I used to go to the Sierras as a teen with my friends. Rivers flowing down the slopes over the granite made for natural inground swimming pools - one right after the other - all the way down the mountainsides, with all different sizes to choose from as you head down. The clearest water ever. So great on a hot summer day. The Trinity Alps are awesome too up by Redding but the entire Sierras chain is just awesome.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Its awesome, thank you!

This was awesome! I can't wait to hike the JMT in a few more weeks. I am using my iPhone 11 pro max also. If you don't mind my asking, what app are you editing with? And when you save video, do you save in 4K/60 also? I use KineMaster and am having issues with saving the video to my phone in 4K/60 - it keeps telling me error saving video (file too large maybe?). But if I decrease to 1080 it works but that messes up the image quality. It's frustrating. Your videos look wonderful! Great job!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, I edit in Final Cut Pro, or iMovie on my mac, no issues there. I def save in 4k60fps in Final Cut Pro, I think iMovie reduces it to 29,97 fps (you can not adjust frame rate in iMovie) but it still looks good.

[@TikiBirdTracy]

@@NorwegianXplorer thank you! I started with iMovie with my old iPhone 7 then upgraded to KineMaster to have more options with editing. Maybe I should try iMovie again and see how that works. I'll keep experimenting. Thanks so much. :)

This is another level of soothing, out of all the videos I've seen on mountains, streams, lakes, and trails, this one is indescribable on how it makes me feel. One minute in and I forgot all my worries and stresses completely. Amazing video.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much, really appreciate it🙏

[@wakingmusic]

Thank you so much for this video! I was on the CCC Backcountry Trails crew there in 1982 and have not seen it since until now! Btw, you need a starter pistol to scare bears away. They hate loud, startling noises. Bubbs Creek probably has a bridge now because it was a raging torrent the year that the NPS foreman made us cross it on a slippery log and I slipped and almost fell in. I definitely would have not survived. Oh, the stories I have of that summer in Kings Canyon! A bear ripped into our tent and almost took out my left eye (I screamed and it was GONE), a footlong millipede crossed my sleeping bag when I slept under the stars, we had to take a helicopter to get up to Paradise Valley there was so much snow! I remember the Sphinx, Mount Clarence King, Mount Wynn, and we climbed Mount Pinchot and Arrow peak. We hiked 19 miles out and saw a bear running 35 mph! We saw Bighorn (or maybe Dahl) sheep. We didn’t have smart phones back then, but I took loads of pictures with my little Olympus backpacking camera with a self-timer. I took a pic of myself standing in a field of Columbines in Paradise Valley on my birthday.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thanks for the memories, must have been great time, I will pass on the millipede though😳

I really appreciate your pace and the fact that you enjoy the experience and your surroundings so much. Having backpacked since the late 1960s (1-4 weeks a year and mostly with a friend I have known since childhood), it just suits my style. Many, but not all, of these current backpacking videos are about mileage, obstacles overcome, and personal ego and overlook the majestic nature that they are marching through.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, I couldn't agree more, its all about experiencing and showing people the wonderful nature for me, I was a little bummed that I had to rush through to finish the loop, the pace we had the first 2,5 days was perfect. I love being out there, very happy that you can feel that in my video:-)

[@thecrazycelt5143]

I've been in tears since a quarter way in. Since I was 10 I knew I had to find the top of the mountain. I don't even remember my first hike. I only remember the wind. It felt likei could be a seed just dancing in the wind. After a little over 10 years in the fire service, I became ill. After four years out I was diagnosed with Lupus. I had suffered in my profession for years before..... I've don Alta, Lakes Trail, Sawtooth, Mt Whitney and more. Your video brought me to tears because I miss them so much. While I've hiked with people, I have done solo more than not. After I got sick I took up photography. It slowed me down enough that I could hike. I began really seeing the beauty I was surrounded by. I never wanted to slow another person down whether it was my disease or my love of light in the forest or on barren rock. Thank you for lighting that torch for me again. I'm determined to get out there. The Sequoia Park, wherever you are in it, is a slice of heaven. We're being ravaged by fire right now. Oddly enough, I've been hiking in these parts for 20 years. I have always taken pictures. Without knowing it, I now realize I've chronicled the look of this beautiful place. It's so much different now than 15, 20 years ago. It breaks my heart.

[@JavierFernandez01]

I took my son on the zumwalt meadows to roaring river falls trail. We saw a bear and on the way back noticed that a recently burned area might be starting up again! We have already talked to 911. They are sending the forestry service. But a big sequoia was down and charred and billowing smoke. We didn't notice it on the way to the falls so we do think it was growing. We dumped our water bottles on it and filled them in the river and dumped them again but the sun was going down and we did see the bear... we had to get out. No joke. It was scary but no fire, no embers... lots of smoke though. Im glad we went. We maybe stopped a forest fire. Im definitely getting bear spray. We did just like you when we saw it. We were thankfully much farther away. 60 feet or so. On the plus side, we think we can do longer hikes without too much strain. And we will try. Thank you for everything you do. You and your videos are an inspiration. Really.

[@jonvenden4284]

There is one thing you can learn from what happened with that bear that Jarl help scare off. Notice how the bear kept sticking its tongue out (another is a very audible popping of the jaw) then it would bluff charge. These actions show that the bear is stressed and the more stressed they get the more unstable they become. Black bears generally will run grizzly is another thing altogether. Jarl said no bear spray allowed here so you can use an air horn to drive them away if you get in a tight situation. How to handle bears would make for a whole book. There is know simple statement that answers that question. Start with park protocols on how to handle food so your not inviting bears into your camp to start with.

Another beautiful video Jarl! Those lenticular clouds at Glenn Pass were awesome, as was the lunch spot at Rae Lakes. I'm curious - are you zooming in with your phone (specifically that waterfall), or are you zooming in when you process the video? I'm pretty impressed with the video quality of the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I'm seriously considering leaving my GoPro at home on my next trip. I'm still impressed with the tenacity of that bear. Hopefully, others won't have the same experience!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Maryann! For the very close up shots, Forester Pass and the bear, I zoom past the max zoom of the zoom lense on the iPhone, The zoom lense is 2X, but you can zoom it digitally to 6x, so the resolution suffers a little bit. Its also got a wide angle lense, so 3 lenses that work pretty well together. The bear is something for sure lol, I have reported it to Seki just to be on the safe side.

[@MaryannHazel]

@@NorwegianXplorer - Thanks! I have the 11 Pro Max as well, and I have a couple of lenses made by Moment. They help extend the reach of the telephoto on the camera. You might want to check it out. Anyway - great video!
