John, I know you probably won’t see this. Just wanted to say that your channel inspired me so much, and I somehow managed to find a few videos that were unlisted and I still watch them super often. I’m glad you are doing what you need to do, but really hope the channel comes back at some point. I know it made a big difference in my life. Keep doing you man, hope to see you again soon :)

That area in between Owens and Death Valley (Saline, Panamint, and Eureka Valleys) is a true hidden gem of California. Rugged, truly remote with many places where very very few people have ever gone before. My friends and I used to just drive out there, pick out a ridge and follow it up for a 9~10k feet elevation gain dayhike to the top and back; all off trail and usually no water source at all.

muddeer wow ... hardcore ... did some climbing in Whitney Portal, but never anything in the Inyos
@muddeer53836 жыл бұрын
The valleys east of the Inyos are lower in elevation than Owens Valley, which is ~4000' above sea level. Saline is ~1000' above sea level for example. A hike from Saline Valley floor to the summits of Inyo peaks requires 3k' more elevation gain (so 10k for Keynot Peak or inyo Mt.). Moreover, the Inyo Mountains rise more steeply on the east side than the Owens Valley side. They are much more impressive and rugged from the east side. Few people go to the east side because of lack of good roads.

muddeer sounds about right ... been to Eureka Dunes once on a geology field trip, but never south to the Saline or the hot springs. Lack of reliable off-road transport kept me outta there but I do enjoy the western edge of Nev around hwy 6 to the north ... amazing country

Not sure if you read these anymore, and I'm surprised I found this vid in my history. Hope all's well man. Miss your videos, kept me stoked on hiking when all I could do is sit at my 9-5. You're one of the reasons I love the outdoors as much as I do. Take care 🤙🏼

John, thank you for always being clear with your feelings on these adventures, and showing the perspectives of other people. It's crazy, these two powerful hikers with different styles and how John Z is like a legend at this point but he still has trouble out of his style. Anyway might be a bunch of nonsense I type. Thanks for a video it made me thoughtful and happy and I don't care if I waited do you're thing man. - 007 - A.T. thru hiker class of 2017

Hey John, I want you to know this video played a big part in preparing/inspiring me to hike the LMT. I did it in Oct 2018. My grandfather actually established this trail - you may've seen the plaque(s) commemorating him in the cabins. I think this does such beautiful justice to the rugged majesty of the place, which my grandfather loved so much, so I thank you for that. Also, despite you feeling slow on this route... 3 days is a blistering pace! I also found it one of slowest, most trying 40-ish miles I've experienced. I'm going back this year to take my time, summit Keynot and explore more of the mine sites. Also, my family owns property in Saline - did you see that big green splotch due north which intersected the road, as you were coming down the ridge over hunter canyon? That's it! Feel free to camp on the screen porch and get water from the well, if you ever hike through again :)

lonesome miner trail has some resources on it. but then we didn't do the whole loop we were planning on doing at all. after the race track we were going to head up a ridgeline on the SE corner of the flat then do another bit through the inyos before dropping back down into owens valley. this area is real cool because the world's your oyster! tons of open land and canyons to explore

If you have particular interests in the canyons of this area, check out Scott Swaney on Facebook and Ropewiki. He has done, I'm guessing, 90+ % of the "first descents" in the Death Valley and surrounding mountains.
