Day 58 | Sierra: Forester Pass, The Most Epic Day of my Life | Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hike

[@davidpiper2324]

Road Runner, I was in the group behind you and I am so thankful that you did such a wonderful job capturing the experience. One Track

[@tresannrn8454]

That is sweet!!

[@memathews]

All the best on your hike!

[@ronr3656]

The girl who wouldn't make it 2 weeks on the AT keeps on truckin' over Forrester Pass. You go!

[@blairpoisson6474]

The red light and music gave me goosebumps! The score changes everything. Very dramatic and exciting!

[@jillvanbodegom-smith8461]

This one got me choked up! A stunner of a day!!! I just keep thinking how few people get to do that, see that country, etc

[@Bergur.Palsson]

The music, the red light, the grit, rhe fellowship, the weather and nature. Great vid. Thanks for sharing

[@KenConnolly-po2dz]

Look at that smile. Your happiness is contagious!

[@scotbotvideos]

Best personality of any of the thruhikers.

[@MJG70]

I agree! That smile, her courage and her unique accent. Does it get any better

[@amerphoto1]

Roadrunner, this is the most beautiful video you have made to date!

[@tresannrn8454]

So proud of you Roadrunner. Who says Florida Gals can’t hike the Sierra Mountains. Super sweet video. One to cherish for sure!!✌️🙂❤️Major shoutout!!✌️

[@musingwithreba9667]

I am so happy for you that you decided to do the Sierra now, and safely got through Forester Pass! You go gurl! 💪 The music accompaniment was spot on, bravo! 👏

[@avghiker]

Love the music choices. Nice job on Forrester! 🙂

[@larkangel6593]

Quick PSA: it's not Forrester, as in run Forrest, run. It's Forester, as in Forest service, since a ranger discovered the route for a possible engineered pass. (The original JMT had slight detours/work arounds for both Forester and Mather. They're steep because they were literally blasted out of granite cliffs.) RR, glad you caught it epic; the Sierra become a lifelong addiction for many.

[@memathews]

Thanks for the quick history on this, adds great context 😊

[@three-cats-photography]

Woohoo! I've never been up there myself, and every time I see video of Forrest Pass I just can't believe there's a trail up that vertical wall.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Today’s video and today’s accomplishments illustrates that you are with the right people at the right time! This team did an excellent job and I some proud of and happy for all of you. Somewhere was a great addition and I’m glad she was with this group for this epic day. We knew she would probably move on, but it was nice to have her here for a while!

[@lewisleake9902]

Epic is an understatement. Wish I could have been there. Safe hiking to all.

[@johnshaide6954]

Epic indeed Roadrunner! Early morning mountaineering at it's best, happy hikers having the time of their lives. I am very happy for and so proud of the entire team!

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Wow the music was fantastic I was so nervous watching! Y’all experienced climbing and viewing a place where most people dream of! It was amazing 🤩 Thank you again for filming your epic journey ❤

[@all-to-Him-I-owe100]

Wow!!! So beautiful and the music was perfect! 🙏🏻🤗❤️ Y’all did so great!! All I can hear is “Praise God from whom all blessings flow!”

[@charliestewart7585]

This is why we watch your channel!

[@T_Mo271]

The side trip to town via Kearsarge Pass is always a difficult decision - the out and back miles (and altitude) is a full day all by itself. But staying on the PCT, it's a long way (and three more passes) to the next exit.

[@elizabethcoates3916]

Wow you all are amazing, what a hike. You all should feel very proud. That was something there are no words. Enjoy your zero, you have earned it. Keep on keepin on!

[@cavemandancer]

Such an amazing job...you all are really are doing it, acomplishing your hike... Positive, energetic,incouraging...just an epic day, congrats.

[@robertbarnes4]

Congrats. A day you will never forget. EPIC !!

[@philipyoho8115]

Wow! Great job getting over Forrester. Way to go Somewhere! Great job all around. Yes, RR, respect those "river crossings". Safe travels and happy trails. Bye, Somewhere. Be safe!

[@sugarstick6990]

Kudos Roadrunner. You’re very impressive.🎉

[@russellzauner]

Rope is 100% a thing and you'll really want one when you get to Oregon... :-)

[@tmorton135]

FANTASTIC choice of music for this epic episode!!!

[@user-lp5tt9sk3q]

Well done ROADRUNNER!!!!

[@chuckdenham126]

You outdid yourself today! Incredible video and sound !! The adventure continues. We all will miss Somewhere. Maybe you will re-connect at a later date.

[@wanttogo1958]

Beautifully filmed and done. Epic day! Crazy miles too! Way to go!

[@allens-place]

OMG, what an amazing section of the trail. Extreme hiking at it's best! Congratulations to you all for making safely and sharing with us.

[@lanaholmes3327]

I have watched quite a few Forester pass summits on others channels but really felt like I went along on yours! Thanks! BTW music was stellar!

[@shawntatro8681]

4:59 that is F’ing EPIC!

[@trexinvert]

Crampons cramping. Nice music and scenery.

[@tammyjarvis3699]

I’ve been quietly following along but I just have to say I can imagine what an epic day it was because it was an epic episode! I have been filling Oct hikers for about 4 years now and this I think was the best glimpse of what it must really be like to do forester! Well done!

[@susietopspin]

Wow. So cool. Congrats on completing Forrester Pass. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

[@animature4929]

This music was amazing.

[@TallBirdAcresHomestead]

Absolutely beautiful wow!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThanatosWings]

The music tho! Ha ha ha. Love it!

[@matthansen5337]

Beautiful weather for that part of your hike! I'm imagining how brutal and horrible and difficult that area could be in stormy weather!

[@tujungadave]

Great choice of music for this episode. I kept thinking a Yeti was going to jump out and attack you all. 🙂

[@yolandarocha4900]

Awesome Awesome !!! Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations.

[@CarolottaTBird]

Incredible, great job you crushed it.

[@seanodom1676]

Awesome day for you guys. Love videos. Keep em coming. Cheers !

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

You have done well to film as much of that difficult route as you did.

[@thuthiehiker]

No words needed. 😊

[@lauriejorgensen3692]

The hike, the music…epic!!!

[@TheChantybb]

Wow it look like you are going to Mount Everest or somewhere around there! So beautiful! 😍 loved the music!

[@wanderingwithbob2472]

The pass and the snow fields were epic. You guys really made it look easy. Happy trails..

[@Pokey-vq4kn]

Congratulations on completing Forester PASS..

[@cjengland2365]

Hiking that terrain in the dark just scares the crap out of me. Of course the dramatic music didn't help my nerves much. 🤣

[@gregharmon3797]

Amazing

[@susanmilam2346]

That was amazing!! Stunning landscape and perfect music to accompany your vlogging. You guys definitely deserve a zero tomorrow. Well done!

[@PokerNBilliards]

Big days, big stays!

[@donnacarver5181]

Well that was scary! Y’all rock!

[@TheGrandmateresa]

Everything haas been said in previous comments, epic day, music perfect for this video. Congratulations. You are all AMAZING.

[@anitamckenzie4895]

Great video,Loved the dramatic music!! Nice touch!!

[@bethhodges2014]

Great video, loved your soundtrack hope you had a great zero you guys certainly deserved it. Last year some of the rivers still had snow bridges over them. The cold water helps with inflammation. 👻

[@sharonbabineau528]

Beautiful!! You are a bada$$! 💪

[@tandyjenkins7495]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Annette-us8yc]

Roadrunner!! Thst was epic!!! Fantastic video! As an avid hiker that climb was scary!! Way to go!!!

[@jodigreanead7315]

Stunning👏🏼

[@hops4305]

Damn!! And awesome!! Looks amazing!!

[@worthtech3249]

Wow...what a vid....great job...thanks for taking us along....two passes in one day!

[@JamesHunter55]

Youz guys are super heros!!

[@patriciaheflin4518]

Excellent music choices! Long day. Enjoy your zero. Happy trails! 👣

[@mars_hikes967]

Glad you enjoy it but the most epic day of your life? Maybe so far, I hope that you have a lot of days of similar epicness in the future! Muir pass is also quite fascinating.

[@paisleyfamily5972]

Oh and funny story on the north side of Forester I was bouldering around some snow patches and felt my hand touch something gooey and brown on the rock. At first I thought it was poop. Thank God it turned out to be peanut butter

[@fattatter]

completely awesome!!

[@MJG70]

Epic!

[@memathews]

Good hike crossing both Forester and Kearsarge in one day. Starting early makes the snow a not easier/safer, but that's still a long trek over two big passes. You did great at elevation, too, that's tough. I'm sorry to see Somewhere push ahead Solo, but she seems well-prepared (mountaineering gaiters, MSR XGK stove(?)) and will probably find other groups for river-crossing safety. A little rest and recharge probably felt good for your group after this piece of trail.

[@ericgamble9153]

Wow. Incredible. Truly epic!

[@kohno214]

Epic climb right there.

[@debbieclinard7122]

I have been on Forrester twice in the summer but not in those conditions. Congratulations! Hard work and sketchy terrain.

[@jellybeanhikes9581]

One of the guys i hiked around carried a plastic sled and went down from there his trail name cool runnings

[@sharrison3974]

Epic night and day of hiking! Thanks for sharing the beautiful mountain scenery.

[@judygoode5866]

Wow! That’s amazing! Mt Everest next😂😂! Love the pictures you did an amazing job filming !!!!

[@luisahirsch5654]

Wow! What an incredible memorable day for sure! Love your music choices for this video! I felt like I was watching a movie! So proud of your accomplishments! You go girl!

[@robbrandtBSA]

That was epic. Great music choices.

[@conniesulse7014]

Love the music❤

[@Pokey-vq4kn]

Great serious face photo.

[@alfredlangley6899]

Wow! Just amazing!

[@seansmith1422]

Congratulations to your whole tramily 😊

[@carstenbeinecke5493]

This looks quite different than hiking up in October. There was no snow and a nice trail.

[@leahalonso2392]

Absolutely Gorgeous!! I can only imagine what it was like in person. The music was perfect!! Thanks for sharing.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... A strong day for sure ... enjoyed the silhouette of the mountain range with choice background music .. Stay Safe ...

[@NeilBuckley-wp1mk]

If you all can do what you did today you can do anything!

[@BReno-mm3if]

Ooooh how exciting! Actually liked the choice in music for the night hike.

[@jilltaylor4932]

The music gave me goosebumps, as did those views. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@linzyzz1]

Goosebumps!!!

[@HikeMichigan]

You are doing such a great job capturing this journey! Great video!

[@stevenvarner9806]

A piece of advice from experience... don't carry your boots in your hand when crossing a stream. If you fall, it's very likely you'll lose them to the flow and they will disappear very fast. Then you're f'ed. Either attach put them in the pack, or if the stream is small enough, throw them far across.

[@jpsousa4]

I think on the pct you need to resist the idea of blue blazing being a thing. The pct goes over a lot of rugged terrain, and closed sections of trail for various reasons. You're still walking that connected footpath from Mexico to Canada, and you will almost certainly need to divert off the trail for this in the next couple of months.

[@jameshoneycutt7602]

Excellent video

[@judithpearson3968]

Good morning, Julianne. Congrats on doing Forester Pass and Kearsage Pass. Sorry to hear Somewhere decided to move on without the group. Ya'll did great on those passes. Can't wait to see what is next. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

[@umreeh]

I believe Somewhere wants to do the AT, PCT and CDT ASAP so she's on a mission

[@TheGrandmateresa]

@@umreeh Good to know why.

[@Yetithruhikes]

Only PCT and AT

[@all-to-Him-I-owe100]

Go Somewhere Go! We are rooting you on too! You have got this!!! ❤🙏🏻 AT and PCT!

[@martinwelch5774]

So happy for all of you. Somewhere will be missed indeed.

[@wildeone1636]

Congratulations on an amazing achievement 🎉🎉🎉

[@theyogapit4864]

I wish we could have seen for more footage of Kearsarge pass, I have never seen such beautiful hiking before

[@bozho13]

You did a great job capturing the epic day - totally felt epic watching it on video

[@steveo4436]

Amazing video Roadrunner. Do you edit and publicize your own videos? I watch u every morning with breakfast. Thanks for taking us along on the fabulous PCT.

[@pauliedavis49]
