Our HARDEST Hike of the Summer (so far!) | Backpacking the Trinity Alps Wilderness

In our search for a new spot to go camping, we stumbled upon the Trinity Alps Wilderness (thanks google!) and it DID NOT disappoint. Probably the most challenging hike we've done this summer with over a mile in elevation gain, but totally worth it to see the four lakes of the Four Lakes Loop. Enjoy!

We're back with uploads!! Apologies for the delay. Got a question for you guys starting around 7:27, so let me know what you think! 👇

[@johnnybkc]

Cody and Victoria.

[@HFilms855]

The Blues!!!!

[@monicaausnit]

I noticed you said “my wife” somewhere around the beginning. Congrats!! The Blues does sound really cool.

[@HendersonDiaz]

Yey!! Congratulations guys!! Change it to Cody & Victoria

[@weitlingD3P]

Cody and Victoria :)

[@2020VIDUALS]

I really think a channel name change to, “The Blues”, would be really fitting. Congrats on the marriage!!

[@codyandvictoria]

Cheers Ian. I like that selection as well. Do you think it matters if we include something like "adventures" in the channel name? Like The Blues Adventures? Or do you think just The Blues is cool?

[@casperudy]

@@codyandvictoria Yeah, I would say add something to your last name. Just The Blues reminds me a little bit of sadness, like they got the blues lol. Maybe BluesFam? Or like you mentioned, add something like traveling or adventuring to your last name.

[@2020VIDUALS]

@@codyandvictoria honestly, I don't think you need to add anything else. "The Blues" is very simple and catchy. If you add "adventures" , you are KIND of limiting yourself too just adventure videos. And I personally quite like your sit down videos, which are equally as entertaining. Food for thought! However, lets be real.. whatever you change the name to, if you even do, we will keep coming back!

[@2020VIDUALS]

@@casperudy ouuu "The Blues Fam"! Now that has some "PSZAAZZ" to it! (Didn't spell that correctly at all)

[@chocolatized]

Blue Adventures!!

[@victoriablue815]

We're the Blues babbbeee! I still can't believe that we're married! But anyways I loved this backpacking trip! Let's do it again soon!

[@VolksWagando]

Congrats to both! You are such an amazing team. Keep it like that.

[@victoriablue815]

Thank youuu☺️

[@victoriablue815]

Thank you so much💙

[@vonrunner]

@@victoriablue815 How about "We're the Blues" for the channel name? Just read your comment and thought that was kind of a cool/unique channel name. "The Blues" and "Cody & Victoria" that you mentioned in the video are both cool too. You guys have been killing it with the videos lately, cheers!

[@victoriablue815]

@@vonrunner Thank you so much for watching and supporting us! We feel like we should use our last names in some creative way because, you know, Blue is a really cool name! We also want the name to feel personal like all of you guys are our friends☺️ soooo I guess you'll see what we come up with sometime in the next few videos😘

[@jackiemartin4864]

Fifty years ago my brother and two buddies backpacked the Trinity Alps Wilderness. They didn’t take pictures and I’ve never seen how beautiful it is there until now. Thanks. And congratulations on the marriage!

[@codyandvictoria]

It is amazing out there :) glad we could bring some of the scenery to your home

[@LiveHardxLoveHard]

Congrats on the marriage you guys! So glad you were able to find your perfect way to get married in this crazy time. Covid definitely threw a monkey wrench in our wedding plans, so we're just enjoying another year of being engaged. The most important and greatest blessing of all is finding your adventure partner for life. That's a true gift!

[@RyanMetcalfePGA]

It's always nice to see people happy

[@codyandvictoria]

That's the truth!

[@Maldonado.cossio]

Are you the sweetest mountain couple on KZbin? I think you are. If I don't get something like this I want NOTHING. CONGRATS!

[@Jay_Crew]

Congrats guys 🤙 “Blue Skies” “Outdoor Blues” “The Blues” “Blue Outdoors” “Couple Blues” “C V Blue” Today’s climate “CoVic Blues” 😉

[@Luke-JH]

I like Blue Skies that's a cool name

[@VolksWagando]

CONGRATULATIONS CODY & VICTORIA! The moment Cody said "...my wife" I was like: When did that happen? So glad for both of you. I started following you cause of video skill stuff but stayed cause you're an inspiration to small filmmakers/youtubers/vloggers like me. Learned a lot from you. Many blessings in your marriage and keep those videos coming!

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks a whole lot man! We really appreciate it. Switching to the couple's channel was a bit of a risk but I'm hoping it pans out. Thanks for sticking around

[@VolksWagando]

@@codyandvictoria there's a lot at stake but I know you'll be fine and people like your content cause is fun, entertaining and useful in many ways. I also vlog with my wife and sometimes is kinda tense but it always ends up being a lot of fun.

[@MichalOlender]

Congrats on the marriage guys! When it comes to the name of that channel, I do like The Blues as majority of the people in the comments, but I also feel that if you'll change it to Cody & Victoria Blues, there is so much more information in that name. People will know that there are 2 main characters, that they're married, and what their names are. Good luck and enjoy being Mr. & Mrs Blue. .... Mr. & Mrs Blue sounds cool too!

[@ryans6699]

This trail kicks your ass. A brutal trinity hike

[@billysauerlandphotography8936]

Yay! Congrats!! Many years of happy trails.

[@RoyallVisuals]

I love the new direction that the channel has gone in, Victoria has helped it grow into what it is now, I think a new name including Victoria would be fitting. What about The Hiking Blues? Congrats on the wedding

[@yovash]

For me Cody & Victoria sounds so so great for channel. Congrats guys! Happy marriage!

[@joshtheintern]

Stunning hike and love the way you capture your travels together, cinematic but also raw, awesome mix

[@flameemperor888]

Congrats guys stay healthy and in love, you look awesome together. Cody & Victoria Adventures The Blues Outdoor Trails of Blue / Trail of Blues More power to the channel.

[@ScottAllshouse]

Good to hear you enjoyed the Trinity Alps. I hope you come back. There’s a lot more to see. You’re right, the lakes can get busy on the weekends. You’ll find some wonderful camps in the meadows on the way to the lakes. Stop there with ice cold spring water then day hike the lakes. Have fun out there!

[@BigBeauBrown]

Congrats guys! Also the audio in this video is so crispy

[@codyandvictoria]

Appreciate it man! Seems a lot of people are noticing the audio

[@vlaaady]

Nice to recap that adventure. I remember when I got married I was barefoot, in front of a tipi and there were only 12 guests. So congrats on your Blue-style marriage again!

[@codyandvictoria]

Wow how beautiful. I'm sure it was a day that you two will never forget🥰

[@gidokrom]

Yeah dude you should definitely change the channel name! Your girl earned the spot 😋 In my opinion you just have to keep it simple with 'Cody and Victoria'.

[@victoriablue815]

"It's your girl, Victoria Blue"😂 Thanks Gido! I agree💙

Great for you!!! Hallo from Greece!!! I pick the simple "Cody Blue Family" name ,cause soon or later we'll see a baby at backpacking!!! I wish you the best and most important is to be together for ever!! Soul mates are hard to find!! Keep up ,i believe to you!!

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

The Blues. 👍 and congrats on your marriage.

[@AngieyAntonio]

Congratulations guys! You are such a nice couple. we like "The Blues" We learn a lot from your videos! thanks for everything you share!

[@captnb8036]

My Dad and I used to take groups of 7-12th graders into the Trinity Alps for years on 1 week long trips. Absolutely beautiful area.

[@rodderoon]

the hikes in that national forest are tough but the lakes and the beauty make it super worth the effort, I think Lassen might get similar in elevation. If you own a 4x4 the logging trails are fair game too. The surrounding areas are also way more secluded and accessible than the redwoods/ six rivers... l try go back before the summer ends.

[@woonglee7066]

I like the sound of "The blues". I am very happy for you two! Congrats on the marriage. -From South Korea.

[@Castellanos334]

Congratulations, may God bless the rest of your days together. I just stumbled on to your Chanel. I think the Chanel's name should reflect your adventures together as husband and wife. It should also be a name that is meaningful to the both of you

"The moments of The Blues/The Blues' Moments/The Blues' trails" Kraig and you two are my two favorite channels when it comes to hiking. Always nice to get away for a few minutes watching your videos while being stuck in a NY apartment. And ofc, Congrats lovebirds!(Oo... The Bluebirds?)🥳🥂 Cheers, Chris

For your next trip out there, definitely check out Caribou Lakes and #1 Grizzly in mid to late June while the waterfalls are still gushing but the snow is melted out on the north end of the park. So stinking beautiful. There is a moon hole in the mountain side at Caribou that needs to be droned ;D it's taunting. Glad you legends had a great time.

[@EarlyDawnTravels]

Cody Blue You guys have to be working out though. We do Orange Theory and haven’t been back either. I love your new hiking videos. There’s something so peaceful about being in nature while all this COVID chaos goes on around us. My wife and I each lost a grandma this summer to COVID, and I’ve found your videos (and Kraig Adams hiking videos) the perfect escapism from all of it. Congrats to you and Victoria, you guys make an awesome couple.

[@codyandvictoria]

Yeah we just bike and climb and what not. Try to stay active. Sorry about the grandma. We lost one recently as well but not to Covid fortunately. Wishing you the best and hope you get out there soon

What a place you guys went, beautiful...👌🏻

[@llvg4229]

I only live about an hour east of here but I love this place! I would go on the smaller hikes growing up but I want to start getting out more into the more challenging hikes! Very Beautiful area, glad yall were able to go up there and show some of the world this amazing place! PS: If you ever come back here I would highly recommend going to Grizzly Lake in the late spring. It wont be so hot and more snow will be left on it, also it has a 100 foot waterfall coming out of the lake. its like 17 miles round trip though so it would definitely be a long hike but I think the one you did here might have been longer.

[@codyandvictoria]

That's so awesome!! When we were looking for a place to backpack around here, Grizzly Lake was a hike that we tossed around! Looks a little challenging but we'll have to go back eventually and check that one out! -V
