[@drewyager4020]

So close yet so far. I felt that

[@ConquerYou]

I did this hike, I remember it being amazing,, your video brings back memories of just how amazing it is. nice vidEO!

[@waltrmitty]

@ 9:25 "tip of Baker" nah, perhaps Hood, St Helens, Adams....but perhaps I've lost my bearings. It has been 20 yrs since I was on Granite Mtn ;-) I've been laid up with a foot injury and appreciate being able to 'hike' with you in your videos ! thank you

[@manooch]

I don't say that is what really has happened but at 11:39 it looks like those rocks were broken to pieces by somebody and piled up there . Wonder geologically what has happened to those granite rocks?!, Glaciers did it ? how?!

[@bryrye4545]

9:23 did you mean Mt Adams??

[@thewedo752]

Great video guys! Thanks for sharing! I'm adding this hike to my list.

[@tedgreene9914]

Really enjoy your vids. Thnx for doing.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you, glad you are enjoying them. :)

Beautiful day to go. I haven't done that route so it was fun to see. Nice slide!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

When we first did that route, last year, there was no snow. But there was only 5ft of visibility from the fog/clouds. Boulder scrambling along that edge was...an edgy experience. :)

What month did you do the hike?

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Wow. Beautiful hike. There were some really nice cascades and the view was awesome.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you! The cascades in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness are top notch! Looking forward to many more summits in that region. :)

I've only been a subscriber for a few days, I love your video's. I'm so jealous the beautiful breathtaking places you get to see with your own eyes touch with your own hands an the smells of redwoods an Pines. at night the stars .

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you John! The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure of living. :)

[@paigeturner2766]

This hike is doable.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Haven't I seen a photo of you at the lookout?

[@havenskye8693]

I've definitely been enjoying a couple of your videos, please keep on hiking and filming! two things: 1) I cannot believe you hike so much without sunglasses lol 2) first time I've seen those hiking poles doing anything more than hang out on your packs!!!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

This winter, I really want to get some sunglasses for the snow. I don't have a problem with sun during the summer. My hat and deep set eyes pretty much take care of it. But when the light is reflecting up the snow as well, it's a bit of a pain. And the trekking poles...well, they always get used when we head back down. I just typically will not use them on the hike up unless there is snow and I need the stability. Thanks for watching! :D

Specifically on this Granite Mountain hike, everyone that is able to do so (probably with kids over the age of 10 at a minimum) should try to take the path up the boulder ridge. The boulder hopping is my favorite part of the hike by far. If you go late season (July 15+) you will find a LOT of wild berries along the trail.

[@orcaguy4153]

You should do mt. young on san Juan island wa. it's short but super fun!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Sadly, this was the one year I did not visit the San Juan Islands. I've been everywhere on that island but Mt Young! Thanks, I will have to add it to the todos for our next visit. :)

[@orcaguy4153]

Outside & Stuff Did you need training for the ridge. I did the other route that went around the bolder field.

[@210SAi]

Non hiker from Texas: How do you know when the snow is packed well enough to not just slide away?

[@ethankannon183]

I went last weekend, it was decent, just make sure you watch your step on the snow

[@naga5583]

Nice information. I am planning next week end .Have you seen or encountered any bears .I heard there are lots of bugs on summit and bugs repellent is must

[@NoTrail]

You are driving way too fast...looks to be a way too popular location. How embarrassing to upload a muted video.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It's definitely one of the more popular hikes in the area. That's a thing you have to deal with when you pick a hike that's one hour outside of Seattle.
