my first backpacking trip (alpine lakes wilderness) | fall weekend diaries

[@andrewhikesandclimbs5470]

I am hoping to backpack to Rachel, Lila, and Alta Mountain soon. I'd also like to include Rampart Lakes if we have time. This is about the best video I have found. Thanks.

[@Steve.N1977]

Love your content, my family and I moved to Federal Way about 3 years ago from Ohio and we are in love. Hiking Ranier is one of the most surreal, incredible things we have done since moving here, just simply amazing. Love your channel and welcome to Seattle! 😊

[@paulinemendezz]

[@KellyLira]

[@socalsumu3345]

So many great things to say about this video and your channel…from the editing and fitting music to the beautifully-captured scenery and your way of articulating what’s going on. Awesome!

[@takingflight7656]

Great video! Thank you!

[@yzdnyou7163]

It was great I am interested for your next video

[@danbijeong]

Hi! Newly subscribed here after searching for Seattle trip videos. Just watched 5 of your videos straight and I wanted to say I love your content and all the ways you portray them. It's beautiful. Thank you:)

[@KellyLira]

awww thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@jennyfisher3773]

Next time do Rampart lakes!! It is amazing and they have a wonderful rock to jump off of into the water. Actually, best to do in August and early September. There are so many wonderful hikes to do in the Cascades!!

[@KellyLira]

keeping this in mind for next summer!

[@jacob-yx2sx]

More more more!!

[@KellyLira]

HAHA jeob, yes yes yes!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[@bhavs4869]

This vlog is beautiful. I'm moving to Seattle next summer and your videos give me something to look forward to :)

[@KellyLira]

Thank you! Excited for you and your move!! 💛

[@everettclick4656]

Hope u love the radical leftist antifa and heroin needles and getting all ur stuff stolen by tweekers because that's what youll get the city seems nice at first but if your not living somewhere with high income u best be locking ur shit up or else its getting stolen plus the shit traffic and constant protests it may seem like bliss at first but shit gets old dont move to washington nobody want u here

[@ismaellopez5002]

Absolutely neeeeed more of these videos and maybe even one on how to prepare for these hikes!

[@KellyLira]

Thanks Ismael!! And good idea! I’ll keep that in mind for another video :)

[@rotienoxoxo]

[@glamourandsugar1067]

[@KellyLira]

Hi Auntie Cherry, thanks so much!! 💕💕

[@josephwhite6756]

I'm moving to Seattle mid dec gonna be cold but I'm still so excited this vlog kept my hopes up

[@KellyLira]

Best of luck with the move, Joseph! It will be cold but that also means there will be snow!!! I can’t wait to see the mountains covered in snow again 🏔 the snow-capped mountains surrounding the city is... just... 😍

[@josephwhite6756]

@@KellyLira thanks Kelly I'm all for the snow im moving there on a business trip and might look for a few jobs as well I heard this was the land of activities and I'm Soo excited plus I'm from Florida so when we see beautiful girls we speak up it's all apart of living life.

[@everettclick4656]

Heres some tips for you always wear shoes when walking around heroin needles are everywhere also make sure ur bike etc are locked up lots of crackhead and tweekers after awhile you'll get used to getting screamed at by heroin addict junkie waste away abusers washington is a nice place visit but not a nice place to live unless ur rich ur not gonna be able to afford living here if you're not rich having fun barely scraping by

[@AsianTrekkieAZ]

So beautiful Kelly! I love this video! My husband and I plan to move to Seattle in a few years and your videos just add to the many reasons why we want to move from Scottsdale to Seattle. Where’s cute little Manny? Is he being well cared for while you were on your hike?

[@KellyLira]

thank you so much! yes, our friend watched over him during our trip ☺️

[@postdreaming]

So absolutely beautiful! I also live in Seattle and enjoy hiking. I would love to try backpacking sometime but have been nervous about being a first timer, don't wanna die in the mountains haha so ideally want to go with someone experienced 😂

[@KellyLira]

Thank you! Haha, I feel that too 🤣 One night is pretty nice to get used to backpacking and it’s not too much commitment. My husband went to Mirror Lake and one of the trails to it is 2.2 mi round trip if you’d want a shorter trip! www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mirror-lake-and-cottonwood-lakes

[@postdreaming]

@@KellyLira Awesome, thanks for the rec!

[@raisethebarr]

Views for days!!!

[@KellyLira]

Right?! Thankfully it was clear that day so we could see all the mountain layers 🧅

[@daedalus9042]

Great shots and narration

[@KellyLira]

thank you!!

[@amylin892]

Newly subscribed! I really love your vlogs Kelly! :)

[@KellyLira]

thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@sheivers1]

More videos please, I am from Colombia, and that is a reality that I hope one day I can enjoy, my dream has always been to go live for a season in Seattle, these types of videos make me want it even more, keep it up, great content, congrats

[@KellyLira]

thank you andres!

[@everettclick4656]

Please dont move here this channel is a false reality i cant believe i'm the only one who has to tell you guys about this harsh reality but seattle isnt a great place heroin addicts are everywhere and heroin needles are an everyday sight i've seen people o'd on the streets in this town it not a good happy place you think it is its a good place to visit but not to live in unless ur a collage student or some with an education ur not gonna make it in this city

[@mpotato5678]

Loved the video. Washington is so beautiful! Is there anything you packed that you wish you hadn't? Or anything you didn't pack that you wish you had?

[@KellyLira]

Thank you Michelle! I’m happy to report that I did not overpack ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I think next time, I’ll bring a bear canister. We’re not in bear country but I’d bring it to be safe (and for peace of mind while sleeping 🙈) OH I would 100% bring more sunflower butter to snack on! 🤪

[@TravellyWorld]

👌👌Nice VLOG! Thank you for sharing!Hi from Travelly 👍

[@LS-yf6vu]

Hello Kelly ! what a beautiful video :), I am moving to Sammamish on Dec 12th by myself. I love hiking, and sightseeig, do you recommend any hiking groups. Here in New York we have the appalachian AMC outdoors which I usually get to meet people through the meet up. Obviously I don't know anyone up in Washngton. Than you! I love your energy, you seem so happy and full of life all the time :)

[@KellyLira]

Thank you! One of my friends has a great blog and Facebook group that you could check out! thewanderingqueen.com The Wandering Queens - Women Who Hike, Camp, and Backpack facebook.com/groups/thewanderingqueens/?ref=share

[@andrewandrew3639]

Is it ok to pitch a tent anywhere you want ? I mean , do you need a permission to pitch a tent?

[@genebae264]

Is the hike too difficult for dogs?

[@KellyLira]

Seems doable for dogs! We saw many dogs on the trail and would’ve brought ours if we did this as a day hike!

[@linneahelleren]

can i please join you on your next hike and yes keep making these
