DUCK PASS | JOHN MUIR WILDERNESS

[@johnleonard3806]

Another beautiful video. You capture the essence of the Sierra's so well with the water flow shots, tight flower closures and slow pans of the horizon and mt peaks. With minimal face time. Very nice.

John Leonard thank you!

[@kenogster3059]

Been 25 years since I've been up there. As Arnold would say, I'll be back. This will hold me over for now, Thanks.

Oh how I love that hike. I remember your video from that first trip. Beautiful shots. Thanks for the memories of warmer days.

[@ColemanOutdoors]

Nice one! Those pack trains are always fun. Those mules are so cute!

[@NickandRachel]

Wow that place is gorgeous!

[@edschneider1780]

Another great episode, thanks for sharing!

[@iamgogi]

Beautiful! Lucky to hike these trails

[@nahavandi89]

This is ridiculously beautiful 😍👌👍

[@rkatrails]

Great video! I literally had my map out yesterday afternoon planning this hike. I've only ever gone as far as Skelton Lake. This coming summer I plan to hike to Duck Pass and then down and left to Pika Lake to spend the night.

[@Sheety33]

rkatrails thank you! Sounds like a great trip you have planned!

[@jeffreyvasquez3911]

Beautiful.

[@johnrsims43]

If you have not done it you should do the Mammoth Crest loop. Starts at Lake George trail head, up to and along Mammoth Crest, down through deer lakes basin, out the other side, down to Duck Lake, and out the way you are coming in. Stunning, and no crowds except at entry and exit. I did it as a day hike, but deer lakes basin would be great camping.

johnrsims43 thanks for the suggestion - I almost did this last summer but ran out of time/weekends before the snow came. I believe it’s about a 12 to 15 mile loop? Planning to do it this summer!!

[@johnrsims43]

@@Sheety33 , yes I "guess" your estimate is close. My GPS showed 12.5, but did not include distance from Lake Mary Trail head to Lake George Trail head. I hitched a ride and saved ~ 2 miles.

Beautiful ! What camera did you use to film your trip?

[@jjfjeff]

Awesome serrated mountains

[@garyji]

Definite inspiration. I noticed you came in through the Emerald Lake trail, rather than the Duck Lake trail. Any particular reason for that or just to switch things up a bit since you've been there before? Another beautiful video. I'm planning to do this as a multi-day hike on to Purple and Ram Lakes.

[@papafoster16]

You're Sierra Royalty! Any campsites at Duck or Pika lakes?

[@Sheety33]

At Pika for sure! Not allowed to camp at Duck.

[@TwoGeez1]

This is a little off subject but I have to ask, what brand sunglasses do you wear? Them things be Fresh, lol

[@Sheety33]

Thanks! I wear cheap sunglasses from Express 😎

Video doesn't do it justice until it's been seen in person!

[@Sheety33]

Kliche travels so true!
