Dude this has been your best series of videos you’ve ever put out. So damn good! The trail looked absolutely mesmerising. ✌️ from the UK atb Ben.

[@JupiterHikes]

Thank you! Hopefully I'll continue to get better, I feel I learned a lot this go!

[@BenjaminWilcock]

JupiterHikes definitely man it really shows. These vids have been next level. Really makes me wanna push to make better edits. Really looking forward to what you’ve got coming next 👌

[@duanedibbley1661]

It's after midnight. The weekend storms dumped a lot of snow in the mountains. Now I want to throw on a pack and go hiking. What a great inspirational video.

[@angiesackett156]

You have an easy going and charming spirit about you and your videography is just the same. Thank you for sharing such beautiful scenery.

[@amyzukowski5979]

Beautiful scenery, your attitude towards hiking is contagious

[@toothpastehombre]

Tugging on them heart feelers with all this beautiful scenery, editing and smiling faces. Love it

[@keithosborne503]

Your editing is on point Jupiter. Enjoyed coming along!

[@WormwoodHikes]

I really like what you did with this series, but this chapter in particular really stands out. Thanks for sharing. I watched it today and it made me excited for the winter to pass.

[@patriotkennethburlingham7059]

Wow! I could never have imagined that beauty.

[@BeckyMarshallDesign]

Oh my gosh this is how you met Lotus!!

[@BeckyMarshallDesign]

THANK you for sharing the scenery and your enthusiasm about this wild trail. The last segment on the coast with the music was really exciting. Watching you become a junior ranger reminded me of how much joy I get from getting stamps in my Florida state parks passport. Hugs!

[@lifeframedjw]

Olympic junior ranger badge, the best. And great story.

[@UHollis]

that last beach hike!! Epic. La Push is so gorgeous.

[@madratter]

Always love following your trail time

[@sheila5707]

How awesome!

[@t.vanoosterhout233]

Quirky editing jumps, imaginative use of music, you happy in your element. Smiles.

[@UmurCanKaya]

With the speech at 17:53, watching this video was like reading one of your blog posts, it was awesome!

[@mattdonelan4723]

Started watching your videos about a year ago had never been on a backpacking trip and now I have 3500 miles and I’m training for the PNT in 2 years. Thanks for sharing your adventures ❤️

[@vickirogerson179]

I think this was your best video to date. What a great group of friends, amazing adventures and scenery. The trees and rock formations just blew me away. The whole thing blew me away.

[@Shane-zo4mg]

Thank you for taking us along for the ride! I had a blast

[@ThomasGapinski]

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@YuriyTrebushnoy]

Awesome video, I love hiking on the Olympic Peninsula, all the beaches there are great, La Push, Sisi, Realto, Salt Creek, Ruby, and Cape Flattery are my favorite beaches to hike there! I got to get back out there!

[@nightfall22]

Wow what a crazy cool journey! Over 600 miles and the other couple 1200 miles! Holy cow! I also noticed you went through 3 different headphones lol and once again some emergency happens and good thing he had a buddy with him and didn’t go into anaphylactic shock. Carry epi-pens folks! At the 20:00 min mark I thought I was watching The Goonies and One Eyed Willys pirate ship was about to cruise out in the background haha

[@markedwards6145]

Was that Ranger Lotus? Sure looked like Lotus. Great video by the way!

[@madebymeiji]

I wondered the same thing!

[@cjt4935]

Congratulations on becoming an Olympic Junior Ranger. Well Done my Friend Well done! Back in the day they gave me a tin one, I like yours Better, well deserved.................... JT. from Oregon.....

[@gpk7683]

Jupiter this video is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

[@silencenhikes6692]

I did the hoh rainforest all the way to blue glacier on mount olympus and quite a few other trails in that park. They have their own marmot species, the olympic marmot

[@peterjohnson6273]

The Ranger awarding you your Junior Ranger badge, she looks familiar...? :)

[@hibiru6868]

Your enthusiasm is awesome!

[@cassandradubois5123]

Aww I can't quite tell but is Lotus the park ranger? If so how cute! :')

[@JupiterHikes]

That is lotus! And ultimately how we met

[@cybersecurity_7704]

amazing, absolutely amazing

[@williewalks]

Wow, I am agog at the beauty of this trail. Some of your best work here. What a treat these three vids have been man. Thanks!

[@HikeCalifornia]

This series looks SO sharp. Really nicely done.

[@curtiswhitwam1]

Great video. What an amazing journey. Thank you for creating this.

[@Jimmisthefish]

I think these last 2 trails you have done, they have been really well edited, and really well shot. Super pumped about the future, congrats on the finish!

[@sagargondage6266]

Thank you!👍🙏

[@yinthena4]

Beautiful footage...amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ✌❤🥾⛰

[@trailcat71]

You are awesome!! That was such beautiful footage and your narration is awesome!! Thanks so much for all your work:)

[@zaranorth9336]

Wow ... that was awesome!!! We have some great trails here on Vancouver Island, as well! Come on up and hike a few sometime! Would love to see more so subscribing now! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@toolhog10]

Haven't seen a notification from you in a while. .. so i figure I'd watch this amazing series. This trail looks truly amazing.

[@MyraHart1943]

I had so many feels with this one!! Great job!

[@jthompsoniii]

Thank you for sharing! Great video! Good vibrations :)

[@kriscoty1]

Awesome trip. I live in Seattle, been curious of PNT...thanx for sharing. Beautiful soul and photography. Nice eye...

[@lrose711]

Really awesome! Epic...in my neighborhood...loved watching your journey!!

[@johnnyonthetrail629]

Absolutely love this series brother! Amazing views, Can't wait to see the Post Hike video. Be safe out there.

[@thepeoplesoul]

This 3 part series was fantastic! thank you

[@sfmarckx]

Thank you for this one! I live in Port Townsend and hope to hike from my door out to the coast along this part of the PNT. I recognized parts I have hiked in your video. Brings back fond memories. Just need to get out the door more often, plus figure ways to take the time off. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@JupiterHikes]

awesome!!! they have that cool bike path starting in port townsend, i think the PNTA is planning on making more of that official trail as we had to break off it to walk a road. lots of cool plans for this trails future

[@sfmarckx]

@@JupiterHikes Yes, I think they got a grant to find a route to continue that trail, the Larry Scott Trail. I heard that they found the route, but it hasn't been developed yet. I can't wait! Did you go in at the South end of Discovery Bay or further down hwy 101 at the Snow Creek road? Was it difficult to find the route into the Olympics? Thank you for your videos! They are superb!

[@conortheirishguy4337]

Nice video! I decided to ignore everyone's advice and stick to the route through the Bogachiel Rainforest. 20 miles of blow downs and overgrown trail, took me 14 hours. I met a ranger at the end who told me it hadn't been maintained in 12 years! The beach definitely made up for it

[@Nathaniel7420]

Simply awesome.

[@woodsmoke1411]

If I may offer a correction regarding tide times. One complete tidal cycle of high water to low tide and back to high tide again is a little over 12 hours; it flows out for around 6 hours and in for 6 hours ( not 24 hours as you intimated ). There are typically 2 high tides and 2 low tides in a 24 hour period. So if the safe time to hike at low water is at 1 am and you prefer not to hike in the dark, risking injury and missing the views, then you only need wait until around 1:30 pm for perfect conditions. ( The 12 hours is actually a simplification. 12.5 hours would be closer. High tide is around 1 hour later everyday ). Please check tide times everybody and stay safe. Too many folks get cut off by the rising tide.

[@JupiterHikes]

Looking at the tide chart, you are correct there are two low tides in a 24 hour period, but one is significantly lower than the other and so many of these sections there was already a tight window of opportunity the 12hr tide wouldn't be enough and 24hrs would be how long we'd have to wait.

[@valmontina]

Soooo good! I’ve just discovered your channel and absolutely love it. the pnt seems unreal in its beauty, hope to hike it in the future... greetings from italy

[@JustaWagon]

Man, what an amazing video series! I thoroughly enjoyed watching! I hope to thru hike one day, it looks like such an adventure.

[@AlexCurole]

I'm totally reminiscing on these vids right now! ☺️ Such beautiful shots, Jup. You and Lotus at the end brought a huge smile to my face.

[@JupiterHikes]

Thanks alex! I'm glad they're around to remind and reminisce. It was a wonderful time

[@MrEditorsMusic]

Nice sneak peek of Palante packs fleece hoodie :)

[@daveinstlouis7296]

Awesome Jr. Ranger

[@willin2]

Great job on the videos Jupiter, and thanks for sharing. Anyone else see the face, head, and shoulder on the rock, center-ish screen, at 18:00

[@jhonyermo]

OMG Another great ass video, but seems each one always better than the last. Naration at the end almost gives you damp eyes. Very touching. And Jr Ranger too! What a hike, what a life. I kinda bet I will watch at least 2Xs more today. Wonder what the snow levels will be this winter?

[@JupiterHikes]

Can't speak for winter myself but I'd sure like to get back out that way this next year! Help with trail maintenance, and maybe another long walk. I think I will but you'll hear more about plans very soon!

[@johnmca5643]

I live in Seattle and I still haven't hiked in the Olympics. That is so sad. Maybe next summer. Congratulations!!!!

[@JupiterHikes]

Next summer for sure! It's an awesome time!! So many cool and different environments all in one area

[@SpanielshuntingtrialingNZ]

Awesome brought a smile to my face.

[@CSLee-yu6ht]

Too Cool, I enjoyed the video... Take Care

[@JupiterHikes]

I'll be hiking the FT this winter so i'll see you out there!

[@KimberlyGreen]

I wonder what 60 year old you will be like. I won't be around to see it, but I hope he's as wonderful and happy as today you.

[@dkeener13]

these videos have been really good. thanks for bringing us along!

[@willardwooten9582]

Did you notice the Marmota Olympus , in other words the Olympic Marmot different in color from the Cascades . I have done the coast back in the 70s From the Hoh river to 1st beach and also Rialto Beach to Shi Shi Beach . I have been here 62 years The Olympics are my favorite then the Goat Rocks then usually everybody's favorite the North Cascades . Yes Bring a Tide Book .

[@JupiterHikes]

I only saw one marmot in the north cascades! so not enough to spot the difference. incredible to have done so much beach walking! this little stunt i did sure was inspiring to do more. considering the oregon coast trail at some point or i heard theres a few others in that area similar enough to the olympics

[@meanderintven4156]

What a sweet ending...

[@JupiterHikes]

Her and I are still dating now! Cool to have it on video when we met

[@sarag9021]

Beautiful videos! Thank you for the inspiration. What is the furthest you've walked to the beach and where?

[@JupiterHikes]

the furthest i walked to the beach was 4,000 miles on the eastern continental trail. i went from canada to the beaches of north florida, and then continued another thousand to the keys!

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

So proud of you becoming a Junior Ranger 💪🏼...Great final episode👍🏻

[@janefreeman995]

I'm in Washington and I thought of you this summer when it rained.

So cool(: great job man!

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Awesome video ✌️

[@ianRichter21]

Awesome videos. Will you be making a video about your Uinta Highline Trip ?

[@JupiterHikes]

Yep! Trying to decide if I'll edit that next, or maybe do some videos regarding gear, things I've learned, and how others can go hike this one before that. Any preference?

[@ianRichter21]

@@JupiterHikes No preference . I am excited to see your UHT footage as I hiked the trail the week before you got on . It seems like you got hit with all the bad weather.

[@MojaveZach]

been looking forward to this

[@naomisaldana5200]

This series was so inspiring! Don’t remember if you mentioned it, but how long did it take you to do the whole thru hike?

[@isolatedfire]

Really enjoyed the video! What is the song?

[@ewik939]

Does anyone know where the girls hiking shirt is from? Looked mad comfy and ventilated (and stylish)

She is good company 🙃

Dope 🔥

[@michellelee427]

Awesome video! I live just a couple hours away but I still haven't done hikes there. Definitely on my list now. Which hot springs was it btw?

[@JupiterHikes]

as far as i know it was called the olympic hot springs. the closest town would be port angeles, and its near the elwha river. you could walk there like we did but really taking some bikes would be most efficient

[@michellelee427]

@@JupiterHikes Thank you!! 😀

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

So what happened with Josh once he got to Ranger station

[@JupiterHikes]

They gave him Benadryl and some other stronger thing. He still broke out in hives but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been.

[@Pitman856]

This might be a weird question, but where and how often do you get food from on a hike like this?

[@JupiterHikes]

It depends on the trail! Most out there have resources online that'll give you an idea of how many miles between towns. On this hike specifically I was carrying upwards of 200miles of food at a time. Given your pace the amount of days can vary, or if you want to go into towns more frequently you could usually find some road to hitchhike off of. Depending on the trail it can be as frequent as every day or an entire week+ between stops

[@Pitman856]

JupiterHikes Hey thanks for replying, you’re the best! If you don’t mind me asking have you done a video on how you handle water yet?

[@maccamracecar]

What is the name of the trail or combination of trails?

[@JaredandTasha]

What month was this?

[@manwfrogglegs]

why did i cry when he got his junior ranger badge?

[@ScrublandTV]

YO! Is John wearing the prototype for the Pa'Lante fleece in this vid?

[@JupiterHikes]

Yea but think it'll be different colors

[@andyveres3982]

Yeah boyyyyyyy

[@troykool6275]

How do you like those Altra Timps?

[@JupiterHikes]

I liked the amount of cushion, and roomyness for my toes but had to size up a bunch to fit on the sides which wound up causing problems. Currently trying a new pair of new balances in the endless search! The timps were a product of what I could get in the moment that would be decent for the final stretch

[@jimdye7431]

how did the joey fare on this trip?

[@JupiterHikes]

it did really well! I carried 6+ days at points but think 4 and under is the sweet spot. was able to fit a bear can in it no problem, and generally a cool pack.

[@jimdye7431]

JupiterHikes thanks for the reply, digging your videos! I’m hopping to get myself a Joey when ever they come available again 🤞
