[@davidread236]

I've been waiting 1800 miles to see your response to Crater Lake. Epic, life changing.

[@kimkranz9764]

Crater lake is magical! When we saw it, it was completely rimmed by snow. Amazing

[@AJKPenguin]

That's about the best time to visit.

[@offtrailadventures6500]

I have successfully watched the first 46 videos of this hike in a 24-hour period. It has been fun watching you and Rainn Wilson go through the ups and downs of the PCT.

[@claramullen]

Fun fact there is a 30 foot log floating in Crater Lake vertically since 1896 it is called the old man. It is so strang to see.

[@RegrettablyLongwinded]

Very cool! Had to look this up as a fellow fun fact connoisseur. The log has been floating about since at least the 1890s, and travels average of 2/3rds of a mile per day. Now I want to see it one day 😁

[@Buffalo_NY]

Thank you for allowing me to walk the PCT and AT with you

[@j.stephens257]

1800 miles and counting! Loved the butterflies,frog(?) and dragonflies. Crater Lake is so gorgeous.. thanks!!! Safe travels.

[@danielhowell6605]

You can get ointment with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) so you can apply it at the bite. That and/or cortisone might be worth carrying.

[@robertjaycox8488]

Yep, Crater Lake doesn't even look real the first time seeing it, it is that beautiful

[@steve-v3c]

hey fellas- Steveinsisters = Digging the updates. What an inspiration. You both asked me if I was planning do the PCT-- Im gonna get set to do Santim to timberline end of august My wife and sister will likely support me doing the entire PCT next yr. Guys- I cant deny the universe providing that day I met you Im so grateful So greatful

[@michellegurdebeke5552]

Love seeing a smile on your faces!! Crater Lake is beautiful!!

[@gregharmon3797]

Crater lake is unbelievably beautiful. You’re doing great !!!

[@davidburns585]

I’ve watched all of your PCT videos to date while recovering from surgery. Awesome journey. Love the intro/outro chimes. Crazy how we at home can peer into your adventure. Modern times, technology is wonderful

[@davideverett5214]

Trails switch back to minimize erosion!

[@JohnBurdette-or7if]

Absolutely beautiful country

[@JamieKrause86]

Definitely beauty at its finest!

[@angelusway]

Erosion control would be my guess, that is why there are switchbacks. Best of luck to you👍🤙!

[@billeshelman4640]

Thx for the great footage! You mentioned something about why the trail is not more "direct" rather than meandering around for what seems no good reason. The reason might be to avoid steeper grades so that the trail does not erode as much from rain.

[@potatothorn]

erosion control and graded for easier hiking and possibly horses also yes

[@lolobeans]

Loved this segment! STUNNİNG views again. "Better than pond" made me lol so thanks for that! 1800 seems like a big milestone, hurray! İt's certainly possible to develop allergies later in life btw (my bro in law became very allergic to wasps stings in his mid 40s), might want to get tested once you're home.

[@donavinhikes816]

Took kids on vacation end of June to Crater lake. Stayed at Diamond lake. What a great time.

[@davida.dickey6834]

hey Frozen crater lake we visited in 2019 my umpire buddy got chosen to umpire portland little league softball world series..crater lake memories..this is one great place to visit..you and bigfoot safe journey..tks for the video

[@judylord4875]

Crater Lake, just wow, so beautiful!

[@davefox1553]

Was at Crater Lake many years ago. Life changing is so true. It's impossible to explain or have it come across on camera. It's almost like an alien landscape.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

This trail really has some beautiful views.🌻

[@jakesterling2190]

I'm really happy for you that you got to see Crater Lake, it's one of those things you just can't comprehend unless you see it in person (sort of like Zion or the Grand Canyon.) I have very fond memories of taking my kids camping and hiking around the rim.

[@karenanddogs6645]

The huge and beautiful Crater Lake Lodge was where most pct hikers ate/stayed/resupplied a few years back but I know there was a big fire there some years ago so it must not be there anymore, 😭 Maybe Mazama Village is the rebuild of the old lodge. Someone out there probably knows. Anyhow, I am sorry you didn't get to go there Frozen. But just seeing that lake is really the big deal. I must get back there one day soon! Hope you have a great time there!

[@livesoutdoors1708]

If you check online it’s still there taking reservations.

[@BnORailFan]

The water cache on the north side of Crater Lake was my first time walking on the PCT. I only walked about a 100 yards of it but I did! A few days later I hiked about 10 miles of the PCT in Washington.

[@norale9985]

Next time in town get some topical Benadryl

[@RyanSchell]

To have an epic experience like that of a beautiful place like crater lake, then stop to think you got there starting in Mexico. 🤯

[@MISCIFMAKER]

Funny you say this about crater , just fired Last contractor's running into ground . Nice to hear it's back in shape , fyi been thri in winter plowed rds have 15ft walls of snow In triple digits no my HD like RIDEN 🎉 in AC HAPPY TRAILS

[@Lewman211]

Crater Lake info: The lake has an area of 20 square miles, the crater 27 square miles. The greatest diameter of the lake is 6 miles, the shoreline circumference being approximately 20 miles. The lake, sounded in 1886, has a maximum depth of 1,996 feet.

[@fitcwebb]

sounded?

[@icepick6270]

Sounded means that it was measured in 1886 ​@@fitcwebb

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Kids go to Wizard island on the tour boat for FREE!

[@Wanderinginthewilds]

So beautiful what an amazing experience 👍👍✌️🤙

[@bernielamont825]

Hey Jason, compared to PA trails, sections of the trail look like Interstste 80, no rocks or roots. Thats gotta make for some cruisin'! Keep killing it guys.

[@woodchip2782]

I may reply for nothing but concerning the curves in the trail, when it was traced many years ago, there may have been huge trees blocking the way or bushes of some kind that required attention. A trail follows the least destructive way. Fires may also cause changes in the trail. Just enjoy it!😊 That’s was hiking is all about…

[@potatothorn]

those are all part of it plus as others said/ erosion control. the rains would make a straight trail into a canyon

[@joepeters5796]

I was really looking forward to your visit to Crater Lake ... Was a great place to reunite with classmates from years ago. Oddly, we never saw it when we lived in Oregon. Unbelievable sight... Highly recommend for your dad!!

[@Patrick-ln8qr]

That scenery was fantastic. Thank you for continuing to bring us all along on this hike and sharing beauty like this with us all.

[@MISCIFMAKER]

So lucky as of today 29th i think 50 % oregon pct s. Of crater all getn clsd dwn screw permit you won't need it 🎉

[@brucesmith9144]

Crater Lake is awesome. The year I visited, the rim drive was partially closed due to snow. And yet, it was mid-July. Saw it last on a flight from LAX -> PVG. Really cool from the air. But your hike looks like a better way to visit there.

[@vxnova1]

Benadryl is a first gen antihistamine, 2nd gen stuff have much less side effects like Zyrtec, etc,

[@biker_trash922]

Woohoo! Yes crater lake is epic!

[@sherryfeltner1930]

So pretty ❤

[@dianehess2857]

I’m glad to hear you say that you are going to hike Eagle Creek & Tunnel Falls. That is a wonderful place,

[@anninwhack1998]

WOW! Hope you have an amazing time in OR! When was the last time you hiked in the rain?

[@AJKPenguin]

Wonderful! The deepest lake in the USA, and the Continent! Hattip you two on 1800!

[@michaelhorstman4911]

Crater Lake deepest body of water in US I think.

[@BOF7431]

809 miles left to go, hopefully you'll get past the fires that Kyle was hesitant about, for going thru WA. I got stuck at a Nat'l Monument area near Astoria last SEP, by a hornet. The staff at the desk gave me a little repellent sting kit. It took about 3-4 weeks to heal up.

[@AJKPenguin]

He probably will.

[@PSUhorty1]

Thank you!

[@dcaudwell]

Those butterflies at 4:30 ish are very special - some sort of Apollo species, probably American Apollo, only found at altitude. Nice!

[@endokin6484]

Gotta say it, some of my fav parts of your AT thruhike were seeing the towns as you went through them a bit more. In this vid around 11:35, you go from the trail, to the shot of the brown wall, to the food layout and back to the trail. Just a weird, too quick sequence and If anything less time just seeing you walk the trail a bit would be better. Still just small critique, thanx as always. Crater lake looked awesome though!

[@vintageracing5009]

You are hillarious Frozen! Keep smiling!

[@sherryfeltner1930]

I read that crater lake is a astroid impact site from a really long time ago

[@kenbaker4528]

Volcano

[@maryhairy1]

Crater Lake! What views! Wow!

[@debbieblock7248]

Absolutely stunning scenery.

[@kmcgoeshiking27]

Great scenery , crater lake is beyond words!!! Oregon is going to be incredible!!!thanks for the awesome video!!

[@GivePeaceAChance12]

I love the variety of colors shown off by sunrises and sunsets! PCT route may have to do with water run off in bad years?wow 1800, over 2/3 accomplished!! Gorgeous sunset!!! Lol the really hard parts makes one appreciate the easier! Did the volcano lose over 100 feet when it exploded?

[@vernaclevinger5716]

You've come a long way. Alternate routes still have you walking from Mexico to Canada, you just get to choose your views. You chose well.

[@pmm1044]

Wait till you get to Goat Rocks, Central and North Cascades… hopefully

[@jaymenna]

Go!

[@shirleyfoley9155]

Thanks!

[@potatothorn]

doesn't go to water sources/ haha what sources? no rain = no water yeah there really aren't many ways to fix that unfortunately until you get to WA maybe where it rains a little more.... got to love Crater Lake being so far above the water though, right there but no easy way to drink it... so cool you hike up to and around the Lake, what a great experience. West Coast people dont litter much at these Parks other than to leave TP on trails (yuck) but people really do try ... almost caught up now i head into Yosemite and Death Valley for another week. i'll assume your hike is going well, i'll be back for more videos in a week or so...

[@FrozensAdventures]

There seem to actually be plenty in the valleys, even better still, if you zoom out on FarOut or use google maps there are many lakes and ponds that the PCT doesn't visit that even PCT hikers go off trail to collect.

[@potatothorn]

@@FrozensAdventures i think it also has to do with it being the Crest trail ....

[@Wanderinginthewilds]

800 to go!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍✌️🤙

[@jeffpeters5347]

Maybe fill that blister with some antibiotic ointment before covering it with Leukotape?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yea I did soap and then Neosporin then a padded blister pack.

[@bearanoia673]

🐻🌲

[@SmokeyDukems]

You don’t get that type of costumer service with Nemo. Holy crap they suck. It’s been 3 weeks and I still haven’t gotten a payment option from them for new tent poles. Emailing back and forth for 3 weeks. Nemo CS is turds

[@biker_trash922]

Is that Mt Bachelor?

[@jays7318]

I hear of so many Zpacks baclpack failures, They may be airy and light, but way too fragile for the price

[@MISCIFMAKER]

Within sites of BEST PCT BUFFET, BLOW rt past pct days , plan doing hitch back do some zeros at pct camp on the island frer

[@The-Exicutioner]

Hey Frozen I wanted to let you know there is another person On youtube using your Name Outdoor Adventures.. That channel is all upper case letters. This other channel started about 3 weeks or so ago... Something you may want to get taken care of asap He will give your page a bad rap

[@KrawnKam]

I see you are only allowed to enter the lake with a bathing suit and nothing else, not even snorkeling gear.

[@potatothorn]

it is such a remote and clear lake they are not taking any chances with people bringing the snorkel they used on a Cruise in Crater Lake: To protect the clarity of the lake and decrease the possibility of introducing invasive species these items are not allowed in the lake: scuba and snorkeling gear.// there's no outlet, it's all rain and snow... very easy to spoil it

[@JordanAshby-k6r]

Curious, how are you liking the lightheart hoodie and how is it holding up? Thinking about getting one for my AT thru hike next year

[@j.stephens257]

Wondering the same.

[@jonsanford2515]

I have a LHG fleece hoodie that’s 3 or 4 years old. Not Alfa fleece, but microgrid. I live in it while I’m not at work from Fall through Spring. Other than minor wear at the cuffs and neck it still looks like new.

[@FrozensAdventures]

It's holding up great. One of my favorite pieces of gear.

[@TimBeaudet]

First comment, lets go!

[@HamishMackenzie7]

Bourbon? Should be back Bacon.

[@playtester6635]

Bourbon has to be made in the US. Canadian whiskey is its own category though. Often a bit too sweet for some

[@michaelcoons4247]

This guy whines about everything😂😂😂
