just amazing. And nature... rain, wind, hail. I'll take all of it over what is happening in this modern world. God's gift is what I see when I watch your videos. Nature is the cure. Thank you! 👍

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I always appreciate your comments. Thank you!

[@bryanschwertner3585]

Many moons ago (1977) my brother, a few others and I backpacked up the Vallecito trail to Rock Creek trail, over the top to Moon and Half Moon, to Emerald Lake and on to Los Pinos (now called Pine River) trail and out to that trailhead. 5 days Counting 1 layover on Rock Creek. Had a car parked at each trailhead. My most memorable trip! This year my wife and I stayed at 30 mile campground and dayhiked the Weminuche trail a couple miles in. Thanks for jogging my memory! Oh, rain and hail back then. But only 3 or 4 hours once. And back then no dead pines from the pine bark beetle. Thanks again!!!

[@lonanakken1688]

Great video, Catherine. Nice that you were able to wait out the weather and get back on the trail!

[@HikingMan]

It's an honor for me to write the first comment. The thunder is majestic. The wind's nice. The sound of water is pretty, too. I want to go there but it's not easy. But I'm happy to see it on video. Thumbs up!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏!

[@wellsonwheels457]

I really appreciate that you let the sounds of nature come through! Love the bumbles!! 🐝

Catherine, I love watching your videos! You are so down to earth and genuine!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

[@dawnvierra4063]

Transporting us all through your eyes and camera. Wow. It's so breathtaking and I can feel the peacefulness of the wilderness

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

❤️❤️

[@mikeferrannini712]

Beautiful area......trail looks good....the river....and the bridges too. I am a big fan of rain and even the volitale weather...so just love it that the mountains have their own weather agenda......Love seeing the flowers and their colors also. From the perspective of my still being in a virus environment and seeing all this nature...including the bees you showed.....it is just great to see that "nature" has a mind of it's own and going forward as it always has.... thanks.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Nature has no idea what’s going on in the world. It’s as it was and always will be. Perfect. :)

[@mikeferrannini712]

@@CatherineGregoryAdventures .....yes definitely

[@brianthompson-bnew4lifellc332]

This video was extremely soothing and what I needed. I shared it with a few friends that needed the sites and sounds. Omgoodness....and the music! Just wow. Thank you.

[@jaymontgomery3330]

Thanks for sharing Cat, absolutely beautiful country! Arm chair backpacking at it's best!

[@Far-Beyond-Ordinary]

Despite the hardships that nature gave you on this trip, you manage to capture a lot of beauty along the way. Great work and I know it is hard work to capture it and put it together in a viewable format. Thanks so much!

[@Hiker_Mike]

Love the San Juan's, so many beautiful hikes/camps. Beautiful video, thank you.

[@veroniquediallo6055]

Thank you for taking us with you!

[@tsav6952]

Really nice glad it didn't get entirely rained out. Looking forward to the next trail.

[@gingerbread6614]

I can’t say how beautiful that is. Wish we were there. But we can’t do it anymore. So we live thru you. Thank you ever so much.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Catherine, thank you for sharing this very beautifully filmed video. This is just what the doctor ordered, a breakaway to the mountains. All the best to you. Please stay healthy. 🤗

[@bradleyconners5817]

Super great videoing, perfect music to compliment the most beautiful scenery any of the 50 states has to offer. Loved the butterflies, and just walking around the area and waterfalls were a great add to the moment in life.

[@rayleo8520]

Don't you just love the crystal clear water in the high mountain streams. Great content Cat. As usual. Thank you.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Yes, I do. Thank you!

[@Galiuros]

What a beautiful area. The cold misty morning looks great to this desert dweller.

[@skibusch1]

Wow! Another great video, and some nice still shots also!

[@bldfit46]

Your narration is as calming as the scenery.

[@meltcmelinda4012]

Just found you this morning. What a beautiful trip, I so loved the glorious hike, your taste in scenery is beyond most when filming. Cannot wait until I view another. Take Care and God Bless

[@nocturnal7312]

Sitting in my living room Sunday morning sipping my chocolate coffee (Not Joking), I about fell out of my chair when I heard you say that. 1st video of the day is yours, Wow, I use to live in Colorado Springs, I forgot how pretty it is. You wouldn't believe how pretty your videos are with a big screen smart TV streaming through my cell phone. Love your videos, They are very calming in this crazy world we live in, Thanks!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you!

[@richardcarter3406]

Your editing skills are above and beyond,not to mention amazing content. I watch ALOT of travel videos and yours are by far the best! Definitely subscription worthy.Diggin the monogramed cap lol

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Richard!

[@TrailAdventuresTV]

OMG Catherine. I love this episode. The rain, hail, and river made for a peaceful location. This is some of your best work. 5- stars! You had me at Pine River Trail! Hope to see the next video real soon. We will be waiting!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@mojavelight]

What a beautiful trail. Had not heard of this one. Looks like a great one for someone venturing back into backpacking after a few decades away? I enjoy your adventures with your niece. What a special relationship you have 💖 Btw, you inspired me on my tent, pack, and sleep pad choices...easy, cozy, light and comfy! I opted for a 20 degree quilt and a Big Agnes liner which, together are super warm without being heavy to carry and can be used separately for warmer trips. Thanks for generously sharing all your inspiring adventures!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Awe...that is so awesome Diana!

[@SweetTone76]

Thanks for the video, a trail I’ve wanted to back pack for a long time. Safe happy hiking. Colorado is the best 🍻

[@markshelby2141]

Awesome Catherine! I get help getting through the days when I watch my outback friends. As they enjoy places I would rather be. Thank you!

[@leedanielson7452]

Hi Cat! Now this was just beautiful! Loved everything about it, trees, plants, river, waterfalls, great narration & music too! You should be proud! Thanks so much! 🥰👍😊⛰🏕💦🌲🗻🌿🌾🌱🗻

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank YOU Sir!! So glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@Mtnsunshine]

Another quick note....wow! All the images just pop with color and clarity. I've not seen such crisp images anywhere. Absolutely lovely.❤️. Excellent composition, too. Well done. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much!

[@AceLuceroTech]

That's definitely some beautiful country. Great video and thank you.

[@AceLuceroTech]

You are welcome. When it cools off a bit you should come too Prescott Arizona and make some videos hiking our trails. I think you would love it.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Beautiful country. Great, great, great video! Thank you. Blessings

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Betty Jo!

[@BBQDad463]

Beautiful scenery, beautifully recorded. The music was well-chosen. It would appear that the two of you had a great hike together. Thanks for this video! 😎💙💛💚💙💛💚

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏!

[@colinm2056]

You're so blessed to be able to go to these wonderful places, taking us all along. Its so soothing to experience, even if through a screen 100's of miles away, the majesty & magical beauty of the forest, mountains & the river! The rain, living in a country that moves from one drought to the next, what can i truly say about the wonderful rain! Love the crocs too!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏!

[@angelabennett2941]

There is really just something about the mountains, just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I agree!

In spite of all the bad things happening in our world this was indeed a beautiful stunning video.....Wow.

Thank you so much to share all those beautiful and wonderful places with us!!! Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Catherine😊! What a beautiful hike. Your patience was needed at first with terrible weather conditions but you went back and had a great hike. The trail was so peaceful with the stream and beautiful greenery, just SPECTACULAR! I have driven through that area before so I know that you must have enjoyed the ride to get there through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado. Great video Catherine.

[@maryjbelle]

Another beautiful hiking video. The natural beauty...and Cat, that coral blouse 👚 is amazing 😻

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Woo hoo!!! Thank you so much Loran!! I was wondering why you hadn't commented yesterday and I just found it in my spam! :( Argh! Well...thank you for noticing that I hit 30,000!!! Who'd have thought. :)

[@jeffrock1291]

Hi Cat....beautiful backdrop-its nice to see you, doing "your thing".....very calming-Thank you! Safe travels my friend :-)

[@Qmedjoe]

Had a long hard day and just watched a few of your videos fantasizing about the day I can go full time in my rig. I agree with the last statement, the choice of music is perfect. That and the scenery helped me to unwind. Thank you for posting ☺️

[@inkjob12]

Very typical Colorado weather...when I was In the San Juans, 2 years ago in June,...it would be sunny till the afternoon and then the storms would roll in. Rain, thunder and lightning....a normal Colorado day. Love your CAT hat...its you all the way. That Pine River camp site was sweet. I would love to hang to there for a couple of days and get some great fishing in. You passed a LOT of sweet looking fishing water. Thanks for taking along for the trip....Ill need to check out this area for myself. Happy Trails to you and Christine...

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I know fishermen can’t believe I don’t fish these lakes. I hear it all the time. lol I carry enough gear as it is and I don’t eat fish. It would be great if I did to have a fresh meal out there.

[@yvonnewever749]

Great hike! Beautiful nature! Very nice filmed!

[@anthonyspicer874]

This hike is my favorite that you have videoed so far... I've always felt a connection with the Rockies... Thank you for sharing the spectacular scenery with us... Masterfully done👍

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏!

[@jonelliott9627]

Wow ! You absolutely capture the beautiful sights and enchanting sounds of Colorado! Great video. Toes in a creek? Carpe diem !

[@davidskaggs9914]

Another beautiful video. 10 miles is very good distance over those trails, especially when you include setting up and retrieving cameras✌️

[@freddonelson5505]

Great music and stunning shots ... loved the one of the moon and some of your sun in the trees shots. You must love your tent ... looks like it has served you well over the years. Thanks for this one. My daughter that loves to backpack has terminal cancer, and we have had a rough two weeks. This video was just what I needed on this Father's day. Never under estimate the effects of your channel on us as subscribers. Props my friend for posting such wonderful videos year after year.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Fred. I’m so sorry about your daughter. I will keep you both in my prayers.

[@NatureBoy711]

ohhh...... so beautiful! the scenery is similar to central ca/ high sierras but so much greenery! yes, nature will do you good...ahhhh~~~`

[@amranackerman9656]

Green lakes Table Mt Wyoming. A real treat -- looks like a old mideivel castle sitting in a valley of flowers and alpine lakes . The scenery is epic

[@MrMilan187]

another great video!

[@ilsejoyce]

Another beautiful video and music. Colorado is one of my favorite places. Thank you for sharing!

[@meltcmelinda4012]

Love your videos, if I’m having a tough day I just tune in an watch. Calming is the medicine nature provides. I can only imagine what the explorers thought when they saw the gorgeous mountains for they first time. God is an amazing artist and creator. God bless you for sharing

[@DrJohn493]

You couldn’t have picked a better trail than the Los Pinos for getting into the Weminuche for the first time. Did this trail with a side trip to Emereld Lake 10 years ago with a bit of fly fishing thrown in too. Thanks for the memories! Since I’m missing Colorado this summer the next best thing to being there is this video and those to come. Hope you spend all summer seeing all Colorado has to offer 🤞

[@dodgerblue2299]

Great video! Love your positivity and outlook. At 5:37 that is living life!

[@cometsmom8943]

WOW! That was wonderful.

[@ClarySage-70]

Seriously gorgeous scenery ⛰ and a couple of very resilient women! ❤️

[@mikesheppard7483]

WOW, ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO !!! 😊 I think I'm speaking for all of your viewers here, you're making us all jealous... 😁😁😁

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Great to see you and Christine hiking together ,, beautiful wilderness ,,so much peace.... .... Stay Safe and God Bless ......

[@blakemiller138]

Such great photography and the music is perfect. Thank you.

[@johnpinckney4979]

Amazing! Simply amazing!!! You and Christine make that trail look so easy. As for the weather, that's another part of God's artistry that you captured and shared so beautifully! My God, this is your best video yet. Many thanks for brightening-up my otherwise solo Father's Day. I had breakfast while watching this!, LOL! (If I had a channel, perhaps I could call it, "This Ham Cooks"!) You really, seriously, need to exp;lore (Intentional bad pun!) additional venues for the exposure of your talent. Not just for the $$$$, but because for it not to be on PBS, Discovery, etc., is depriving so many of your talent. I pray that God shall continue to Bless, Guard, Protect and Bring Joy to you!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind feedback!

[@jim5549]

I bet sleeping was great with the sound of the river so close. Very pretty place.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Definitely!

[@jeffnotti9932]

WHOA.. NICE.. i bet the fly fishing on that river is awesome... Love the sound.. Cooool majestic track with a good amount of underlying sound from the clip to keep context very nicely done Mmm ahhhhh Cat Diesel hat every trucker has to have a Cat hat... LOL wait wait don't tell me i got it "the Cat in the Hat"!! Love it so @4:24 looks like a fly fishing hot spot for sure.. Looks like a place you would find Lee and Joan Wulf. What adventure .. what peace... @7:02 in the back ground is a washed out hill sied.. there is one of those 30 yard from my desk with a perfect view as i watch you.. Inreach?? wow well prepared.. WHOA again @11:48 - 12 what a landscape.. it is hard to leave a place like that.. @14:23 MAGIC!! i think as a hoot i am gonna start counting the hats... @18:38 no i dont think it is "The End" it is more like "Its really To Be Continued" .. maybe ind very small print in parenthesis under... Beautiful again.. Brilliant, well done... J

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Jeff! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and even using time stamps. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I like this one too!

[@Mtnsunshine]

What gorgeous scenery. 😍. I live in central Colorado but have never heard of the Pine River Trail. Will definitely put it into my AllTrails app and mark it for the future. Thank you so much for making us aware of places we would not have found on our own . Great to see you both, again. Hopefully the PCT will open up again and Christine will be on it. 🙏🏼. Her photography skills, like yours, are such a gift to us. Thank you. 💕🙏🏼👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Karen! I don’t think the PCT is in the cards for Christine this year. Selfishly, it’s a good thing for me because we will be on lots of adventures together this summer.

[@BackcountryTreks]

Great video! Beautiful area to hike. I had the privilege of doing a trip there last year. We hiked up to Emerald Lake. Epic!

[@bgulli7814]

Nice job of capturing you're journey. The Weminuche is my favorite wilderness to hang out in.

[@bill13900]

Your videos are beautiful and this one in particular. Great selection of music to go along with it too.

[@kirkrasmussen9629]

Catherine - great video! You camped in my campsite your first night! My son and I camped in that exact spot back in 2017 when I took him on a backpacking trip up to Emerald Lake. Yes - we did get some moisture last week in CO that would not have been fun in the backcountry!

[@liziellangston5586]

Another beautiful video with stunning scenery. I truly appreciate the content you create and share, masterfully done. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

How awesome to hike in the San Juan’s! Colorado is stunningly beautiful. But very unpredictable weather for sure. Thanks for posting your adventure. I want to go out there some day

[@joharmon2148]

OMW! Everytime I think you have posted the most beautiful place you post another beautiful place. The falls coming down off that huge mountain was breathtaking. You had to fight some elements on this one but you didn't give up and went right back out there until you conquerored your mission.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Jo!
