Two COLD Nights in Kings Canyon National Park | Backpacking Bishop Pass Trail

With a big winter storm in the forecast, we figured this might be our last chance to explore Kings Canyon National Park before the mountains are covered in white. There’s something so special about the Sierra Nevada, maybe it’s the big granite peaks or those pristine alpine lakes. Whatever it may be, this backpacking season has been so good for the soul but we’re ready to see these beautiful wilderness areas cloaked in a blanket of snow.

Add Kings Canyon to your list!! Some of our favorite mountains out there!! 🏔️⛰️🏞️🗻. Oh and of course, do us a favor and hit the subscribe button. It really helps us out 🙏🏼

[@InSurrealtime]

Too bad you had to turn back, wait until you see Le Conte Canyon. I liked it so much I went back three times over the years.

[@bigboi7429]

First time watcher and just instantly subbed with notifications on this is a freaking movie man you and your partner should be really proud of what y’all do extremely underrated can’t wait to binge watch more videos

[@kraigadams]

Dope

[@codyandvictoria]

Kraig! Good to see ya here man. Hope you're well 🤙🏼

[@verlorenerjunge5921]

dude i feel so unrelaxed recently ;-)

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Man Craig, you may need to find a cute girlfriend if you want to keep up, LOL

[@jimvh7557]

Kraig is a legend and inspiration 😊

[@JesseDriftwood]

This was really great. Love the pacing and overall peaceful tone.

[@codyandvictoria]

Jesse!! Great to see you here man 🙏🏼 🙌🏼 Hope you're well and thanks for the kind words.

[@alexmakeen294]

Hey! Just wanted to let you know, I've really been vibing with all of this content lately - the story you both tell through your videos and the way you've filmed and edited is awesome. It feels so authentic - so thank you for putting out genuine content.

[@codyandvictoria]

Haha trying man. Our biggest goal is to be authentic in the content we put out and hopefully encourage other people to live whatever adventure they want. Glad it's coming across that way. C

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Your videos are a constant inspiration to me. They are the perfect escapism during this 'no travel' time. :)

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks Hannah! 🙏🏼 We'll get through this!

[@Archer21344]

Great video as always. Nothing like the sounds of nature and a pot clanking every step

[@JamesBTravel]

I just noticed that you guys add a very subtle hand-held camera shake on your wide shots. It makes it seem like you’re being filmed and creates a very cool documentary-feel to your videos! Awesome video as always, guys! Loving these camping videos while I’m trapped at home in lockdown in the UK!

[@tavakessler]

Your little adventures are always so amazing! So many people just waste a weekend or a short break, thinking it's not enough time, but your trips always remind me how 'big' a little adventure can be.

[@bryblanch]

Freakin sweet! A few hours from my house. Gonna check it out. Thanks for leading the way. 🤙🏼

[@bradleys6461]

Been on that trail several times. Just came over bishop pass from the backside a few months ago. Beautiful area, love it out there! Mt Agassiz is a fun climb too

[@SustainablyVegan]

I think I loved everything about this video

[@jinsjewelry]

Love you guys as much as Inyo :) BEAUTIFUL sceneries! Thumbs up 👍

[@CassadyAlberico]

Holy HECK the dynamic range on those dinner shots was fantastic!!! Getting both you two with your headlights in the foreground and the purple starry sky behind 😍😍😍

[@codyandvictoria]

Not had for 8bit footage haha

[@michaelkurz9067]

Beautiful

[@meganpope8559]

My favorite part of these videos is that they’re not bogged down with too much talking. It’s the perfect balance.

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks for the feedback! We're always torn between talking more or less. Always trying to find the best balance

[@michaelcheser]

Dude the clarity of that water showing those brook trout! Holy crap that was great!

[@codyandvictoria]

So good man 😍 nature be crazy

[@michaelcheser]

@@codyandvictoria yes it is! I love being up in the mountains and seeing little native trout swimming around! Gonna have to get you a little fly rod to carry in your pack and next time try to catch one or two! Adds a little spice to the trip to catch a fish that most people don't know even are in that little stream and most of those fish will never see people!

[@creedm3040]

Great video! I must say Victoria carries a really big pack! Best!

[@aottati]

Hey Cody, great video! I live in Bishop, so I really enjoyed seeing the Bishop Pass trail through your lens. Its all covered in snow now! Its a small thing, but you should try to avoid camping on any sort of plants, even small grass. The ecosystem up in the Sierra is very fragile. Stoked to see your channel move towards backpacking!

[@Gocamp7]

Thank you for the beautiful nature video.

[@WanderingSoleTV]

So beautiful. Fantastic video. I've only been in that vicinity once.... to hike Mount Whitney. So much more to explore! Greetings from British Columbia!

[@HNHMarriedLife]

All those mountain lakes are so beautiful! You guys are beasts for hiking it in your tennis shoes too! Thanks for always inspiring us to get out there.

[@ronaldquint]

Wow ! You both really did great ! Thank you for the journey !

[@sthcstog]

Your channel is so watchable. Great filming, perfect music choices, great balance of scenery and talking, production value is fantastic, and you have such a positive relationship with each other. Thank you!

[@jimvh7557]

These are AALLWAYS so nice.. the little chit chats over diner, the STRUGGLE 😊 All the fine details. You guys rock over and over!!

[@garyborad7616]

Great video. Well produced. I need to stretch out my season too.

[@corinaalmaguer2454]

So glad you all enjoyed Kings Canon. Iv have done different hikes there . It’s so beautiful there. My boyfriend has a vacation home not to far from there. It’s like his back yard.

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Wow what a campsite! Not sure how I missed this upload but glad it popped up on my home page, great video as always.

[@jyc313]

Did this in July 2017. There was still a fair bit of snow everywhere, and a lot of melting water from further up the range creating some sketch snow bridges. The switchback up towards the pass was completely covered in snow. We went up the least strenuous path we could find, and took an hour or so. Super intense. Stayed in dusy basin for two nights then hiked back out. So beautiful, and great memories.

[@IgnacioGlezCllo]

When striking camp, always leave the tent staked into the ground; remove the poles first and thus you reduce the potential for sail effect.

[@KenAppledorn]

You guys are awesome. Inspired. Thanks.

[@911turbojk]

Really enjoyed your videos and trips ! the quality of the production is amazing ! good job guys ! thank you for sharing ! Happy Holidays !

[@redcurtains1999]

Love from the Fiji Islands Cody and Victoria, awesome vids always

[@glen7999]

Thanks for sharing, brings back some great memories. When my dad was in his early 20's he would backpack into Inyo National Forest. Then when his three boys were old enough, he want to share the adventure with us. So in the late 60's he took us over Kearsarge Pass for a week in to the back country. I think I was all of 12 or 13 at the time. Given our ages he had a guide with pack horses take us in and drop us off. After a week we packed out. The following year we went over Taboose Pass to Bench Lake. Great times for sure and fishing was good too.

[@gourmetsportsman]

Looks like good times. Piece of advice, in windy conditions like that you might want to throw one of your backpacks in the tent while you breakdown the tent. It'll save you a lot of headache or chasing down your tent.

[@codyandvictoria]

Solid tip! Thanks

[@TheUnplannedRoute]

We've fallen in love with your videos!

[@codyandvictoria]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@chriscartermedia]

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful place! Thanks for making this.

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

Great trip with beautiful scenery and colours... I couldn't do it without proper hiking boots!

[@mrparrotpeanut]

So stoked to have found this channel. Really awesome and inspiring content. Not to mention beautifully shot and edited. Looking forward to more!

[@codyandvictoria]

Hey thank you! And thanks for watching us🙏 -V

[@OffRampAdventures]

I'm watching your video to prepare for our night in a tent next weekend. You guys look as cold as I'm figuring we'll feel! Lol! 😄

[@codymcgee6999]

So glad to find this channel. Awesome video and music. Awesome mountain life. Just joined Backcountry this month. They hooked you guys up w some nice gear. I loved the rab puffy. It has been a nice backpacking season but yea those nights are long. Just did a 5day/4 night myself. It was nice to see an emotional connection w nature in your video..and a Beatles reference! Listen to 'mother natures son'... Cant wait to watch more of you guys videos. New subscriber here. Yall are an inspiration. Happy trails, from Texas.

[@codyandvictoria]

Cody! Thanks for stopping by and we're stoked you're enjoying the videos. Always great to have people around who appreciate these simple things just like we do. Getting cold these days. Lots of snow here in Tahoe, but we're considering a 4 season tent to see if we can keep going 😬 we'll see... Thanks for watching!

[@westex6948]

Can't believe how can you make this great video

[@nickamp7667]

I appreciate the way you compose your videos. Your story telling skills are amazing. The way you convey certain feelings throughout the video is awesome. I am looking to getting into bag packing when it heats up again . Your video just popped up into my for you page. Keep up the quality content !

[@codyandvictoria]

Much appreciated Nick!

[@justnormalfilm]

Wow.. Beautiful. Thank you Cody and Victoria!

[@kennethtew2740]

Good stuff! I have forgotten my hiking boots so many damn times! I get stuck hiking with Vans.

[@OpenRoad4Two]

Kings Canyon looks amazing! Making our adventure list for 2021!!!

[@feliciafullwood]

Congrats on the backcountry sponsorship you guys, thats amazing! Seriously love how simple and peaceful these videos are, killing it as usual!

[@codyandvictoria]

Haha thanks a ton. We love Backcountry and they support us so it's win win! Hope to keep these videos coming 🙌🏼 C

[@klyyoung2728]

Very inspirational!

[@the.devol-]

Creating Beautiful Moments.You two are so inspiring 💟 Much love.

[@ReaganScottPhoto]

Your presentations of the great outdoors are unparalleled. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate your work. The documentary style, the colors, music, everything. Excellent job, you have a new subscriber!

[@codyandvictoria]

What a huge compliment man. 🙏🏼 Thanks a ton. Hope we can keep it going

[@njoadj123]

2 days and you had enough so much footage and all of it so cinematic as well. Cody you never fail to impress!

[@codyandvictoria]

Really appreciate it man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 C

[@AlKulla]

Great stuff man!

[@greatday2224]

I enjoyed it all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. Thanks you two.

[@donnienewman9141]

Really enjoyable!!! You guys are awesome together and the music is great. I stumbled on to ya'll and now I'm hooked!!

[@Lmitch10]

nah

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Seriously Lane? As if you can do better.

[@midwestsmalltown]

Great video! Loved the views! Cody said it best...Thank You Mother Nature!

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

Wow. I really miss going outside the city and sleep on the sand or grass and watch the night sky. I hope and pray that this pandemic will send soon.

[@adamsabaz2415]

Love the look and feel of your videos. Great vibes. Very inspiring. Would love to see some of the places you've hiked in person.

[@doneyMjohn]

Its beautiful.

[@JasonLorette]

Is it ever unnerving being that far away from everything, it being THAT dark at night, and so quiet? That peak was gorgeous.

[@codyandvictoria]

Sometimes but there aren't too many concerns really. Bears maybe but we've never had an issue with that. Otherwise it's just pure bliss.

[@JasonLorette]

@@codyandvictoria - nice...just saw how silent and dark it was your first night and it seemed so...different. :p

[@codyandvictoria]

@@JasonLorette it can be a little creepy. Dark. Quiet. Middle of nowhere..... 😬

[@indiamartin3370]

Aww man! We had a great learning experience on oak mountain when we went last month and the next trip will be even better (we over packed). But I’m definitely gonna be waiting for spring even though we live in the south. I’m cold intolerant lol. Looked like fun guys! We are headed out for a trail ride tomorrow to enjoy the sun! Hope y’all are having a great day!

[@codyandvictoria]

I feel ya girl! The cold and I don't do well together! I'm a summer girl all day long! Have fun on your trail ride and enjoy the sun for me😂 -V

[@ByJorgeLuis]

To be honest with you, you’re the reason I started my KZbin channel . You’re a big motivation. I do my videos in Spanish though

[@codyandvictoria]

Amazing! Glad we could be some inspiration

[@MrIain0804]

Thanks for sharing

[@thephotographerdiaries]

Love Cody Blue, and I love CODY AND VICTORIA! Would love to go on a adventure with y'all!

[@codyandvictoria]

❤️

[@jbolf6]

Beautifully done. And you beat the snow!

[@MarkHoltze]

Camping in the cooler weather is kind of my fav, less bugs, crowds and I dont know why, maybe just cause i haven't done it as much over my lifetime. Great video you two...15 off GO!!!!

[@JurrienWiss]

Love your videos! 👌🏻

[@typing...3109]

Bro, your videos becoming my therapy in these days of pandemic thank you man. sending love from philippines!

[@codyandvictoria]

Hey thanks!! One day we'll visit. Once the pandemic is under control 🙌🏼

Really love your videos, please keep posting your outdoorsy stuff

[@sandoghomie]

SO DOPE!

[@tylerervin8947]

Dude your audio is so crispy. Whatever setup you’re using don’t ever change it😂

[@mataharitimur1785]

I've watched random videos about backpacking on KZbin, and I found you. Now I become your fan! You were awesome!!!

[@rmac1042]

You camped in Dusy Basin across from Isosceles Peak, 12,382 and Columbine Peak, 12,662 ft. Gorgeous area! While hiking up south fork of Bishop Creek, when you passed Long Lake, the northern peak of the Palisades-Mt. Agassiz, 13,899 ft.-was looming above; pointed, massive, intimidating and black! The view from the summit is incredible! The peak is Class 2-3. When you arose that second morning and you were having breakfast, the view behind you was r to l: North Palisade, 14,249 ft, Starlight, 14,200+ ft., Winchell, Thunderbolt, Peak, 14,009 ft., and Winchell, 13,781 ft. Thunderbolt was the last 14er to be climbed in the Sierras. It’s dangerous and minimum Class 4 with the summit block minimum Class 5! Your last night had gorgeous alpenglow on Agassiz. Where you were is one of my favorite places in the Sierra! There are fantastic climbs there like a hard-to-find Class 3 route up North Pal, Thunderbolt Pass also leads to Polemonium and a difficult route up Mt. Sill, 14,162 ft. In the opposite direction, you can continue on down thru Dusy Basin to LeConte Canyon, Evolution Valley and Humphrey’s Basin and the JMT (North over Muir Pass then out over Paiute Pass... great loop).

[@codyandvictoria]

Wow you really know this area!! We'd love to go back and do some climbing one day now that we've got a little more alpine experience - maybe later this year 😉

[@jeremyquan9201]

I don't know why I stopped getting notification for you videos but I miss these! You've gotten so much better as well I love it. And you changed you YT name to Cody and Victoria which I love! Can't wait for more content from you both

[@richardellishk]

Another fantastic video guys !!! such an inspiration to get outdoors, can't wait for covid to be over so we can come to our house in Tahoe and hike / ski in the Sierra Nevada's........ Loving your travelling and camping trips!!

[@theomalley777]

It would be bad ass if you did a iphone photo tips and tricks video. Maybe even use the lightroom app to edit. Using a phone for pictures is something almost everyone can do at no cost. Love the videos guys!

[@TereWild]

Love everything!! Im waiting for some of your LUTS for a7SIII and slog3 😊

[@Ryguypie17]

I feel like videos rarely capture the magic of what it's like to experience nature, but you've done it flawlessly here. It felt like I was tagging along with you. Your philosophies, vibes, relationship, and editing are all beautiful. You've earned yourselves another subscriber and have certainly inspired me to go backpacking in the future!

[@codyandvictoria]

Amazing. Thanks for the great compliments! Hope to keep this vibe alive

[@Tylerdirtn]

Looks like an amazing time. Awesome video 👌🏻

Too bad you guys didn't actually get into Kings Canyon. It's so different at the lower elevation with more streams, waterfalls, caves, huge trees. Perhaps you can do it in another video.

[@juanarroyo5324]

Awesome video n a stunning place !!!! GOD BLESS u guys always !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clintmayes4782]

Thanks to KZbin for me randomly finding your channel. Just binged all your vids in one night! I’m stationed in Japan right now hoping to get back to the states soon and get a solid truck setup like yours, Keep up the good work!

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks for your service! Hope you have a good Thanksgiving and thanks for watching

[@thockdorji9766]

Amazing

[@trevorromaine7098]

Such an awesome video, yet again! I saw you made a video a couple years ago about artificial camera movements (like zoom/pan/dolly), but how do you make those tripod shots look like they're handheld?? It's such a tiny little detail that I'm sure most people don't pick up on, but it adds so much to the story and the vibe, and I'd love to see how you do it.👍🏼

[@mikewatson497]

I noticed that too. I thought maybe someone else was with them.

[@MichaelJohnson-sj9bq]

It can easily be done in Adobe after effects and there is most likely a plug-in for which ever editing software they use.

[@jacob.happyhappy]

Wow~~so great ^^

[@ScenicCityAdventures]

Incredible as always you two! I've got to get out of the southeast and to somewhere with REAL mountains. That's just stunning.

Beautiful scenery and such an excellent job on sharing this area. I'm not a backpacker (camp in a small"ish" trailer) and I don't really love being cold, but would love to spend more winter time in The Sierra Nevada - you did inspire :)
