Sunrise on Mount MacFarlane

[@petemichael4512]

Maybe it's because I'm in the last phase of my life or maybe it's because I was born and raised in the northwest and it is such a part of me, but what you show me reaches into my heart and soul. Usually it elicits a very emotional response. It seems to be a more prevalent response now than when I was a young man. You take me to these places because of your determination, stamina and physical condition and it becomes personal - the shock of diving into an ice cold lake- the magnificent peaks and "layers" of mountains - the camaraderie of friends - the devoted bond between a man and his dog. All this is good therapy for us all and Luke, I say thank you.

[@lifeofluke]

Much appreciated Pete, I'm glad you notice all the same factors that I love of the mountains and PNW! I'm sure you are also reminiscing on your own experiences in the mountains.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Miguel!

[@bengt_axle]

Nina is absolutely the smartest dog. She even knows when to jump into the water at the same time you guys do (2:21)! And what a spectacular location.

[@Crittermoto]

Just wow!

[@randtimmer1213]

Great video! I did the lower lake in early spring...but the upper lake and summit look amazing. You have motivated me to get up there before the snow flies. Keep up the awesome work...love your content.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Rand! For sure, it's worth it

[@katarinaivancevic6917]

Living vicariously through these videos! Awesome stuff

[@lifeofluke]

[@bmarie8939]

Hi there from Sacramento, California. I just came upon your channel and your videos are absolutely beautiful. Nina is so adorable. I'm a new subscriber.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks very much!

[@599miata]

👍👍👍 Luke.

[@luckyme398]

Amazing views ! Awesome video

[@rockymountainroughridersofMT.]

Top Notch video work Luke, always amazing and stunning !!!

[@ghensold]

That section of the North Cascades right around the border is a 10/10 on the badass-o-meter. Incredible footage as always.

[@jasondunlap4942]

Awesome!

[@Ron-kn6ur]

Nice vid. I've been to the upper lake twice but not up to the peak. Looks fantastic especially during the early morning light. I'm always leery about leaving my vehicle in that parking lot, especially overnight, since cars have been vandalized. About sasquatches. I've been up Chilliwack Valley about 200 times since I moved here and haven't seen any. I solo hike quietly and wander off into the bush a lot. So far, no evidence of any.....yet.

[@robertmcnew9381]

beautiful view , i want to some canadian mountains myself . hope the border opens soon . i live in ohio , nothing like that here .

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Robert, I also hope the border opens, it's been over a year!

[@es1263]

BEUATIFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christophermercer3902]

Love your videos man

[@jelouiepagarigan682]

One of the best and underrated hikes that i did. This is really hard but ine of the best views that ive seen.

[@justinh8321]

I only managed to get to lower pierce lake last year this video has sparked a flame I gotta make it to the top next time.

[@danny_canuck]

If you are still in the valley you could make a push for Widgeon either from the Burk ridge or the shorter way from widgeon marsh. Also widgeon lake is in the area too. As usual a fantastic vid with amazing views of the upper cascade mountains. awesome work

[@curtbrown8359]

Wow thanks Luke for another amazing video! I’m always looking forward to seeing your next adventure in Beautiful BC🤟🏻😀

[@emilyrivera4140]

thanks sir Luke dahil sayo nakita rin namin ang ganda ng ibang bansa.thank you .GOD BLESS.

[@dieselduce]

Thanks for another great look at your end of the country.love to save your videos for Sunday afternoons while relaxing between morning and evening service. God bless and keep your travels safe.

[@whitesalmon0925]

Was there last year, it is definitely one of my favourites.

[@lifeofluke]

Awesome, ya, it is a beautiful spot!

[@Crafty137]

These videos are remarkably motivational. Your whole channel just sparks a fire in me that makes me want to work so hard to achieve my dreams in cinema/film. Thank you so much for uploading these as they inspire so many others, im sure of it.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks a ton, and I'm glad my videos inspire you!

[@greg1244]

This Kent guy is STEISED

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Came here to smash the like button, Amazing B Roll use in the video and a incredible way to tell the story of your adventure

[@ruyixiaoguozi]

This is such a great video Luke! Thanks for showing me something that I'm incapable of reaching at this point of my life!

[@digitalmemories]

Wow very nice video. I just found out about this hike on a fb group. I searched it on KZbin and found your video and after seeing how beautiful it is up there, it's definitely on my "to do" list now. Thanks for sharing. SUBSCRIBE

[@lifeofluke]

Thank you sir!

[@richardkaz2336]

It has such a crisp beauty and I really appreciate your efforts in documenting your journeys. That water must have been heart stopping cold. I expected you both coming out with squeaky voices.

[@lifeofluke]

Oh for sure! But I love cold water on sore muscles after a strenuous climb.

[@phatmasterc]

Great video! I've done that exact trip. Hike, swim, and summit for sunrise. Thanks for bringing back the memories! What an awesome place to be. Definitely jello knees by the end of it lol

[@madx3937]

+++ looks quite unreal (above the summit) +++ georgeous, thanks for taking us with you to this wonderfull hike

[@angelaz2903]

Amazing place and great video

[@jaswan79]

This is one of my favorite hikes you have shown. Man that was beautiful

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Jason!

[@Kimbeattie]

Another great video, thanks for this one. YOUR VIDEOS ARE TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.

[@fuzzheadtf]

What kind of pants is your brother using here on this hike?? They look like graat mountain pants. Amazing video Luke!!

[@lifeofluke]

They are Fjallraven pants, I don't know which ones.

[@frankyensan]

Yes…. More Luke

[@BM-qi4ig]

Great video

[@edwoo7023]

Hey great vid been wanting to do this hike as an overnighter. What time of year did you do this hike? I hate mosquitoes 😮

[@lifeofluke]

This was in July. If you don't like mosquitoes, better go up there in winter, because bugs are just part of being in the mountains in summer.

[@edwoo7023]

@@lifeofluke Ok Thanx figured so

[@rickrayn]

I had wanted to do a traverse from Sleese via Crossover and out through Pierce Lake but no one in the BCMC offered to come. Oh well.

[@gregorykurst6565]

How was it for the dog on the steep scrambles?! I wanna bring my boy when I go

[@lifeofluke]

If I remember correctly, most of it wasn't that steep and my dog didn't need much help at all. I might have boosted her once or twice

[@livingourdestiny9075]

For the algorithm

[@WhereKentWent]

No way your brother's name is Kent? That's my name. Great name!

[@skilmer]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tammyvincent9417]

In Canada do you still call the region the PNW? It seems that it would be the Canadian southwest.

[@trentk7525]

My ankles ache watching little bro hike in sneakers...... to be 21 again

[@Mr.Death101]

I see the beginning of a brokeback mountain storyline

[@lifeofluke]

you can see whatever you want to see

[@willjensen5595]

What?

[@notoliver8583]

Trolls gonna troll.

[@eatshootdrive]

It is always good to 'not dodge shells as you're hiking up a mountain' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
