Pictured Rocks Lakeshore in 4K | Fall Camping, Hiking, and Backpacking in the Upper Peninsula

[@Quadmonium]

Let me tell you something. There are very few hour-long youtube videos that I will watch all the way through and this channel has all of them! I want to thank Robby, Bryan, and Andrew for making the BEST hiking videos on all of youtube. You have managed to most closely recreate the feelings, scenery, and emotions that hikers experience when on the trail. Thanks again for the immersive experience. If you ever are in south-west Ohio, shoot me a message. I'd love to meet up for a hike. ps. Thanks Thomas, I didn't forget you!

[@DemetriosLevi]

That was the most incredible, beautifully edited, cinematic, emotion filled nature video I've ever seen. You guys did the Pictured Rocks justice like no other. You managed to capture the feeling I had when I went up there over 10 years ago. It's not like other videos where it just feels like a typical American hike; you guys captured that ancient feeling it has where it feels like you are discovering it for the first time. You guys really showed what an *adventure* feels like. Absolutely beautiful; I didn't want the video to end. Bravo

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for your comment on our video! Sorry we never responded but this means a lot to us!

[@DemetriosLevi]

@@AdventureArchives hahaha no big deal! I applaud you for actually responding! This channel is just as awesone now as it was when I found it a year ago

[@m.u.l.esociety2877]

This is amazing! In my Native American culture, the fox reveals itself during times of great and unpredictable change. It resembles heightened sense of awareness and compels you to turn up your own senses, gather the information you need, and act swiftly on your decision. This is astounding because you came upon a fox during the season of change, as well as your conversation of character development.

[@AdventureArchives]

That is amazing! Thank you for sharing this, it gives me an even greater appreciation our encounter with the Fox that evening :)

[@uptrail7169]

We had to watch your Pictured Rocks video again!! Excellent job again with the video quality, editing, and narration. We really enjoyed meeting and camping with you guys! Bob

[@michiganjfrog366]

I am born and raised in Michigan my whole life... never left Michigan, never will leave. I'll take a pine tree over a palm tree any day. That is my motto and I tell anyone that will listen. thank you for this beautiful video.

[@dmn3773]

well I guess I am calling out of work today, I need this in my life.

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha well shoot, thank you! You deserve the day off, I say ;) -Andrew

[@jblease]

I got my degree in photography in Marquette, MI over 35 years ago and lived about 2 blocks from Lake Superior. I live down state now and your videos bring me back to one of the most beautiful places I've ever lived in. I sometimes just have your videos playing in the background as I go through my day. Thank you for bringing me back. BTW- wonderful photography.

[@st2778]

No words for this one...and yet so many words. I'm stunned by this epic video of an unexpected treasure.

[@JoshEkberg]

Fall hiking is hard to beat in the midwest. Beautiful colors and no mosquitos! The landscape here at Pictured Rocks is unique. In most parts of the world where you will find rocky shoreline, the cliffs are not covered with old growth forest bursting with beautiful autumn color as well as lush green in the summer. What I enjoy about this video is you guys take the time to stop and enjoy nature on a more granular level. Other hiking videos I've seen, they sort of just put their heads down and soldier on to the next campsite, trying to rack up as many miles as they can each day. But it seems like you guys really "get" what being out in the wilderness is all about.

[@loricrandall862]

Thank you so much for this video. It was amazing! I am a widow at 63 yrs. old and this is on my bucket list. After watching this video I have decided to put a plan of action moving forward. It might be the senior version, but I will finish. This is by far the best video on hiking Pictured Rocks. I really appreciated all of your knowledge of plants and trees. You cooked amazing meals, not what I expected. The best part was when you both jumped into Lake Superior. Oh my, I know how cold that water is, but it is irresistable. Again, great job!

[@stephaniesmith7317]

Looks like we all agree on this... Adventure Archives has the best content in all of KZbin. Each time I am so happy they came up in my feed. I'm late to the party but, I get to binge-watch episodes! These boys have captured something magical. Serious level of excellence in cinematography, & musical accompaniment. Sitting around the fire at night opening our own inner musings... The hikes are so enjoyable it's the closest I've felt to my own experiences. Andrew, Bryan, Robby, Thomas thank you for inviting us along. 🏞⛰⛺

[@Patrick-ln8qr]

Gentlemen, in my opinion you set the standard for KZbin when it comes to your filming and post production. This was another excellent video. My wife was ill this past fall (but is better now thankfully), and so I didn't get to hike and see the colors, so I kind of lived vicariously through you all throughout this video. Thanks for sharing this trip.

[@dalewilliams8001]

Patrick, I am ill, and was just thinking how I was also living vicariously through them. Yeah, THANK YOU guys.....

[@ZiggiWillpower]

You guys I actually cried while watching this, it was THAT stunning! The editing, music, filming, narration - all so, so incredibly harmonious and beautiful. I love your work from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for creating these videos, they inspire me to go out hiking, and provide a welcome break from the macho, "roughing it", ultra-light-super-fast type vloggers out there.

[@jayabadola2689]

As I study for my Nursing Boards, I made sure to leave this video as a "treat" to watch later. I am so glad I did! From the way you gentlemen capture nature to your intimate campfire convos, I feel as if I have escaped my stressful day to be a part of the journey with you--yet on another awesome adventure, well-done guys! :)

[@jonallenoutside]

Me: "No way am I watching a one hour video". One hour later..."That video was AWESOME!" Great job guys. Love your work.

[@hbuhguyg]

The sadness I feel at the end of your videos is achingly tough to get over with. You guys are truly an inspiration and a treat to watch.

[@audr1enlive]

all of your videos are each their own wonderful movie

[@codygingerr3505]

I had a surgery last Friday and I am supposed to be out of work for 2 weeks. I thought I will find myself binging on netflix, books, app games etc but nope, I can’t stop watching your episodes and still have a long way to go and not only that, I am also watching Robby Huang solo short vids as well. What I am trying to say is, you guys kept me entertain and so enlightening to watch. Please keep it up! 👍❤️☺️

[@jk-vs3yq]

Best video iv seen on pictured rock great job editing and filming

[@2venicebeach]

This was a happy accident landing on your hiking vid this a.m…engaging content enhanced by quality sound, narrative, as well as thoughtful video. Philosophical too: “Everything in moderation; including moderation”. ;)

[@johnnyappleseed6960]

The Bear Trap.....by far the best Pasties in the state of Michigan. Excellent choice after such a great hike!

[@AdventureArchives]

We had a great guide (Uptrail71) to show us where to go! It was awesome being in the upper peninsula. Such a cool and beautiful area. Cheers! -Andrew

[@johnnyappleseed6960]

@@AdventureArchives Yes, an absolutely beautiful place to go on an adventure.....We love it everytime we get a chance to go. Like you guys said, the natural ambiance and beauty of the place just doesnt quit. ...The wife and I love uptrails videos, but yours give us a nice peaceful hour together broadcasting onto the TV. She inparticular, just loves the native plant knowledge and explanations....Thumbs up!

[@audieo575]

There is no word to describe the videography, narration, and presentation... soothingly splendid!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching :)

[@bethanydueweke7492]

I am blown away, this was seriously one of the most amazing videos I have ever watched on KZbin, I enjoyed it as much as a David Attenborough doc! So so good!!

[@jodyalbro6465]

Hands down my FAVORITE you've ever done! Want this place on my bucket list 😍

[@ronaldbetzig6496]

What a beautiful adventure, so brilliantly captured in this video. My wife and I can't wait to go to the UP next week! God bless you guys.

[@paulapaularaejohnson]

So stunning and captured so beautifully!!

[@karenfall8685]

I’ve been coming back to this video over & over the last year or so. It’s my therapy. I love this hike & the way you describe the feeling of being there. You put into words exactly how feel when I visit the trails & forests in Munising. AKA Gods Country

[@AdventureArchives]

Pictured rocks is definitely in my top 3 locations to go camping!

[@charlene1168]

I love when you stop and eat and then have deep conversations. So good 👍

Absolutely spectacular. I got a little tears watching you three sitting in a golden cathedral quietly at the end before going back to your truck!

Connection with nature in your videos is incredible. !

The cinematography and editing of this entry into the archives is absolutely insane!

Just found you guys and man, I'm hooked and I'm on a binge right now. The production quality and story telling/narration is just too good. Keep up this content and you guys are definitely going to earn more and more subscribers. Hope to see you guys at 100k!

[@michelewuetrich2012]

I've watched a lot of videos about the UP in anticipation of a vacation there. Your video is, by far, the best I've seen. Saw lots of places from a different angle, so they weren't repetitious.

[@travisward8319]

"It tastes like the way the hotel smells in the morning." That's some honesty right there.

[@joanneripley2256]

Omg... .I love your voice..so soothng and comforting...making the spectacular video and landscape is awesome...

[@dwallich56]

Absolutely remarkable cinematography. Well written, well filmed, nicely edited, and very well produced. Everytime I feel like I have seen what is worth seeing on KZbin about backpacking in my home of Michigan, I am most pleasantly surprised (and astounded, in this case). Beauty and magic in one video. Very nice, AA. Thank you.

[@breebrady3826]

Great documentary guys! I couldn’t stop watching and I only live a few hours away from the UP ! I never knew ! Thank u for going and filming cuz now I’m gonna go check it out !

Awesome video of chapel/mosquito loop. We just hiked that yesterday and I will tell you even your awesome video does not do justice as to how beautiful the water and the sandstones are. You have to be there in person to appreciate the beautiful of this creation.

[@JoshHerodOutdoorAdventures]

This is one of my favorite places. The Pictured Rocks is a beautiful place. Great job on the video

[@dominicr5516]

Wow, your camera work is awesome. Your very knowledgeable about the flora. Botanists? You are truly living.

[@karenpacker8862]

Never get bored of Pictured Rocks especially the fall colors and surrounding area!!!

[@StarMountainHikes]

I happen to feel like this is your best video yet. Your cinematography is still improving little by little on every video and becoming more and more Nat Geo in quality. I also appreciate the music and narration and see improvement it that too. I hope that someday I can bring the quality of my stuff up to your level. Good job guys. Your best video yet!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I sat in awe watching this video and with your narration I felt like I was standing on the shoreline with you and breathing that incredible lake shore air. I grew up in Ohio and used to drive up to Lake Erie with my buddies to enjoy the beauty there...just wish we had kept on driving where you filmed this video. Your collective philosophies of the outdoors is so immensely enjoyable to listen to and do. I always have two backpacks ready; one for hammock and one for tent camping. Your video inspires me...ROAD TRIP!

[@rattlebangbus3449]

I am so impressed with the quality of your video. I love that you pointed out the various plants and the wildlife. It's the slower pace of a hike that allows us to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Looking forward to more videos like this.

[@cynthiaschwartz559]

Just watched all your videos, loved everyone of them. We actually backtracked Picture Rocks last year and was attacked by black flies. After three days and 32 miles in, we had to hike out. It is a beautiful place, going back agian over Memorial day. Hoping for no flies.

[@matthewritter2585]

Warmed my heart at the end seeing the bear trap. Ive spent many summers there with my grandparents. The mushroom thing was made by my grandparents neighbor Leo. The ducks were carved by Tom sugars just down the road...

Love this video of Picture Rock National Forest. This area of Lake Superior, brings my childhood memories of my Dad and me camping. This was our favorite area to camp. This was back in the mid 1970's. Now that I'm in my 60's and live in Southwest, I'm going back. Thanks for great videos.

One of the best videos yet! Love how you guys capture the senses, and feeling of the human spirit through discovery and appreciation for nature. The video editing is among the best I've ever seen. Love how you guys stay true to the actual tone and color of the nature around you, understanding that over saturation is unnecessary and false. Always thankful for the mental vacations you guys provide us.Thank you for taking time out of your lives to make ours better! May your continued endeavors hold many blessings!

Thanks guys for bringing back some great memories! I’ve hiked/backpacked pictured rocks 3 times. The first 2 in late October, early November, like you. Can’t believe you went swimming in Lake Superior! You’re made of heartier stock than I! One time I was there in early October. The place was full of these little biting demons the locals called “stable flies”. Truly made life miserable so I’d recommend maybe calling ahead and asking the rangers about the stable flies as part of your trip planning. Now you’ve got me thinking about going back this fall!

[@indycharlie]

Was there 4 yrs ago and when we were on the beaches and not in the water those things HURT and brought blood !! I mean running blood !! We tried all the repellents we had with zero working . NEVER again when these Ba#@ards are out !!! Also .The woods actually hummed at night with mosquitos . Head nets were NOT an option !!! Have fun PM , be safe and watch out for those blood bringing demons !!!!!!!!!

Majestic lake shores with turquoise water, magical woodland creeks, paths covered in colourful autumn leaves, mysterious swamp landscapes, and foxes, squirrels, falcons altogether creating a fairyland feeling, a welcoming, friendly sanctuary, and you have captured this magical feeling so perfectly! This hike was less an endurance test but rather a beautiful dance in the loving embrace of nature. Thank you so much, Robby, Andrew and Bryan, for sharing this amazing experience with us!! Each video of yours is a true work of art, and you being so lovely and genuine makes watching your adventures even more beautiful.

I was half expecting to see the second sun in the sunset shot, as you guys exit Tatooine on your way to Cloud City :) Sooooo good!!! - Jim
