Nice trip and good to see that Joey is alive and well.

[@mountainwanderer]

He's still alive and out there walking some trail!

[@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981]

My goodness, Travis...Having Joey and Val (and some other friends) join you on a hike? Your heart must have been so full.....!

[@mountainwanderer]

It was a great group that is for sure!

[@bobparsons77]

Great to be back with you and Timber! 4 weeks in S BC butterflying,,lots of smoke all over the place. bob

[@mountainwanderer]

Welcome back! Hope you had a great trip!

[@hyoh-wu]

Solid video. Liked the Behind the scenes Subway shot. Val had some great shots in there also. Nice airiel footage of the lakes and mountains enjoyed it all. Thanks.

[@mountainwanderer]

It's too bad that some of the scenery that you see in there will not look the same...

[@hyoh-wu]

@@mountainwanderer don't throw away your footage. We can hike it next season to do a compare and contrast and see the devastation the fire caused.

[@mountainwanderer]

I made a video with the footage...😀

[@lisa.k.805]

beautiful vid, great music! my friend & I have time set aside to do western Montana in July and we have yet to pick a hike... this is at the top of my list but I'll have to check on fire damage : (

[@mountainwanderer]

Sadly, this was a huge fire last year. I don't know what the trails look like. Hopefully they are not too bad.

[@DrJohn493]

Enjoyed this one also but regret the all the fires in your world this summer. Good to see Joey make a guest appearance since he's gone dark on his channel. The drone shots are working!

[@mountainwanderer]

Sadly this whole area was hit really hard by a fire. None of it looks like the way it did in the video now.

[@5wheels521]

Always a great trip with you. Loved the peaceful stillness,,, You never disappoint 👉🥰

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you! This is definitely one of my favorite routes!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Awesome hiking trail. I always think that those lakes up on those mountain tops is so beautiful. Great aerial footage too. Can’t go wrong with good friends and good times in the outdoors 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mountainwanderer]

Thanks, man! Alpine lakes are something special to be sure!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Very nice trip and a little bit of everything to boot. Timber looks good. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@mountainwanderer]

This one did have a bit of everything! Makes for a good adventure!

[@elizabethwhite6364]

Wonderful hike! Enjoyed every minute! Great views, great fun!

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you! It was a great trip, with just enough adventure.😃

[@HikingWithJustin]

I’m a sucker for those drone shots! Love seeing that perspective. Great video as always and glad you got cooperative smoke free weather!

[@mountainwanderer]

I'm still learning how to get good shots with the drone. You're very good at it. I'm taking notes on every one of your videos! Thanks for checking it out!

[@RandallW20]

Another great one. Love your vids. Glad to see Joey is still alive and kickin too 😂

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you for coming along with us!

[@relaxingvideosnorthwest3646]

Wonderful hike!

[@mountainwanderer]

This route is great, though it won't be the same now. Sadly a couple weeks after we did this hike, lightening started a fire that has been burning since early July and has now burned most of the area we hiked... and it is not out yet.

[@pilowespo]

Great video! I love that trail! No matter what the fire does it will still be a special beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.

[@mountainwanderer]

It is a great area! That area on the other side of the ridge from Goat Lakes was burned back 2015 and it's coming back.

[@RhodySeth]

Holy smokes, incredible country. Hopefully the fire didn't do too much damage to the area. I gotta get out west.

[@mountainwanderer]

The Cabinet Mountains are truly amazing! If you get the chance you should definitely go! Until then, I'll keep making videos..😀

[@wade2361]

How fortuitous! My wife and I are heading to this area in a couple weekends for a biking/camping/hiking/floating adventure. We are starting by biking Hiawatha and then spending the night in Wallace (I'll keep my eyes peeled for that Radio Brewing Co - I love finding new, good breweries). We are then heading over to Thompson Falls and spending a few nights at the state campground. We'll float one of the days (bikes come in handy for shuttling) but we'd like to get in a good dayhike. We'd planned on hitting Mt Silcox but I'm open to suggestions (we can drive a bit) if you have them (8-12 miles). We hope the Thorne Creek fire is under control and we don't get smoked out. Again, beautiful footage! And ridge walks are the best!

[@mountainwanderer]

That sounds like an amazing trip! You'll have to go to Kellogg to hit Radio Brewing, but there are also 2 breweries in Wallace. Hopefully they have the fire until control by the time you get there.

[@wade2361]

@@mountainwanderer We had to modify our trip a couple times, but still ended up having a great time! We mainly ended up in the St Joe drainage, even though there are fires there as well. Couldn't get as far up as we would've liked. Still a lot better than being at work! :)

[@mountainwanderer]

@@wade2361 Yeah, there are a couple good fires over there. St Joe drainage is beautiful! Tough to go wrong.

[@elizabethwhite6364]

Thank you! Watched again!

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you for watching! Again!

[@fcernst]

Wow.. your camera resolution is very sharp..great video..Good to see Joey!

[@mountainwanderer]

Thankfully the cameras keep getting better and better! Thanks or checking it out!

[@DavidREngle]

Great video! What time of year was this? Trying to gauge if doing this area in April is possible...

[@mountainwanderer]

We did this trip in late June last year. Unfortunately a fire came through here after this trip and burned almost everything you see in the video.

[@debraelainemcdonald27]

Nice hiking. Nice to see Joey.

[@mountainwanderer]

Hopefully I'll run into him again!

[@brhino1017]

Cool Country! Is that "Joey with a beard", the original You-Tube backpacking Hipster?

[@mountainwanderer]

The one and only.... or the original!

[@brhino1017]

@@mountainwanderer He's not the "one and only"..... Travis.....However, he is "original". Then again so is Sasquatch. 😂

[@mountainwanderer]

True

[@newlifeeveryday1821]

is this in grizzly country?

[@mountainwanderer]

Yes. The Cabinets are known for Griz.

[@thebigskyguy]

That fire was dreadful. Smoke, evacs all summer long. Sad

[@mountainwanderer]

That fire really bummed me out. It took out almost the whole route we did for this trip. It was a big one.

[@RAMtrails]

Nice drone footage! Did you get the Air 2s?

[@mountainwanderer]

Yep, exactly!

[@kendellc9924]

Your my uncle's friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jason).

[@mountainwanderer]

Well hello there! Your uncle is pretty cool! Good to have another person from the valley on here!

[@tomlackey22]

OMG is Joe sleeping in a hammock? omg omg!

[@mountainwanderer]

He was hanging out with the wrong crowd... 😃

[@tomlackey22]

i love my hammock... best night of sleep ever in mine.

[@mountainwanderer]

Can't beat hammocks in my opinion.
