Hiking Washington - Heather Maple Pass Loop

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

Jen is a doll....in every way.....what a great hiking buddy !!!

[@jackhollenbach]

The lake you hiked to (at about 12:00 mark) is Lewis Lake (maybe you know that by now). I camped there a few years ago. As to the boulder-hopping route to get there, at the time, I said to myself, "I think once is enough for this lake." Beautiful place. Crappy hike across all those rocks with a full pack though. Loving this channel!

[@Doitnow7]

It’s a beautiful mountain. Thank you.😄🤗👍😍

[@daniellupton7474]

WOW!!!! Heather maple loop! Maple heather loop! Haha gosh that was an awesome video. Thanks you guys! 🤘🏻

[@bryanmaples1771]

Everytime I watch one of your videos it makes me miss home so much!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It's one of the most beautiful/amazing places in America, that's for sure. :)

[@lilrob036]

Wow I did this hike in October and didn't see this lake or Black Peak. Im back in San Antonio, TX after being in Tacoma, Washington for a year. Really missed this place after watching your video!

[@thewedo752]

Love your channel, especially the hikes in Washington. You have given me some wonderful hikes to choose from. Thanks!

[@Fer.A]

Yes! My favourites are back on the trail! And what a wonderful trail!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

These rainy days should make for more time to produce videos. :)

[@yvonnelei2733]

Welcome back. I hiked Maple pass loop this summer. After I watched this video, I really want to go back there to see beautiful fall colours. Thank you for sharing.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It's one of the most beautiful places to see them in Washington. Unfortunately, I am guessing it's all under snow at this point. Going to have to wait till next year. :)

[@yvonnelei2733]

North Cascades NP is truly beautiful place...Hopefully we can see some snowshoeing videos from you two in Washington state this winter. Love your videos. Keep up great work!

[@oliverhummell]

Thanks for the cool video! Looking forward for maybe hiking the pass too :-) Can you tell me when exactly did you hike it? Early Oct? Later? THX

[@davidkuhns8389]

Another awesome video. Fantastic hike!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thanks David!

[@HikerBiker]

Great video, that loop has been and always will be a favorite of mine. Been a few years now since i've hiked it. Unfortunately its gotten to be way over popular.

[@randywarnock2937]

Latch and other subalpine trees grow very slowly. Their was a 18” diameter tree cut along the trail and it was over 350 years old. That latch I probably over 600 years old

[@tvercel]

Looks amazing. Curious if you feel this hike is doable in late June or if there will be too much snow that time of year. What other day hikes are good if not this one in cascades. Cheers!

[@byoregon1]

Thx for the fun video you guys. I’m off to the North Cascades next week, and you’ve given me a great intro to what I’ll be facing. I hope the larches are looking that good when I’m there. I believe I’ll be skipping that Lewis Lake segment.

[@schmevvyschmidt5305]

Wow, thanks for sharing the trip. With the drive and hike an overnighter would be sweet. Plus more time to take it slow over the rocks and get marmotal larch feelin. Look forward to the couch being put in storage.

[@skagited9617]

Noticed the new vid about 45 mins after you posted..... NOW I have the "Bell" clicked so I get notified! I've never done that trail, but I can see now that I have to get back in shape to at least try it. Still have good health for 65, but stamina is in the ditch. Thanks for the inspiration! I did hear about a month ago, a young man (19 I think) died from injuries out there by Wing Lake, before they could get help to him. It's a great place to have a lot of fun and enjoy this wonderful home we call "Planet Earth"; but certain areas are no place for horseplay or thinking you're invincible. You guys be Safe out there... (gotta keep the vids coming!) Now... to the rest of the vid!

[@skagited9617]

Within one minute of going back to watching the rest of the vid.... I hit the part of you guys discussing too much sitting around drinking beer and watching KZbin! Sitting here sipping a Drambuie and YouTubing myself... I had lost about 50 lbs since this time last year, in the last few months... I've found about 15 of it! :-( Gotta hit the gym!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

If he was going for Black Peak, I could definitely see multiple ways to injure yourself. Heck, the boulder hopping alone is enough to break a leg/ankle or have one roll on top and get stuck/crushed in them. But. I try not to think about that too much. :)

[@irbis71]

Thank you for this video. The scenery is stunning. Now I know I want to hike that loop.

[@aristidesllaneza4120]

Great video! Thanks for posting. What date did you hiked the loop?

[@cristianalvarenga2886]

I can't wait to go this place ✊

[@justino611]

Great video guys. Love Black Peak. I did it in 2016 and again this July. The scenery is amazing right up there with Sahale imo. Love these fall colors. Maybe we can hit the trail sometime.

[@drewgb]

Great vid! I bet summiting Black Peak in winter is challenging and fun!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

I think the hardest part might be having to wait till that boulder field is packed with enough snow to safely traverse it. :)

[@beesoung]

Love your hikes especially the ones in Washington. Got alot of great ideas from you for my hikes. Haven't done the heather maple pass but definitely will put on my list this fall.

[@angeladahl6394]

Glad to see a new video! You guys should head over to the East side of the state and do some of the hikes around Spokane...I might see you guys on the trails!

[@angeladahl6394]

ALSO, this is a stunning hike! On my to-do list for sure!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It would have to be quite the trip, but it's definitely not an impossibility. :)

[@chanelleariel8947]

Such a fun hike!

[@orcaguy4153]

Black peak is such a fun climb.

[@Santrigasmi]

Waaw,, nice video

[@bradlashua5401]

Love your videos. I literally saw a couple people in tears after crossing the Lewis Lake boulder field. I kinda enjoyed going across it, I’m not sure what that says about me. LOL

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It says you love how strong your ankles are and how good your balance is. ;)

[@plee704]

Beautiful hike! Love you guys!

[@minkos61]

I'll take last years vid over not having any LOL. Welcome back :) Ernie

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thanks Ernie. I've got some time now that we are not backpacking almost every weekend. Hoping to get out a video every other week or so.

[@rafaabdul2941]

Thanks for sharing the info! Where did you get the pass, is it available at visitor center?

[@malcolmsmith2076]

Lovely hike! Missed you guys!

[@katherinef.326]

Beautiful place and very helpful video. We plan to do this hike for the first time this summer. When you guys were crossing that boulder field to get to Lewis Lake and then Wing lake is it easy to find the trail after all those rocks?

[@elenitzelepis1752]

I just watched your video and loved it. What exact day/month did you do this hike? i'm looking to go to the North Cascades second week of October. Hoping to see fall colors and hike a bunch.

[@kineticuncertainty]

Thanks for the video. I am planning a visit in a week to north cascades. Not sure if i want to do maple loop or easy pass. ? I plan on doing the cascade pass and shahale arm, and sourdough mountain.

[@sycamoreflats8855]

Gorgeous. Loop is all you need. Beatles, right?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Jen says that was a Beatles reference. :)

[@lauralouise3978]

Did you guys hike to hidden lake lookout on October 8th? I think my friend and I passed you but i wasn't sure so i was too afraid to say anything.. haha! But I love your videos!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Yup! That was us. :D

[@WanderingSoleTV]

I love the banner photo on your channel!

[@johalversongarnas4212]

Love your videos! Did you guys do this hike in early October? The colors and weather change a lot in a short amount of time. This was a beautiful video to watch.

[@igoslomo]

Hola! I'm loving your videos.. especially Patagonia! In this video you're using a map on your phone. What app is it?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Its the Gaia GPS app for iPhone. Best hiking app out there in my opinion. www.gaiagps.com

[@igoslomo]

That was QUICK! Thanks so much...

[@OutsideAndStuff]

You're welcome. :)

[@kimpacer2281]

What do you guys edit your videos on ? Amazing hike ! I feel like I know you guys from somewhere. Must be the charismatic likability of you two ! Happy trails !

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Beautiful country, wow the views are amazing. Great video.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you! :)

[@mercurials54]

What kind of permit is required to camp around black peak by the lake where you guys turnt around?

[@8282metalman]

Yay!!!! Ur back!!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Along with the bad weather, finding some time to make some edits here and there. :)

[@calebcarter6657]

tysm this is so good

[@traceypistorio9660]

7:04. "The Larch".

[@ecthelion1735]

What was the actual date of this hike?

[@samrobinson9467]

Was preparing for the worst ,like you guys were bear food or something. Great to see you back and another great video

[@OutsideAndStuff]

HAH. We were just a bit too busy being outdoors as much as possible this summer. You can always hop over to our FB page or Instagram account to see more "consistent" activity. But I hold no promises there either. :D

[@ManyDoors777]

Any bears or cougars!?

[@dondenis1500]

Love this hike, just make sure you don't do it on a weekend.

[@stevenwood7131]

Did i read the sign behind you correctly? No camping?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

You are correct. This area is heavily trafficked and there is no camping at the lake down around the loop. If you want to camp you need to huff it out to Black Peak or even further.

[@jr2090]

Yes!!! Great video! Btw I'm the nagging @followerfeed on instagram

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thanks for your patience ;)
