Our usual Friday hike will consist of hiking 3.4 miles of the Overlook Loop with an overnight stay at the Little Bridges Campsite. This campsite is 1.7 miles at the middle of the loop. Tomorrow we will hike 6 switchbacks to the Overlook then finish off the 1.7 miles left to mile marker 0.

What a beautiful beautiful sunrise lace Senior Hiker. A great place to explore. The only visitors at night when we were camping were Kangaroos 🦘 wombats and other harmless nocturnal animals. Nice adventure. Loved the views towards the lake. The last mile always seems longer because you are anticipating the end 😂 Happy Hiking 🥾 All the best.

Ur videos allways so nice and informative. I came back home from the oil fields in the North sea thursday evening.. so today i went kiking 15 kilometers in rough terrain. I had with me some dinner, eggs etc and i had a wonderful dinner 600 meters above sea level... higher up i met some deep snow... my legs went down to my knees so i returned to a "sæter" ...."støl" and made my dinner there on my Primus Easyfuel. I know how it feel to fetch water from a stream like the one in ur clip.
