That night shot of the reflection of the mountains on the water was so awesome!

[@wandering_butnotlost]

Every time you've said I don't have much snow experience my brain responds with she will soon 😂

[@RickINFJ]

The FT definitely prepared you for roadwalkin'. 😂 The zoom on your camera is sweet! Take care and rest well ✌️

[@jamesmengel5818]

I’ve backpacked in Rocky Mountain National Park and Yellowstone! Now a friend and I are talking about section hiking the CDT with a bunch of 10 day trips for a couples years! A little at a time is better than none for sure! Thanks for the great content!

[@boat165]

I absolutely love this so much. I've been following you for a couple of years now and the CDT has the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. And your photog skills and your naration is second to none! What a gorgeous country we are lucky to live in. I've only seen this kind of beauty in photographs. Thank you for taking us all along. I live in NH which is a beautiful state, (think Mt. Washington and the Lakes Region), but nothing compares to this. Thanks again for bringing us all of this. It means so much!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. You guy's have put together an amazing tramily ..... Absolutely beautiful trail today ,, the sawtooth range was AWESOME ... Careful on the snowfields as you go ,, they're melting but the post holing can be hazardous .. Stay Safe ...

[@sdw2is]

Sawtooth Range is Idaho

[@nam_hn]

Totally worths all the expenses and suffering to be on the trail. Wising you and everyone a safe journey.

[@MattAustinonYouTube]

Man i'm an Arkansas guy through and through but you're really making a case for packing up and spending a summer in Montana...no bad views up there! I'm jealous.

[@kellyhays23]

It’s awesome here!!

[@pamelalynn3767]

Lots of sketchy snow. Glad you made it safely

[@Sovann-Chronicles]

You're amazing Kelly!🤙

[@johnwakefield9378]

Wow long hike considering snow for sure. Support Kelly she is a gem and big time hiker.

[@333jsh]

Hello! Been catching up on your hiking videos and I love your content! Good luck on your journey and keep having lots of fun(: the mountain views and snow are amazing!

[@Self_Proppelled]

You should get a chest mount or a head mount for your camera or phone so you can use both hands while you film. It looks sketchy sometimes.

[@soulproprietorDan]

Hi Kelly! I hope I don't sound too dorky, but I've followed you for a month or so & every day of the CDT. It's one of the first things I watch at the end of the day. I follow you daily, Hikingdancer, if you know her, she's on the PCT, & a woman doing the AT right now, which runs about ten miles from where I live, right near Harpers Ferry. I've been outside all my life, mostly just local & section hiking on the AT, but I've been away from anything strenous outside-beyond an hour strong walking every am- for the past 15 yrs after a couple of cancer surgeries. But I'm back hiking the AT, inspired by all of you, & I seriously thank you for video posting every day! You produce top quality video & interesting commentary. You look so strong, keep on truckin'!! You're going to go all the way. Happy hiking, & enjoy!!!

[@floridapatriot9776]

Thanks Kelly, I'm thoroughly enjoying this CDT content. I can't get over how beautiful it is. It's awesome that you are taking us along on this journey. I can tell you are loving it as well. Stay safe out there.

[@sapoverde65]

you were tested and survived , you looked so relieved that you did fall in the creek i bet it was really cold water .🥶

[@alanmooney3466]

Oh shit my wife and I were in the park the day the Into the Sun Road opened too! Loving your vids, keep it up!

[@robmechanic]

Wow that was a heck of a day! You guys rocked it.

[@onelovemon1784]

The reflection video is one of your best shots ever. Out of all trails

[@Lauraoutdoorz]

Beautiful!! Hope to check this out some day :) ❤

[@kristinedeuvall4379]

Kelly your videos are impossible to crochet to!! Lol. Scenery is so beautiful!

[@69josemanuel]

Good day and happy Sunday 😊

[@richardthorne2804]

Another great video and crazy hike 🎉❤…

[@RolandKrastins]

This is totally awesome video! Of course the super star is Glacier National Park! Mountains are incredible and rugged!😅

[@DavidAbreu7777]

I would love to see you add whitewater kayaking to your life ❤ chase the flow!

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

What a beginning!

[@twodogstudio2]

Yeah you deserve awards for this one - I love your other videos and these are different of course but so appreciated - keep up the great work we really love it out here in our respective worlds and don't ever worry about editing or how much time you might have to put into these we will LOVE them as you make them so please keep them coming it is the first thing I check for every time I turn on my computer.

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Love your attitude and your vulnerability with sketchy sections but you just keep smiling! A great experience for you and us as you take us along! Quite different from the AT!!!

[@mikaelica]

Fun to follow your hike and to see all amazing nature you have ”overthere” Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@jameshoneycutt7602]

It’s so absolutely beautiful where you’re hiking.

[@dispatchhikes]

I remember those showers and that restaurant. Our crew was based there in '14. Thx for sharing and bringing back good memories!

[@tt-of4xv]

It reminds me my first hot shower after backpacking 20 days with only ice cold water. Just crazy how good it can be.

[@randyerickson2154]

I feel like you need a 4k cam. It's so amazing and beautiful.

[@williamsaeger5883]

Kelly, great photography. Funny, I have not seen any glaciers in Glacier National Park. I was hoping to catch them b/4 they disappeared, I guess that I am too late.

[@bkbland1626]

There's still a few. They're just not by the road.

[@michaelspunich7273]

My family and I vacationed at GNP back in June. One of our hikes was an 8 miler, starting at the Many Glacire Hotel, and up to Grinell Glacier Lake. My son and I walked it fast, just for the challenge. When we got back to the Lodge, we were beat! And you hiked 23 miles, through snow, and it's just another day for you! Amazing.

[@maxrun934]

keep it up awesome journey , thanks for bringing us along...

[@user-David-Alan]

There are no words to describe those amazing views. Stay well and be safe. What a long day. Hope you had time to rest.

[@robertbarnes4]

The views are incredible That snow will be there till this winter

[@jduggan4129]

Thanks for another awesome day. Love you guys California Joanna

[@jasonjones5213]

Another awesome video.

[@turragorman59]

Long day for sure! You did it though and the journey continues.

[@lindab8774]

Loving following you

[@MrEllio7]

Love the Glacier sign picture!

[@jameswitham3248]

Such a cliffhanger (Pun intended)..! Looking forward to seeing what you all ended up doing for the night >.

[@Eds_PanAm]

Such great views!! Wow! Looked pretty damn tough, but it also looked like it was worth it

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Kelly! Beautiful amazingly gorgeous !

[@markisokawa2067]

What state are you currently hiking in?! I can't get over the non-stop epic views! So jelly!

[@opticalsewer]

Looks like you walked alongside the lake featured at the opening of The Shining

[@FloatingVillageLife]

[@travissapp4961]

Love the videos

[@BuckShot0099]

Is it safe to drink directly from the streams on top of the mountain? Seems like it wouldn't have a chance to be polluted so close to the source.

[@stevetrimborn3739]

What an impressive day! Y'all kicked a$$

[@dyadya-kolya]

Hello from Crimea

[@JoseyWales-ed]

Good day mate!

[@Victory1981]

Beautiful views! Be careful

[@charlesdang4670]

Have you heard the one about little Donny always being an earful?? Well... not anymore... 🙂 🙂

[@Btf.Damon1]

4:12 nice balance 💯🔥

[@harryls1283]

Let me ask you this, I have noticed that other than some of the stuff you have to buy for the trip like food, gear and other stuff, you have to pay a lot to stay for most of the time just one night and they are charging you a lot. How much money you have to spend to do something like this?

[@davidcox9115]

Adorably beautiful professional hiker..

[@SnowboardJedi]

Kelly is a badass!

[@sdw2is]

How far have you guys actually gone? How many more miles left in the whole trip?

[@bkbland1626]

Hikers are crap at snow travel. Climbers have better timing, usually. The earlier the better is the rule. If one has to get up at 2 am, so be it. Crunchy snow is the ticket. No post holing allowed. Afternoons are made for napping. YMMV. Good luck, Skully

[@sdw2is]

Best day!

[@Eric-i2g8u]

Kelly wish you you best wish 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

The views were spectacular today 😮

[@hikingmovie]

I wondered if you would see Tonya. She and Zoby are the best.

[@Btf.Damon1]

4:08 nah fr 😂

[@masongilligan2856]

Damn, awesome views of Glacier, Kelly, you are getting those snow skills down. Absolutely beautiful, I have never seen anyone capture footage like this. Nice crew of people to go on the journey with, every time I meet hiker's on the trail they are always the most interesting people to talk with. ⛰🏕

[@deshawniskeng-mixedmediatv]

❤❤❤❤

[@Btf.Damon1]

Do you still like your jacket ?

[@shredderwoods]

09:33 is that a ptarmigan?

[@walteragentplummer7031]

❤😂❤

[@EVILCHUCKYLEGION]

Good sleep 😴 I hope keep those feet moving

[@skidmore6678]

Someone dies at 12:19 if you listen closely!

[@rubyclaire8807]

Someone died or it kind of sounded like Tarzan.🤣

[@MerrittHoney]

Geez, I wonder how many calories you burn in a day! 10k? More? Thanx for sharing😊

[@SnowboardJedi]

40,000 calories easily

[@scmb7665]

Probably around 5k

[@SalPane1224]

Is getting a little serious, you feel okay you looked a little tired in this video

[@Jaxon1776]

Be careful! Don't get too smelly

[@garylafreniere1112]

Hello nine lives this is your friend Gary you sure are a pretty girl wish you well on your journey on your hiking please be safe and please pray for president Trump

[@jwolf3114]

Da*n what a beautiful woman.

[@bertkelly7650]

[@Justusson]

GoPro should really make a camera with no fisheye to it. The landscape is stunning (!), but the warping is making me sick. Especially with the depths of the mountains,.. 🏔️ 🥴 👍

[@jesss.884]

So difficult, yet so rewarding! Priceless 💪 🏔️ ❤
