Your vlogs are always complete journeys and gripping tales. Amy is a hoot (and a trooper).

[@DanStenziano]

Been considering Wonderland Trail. Thanks for great video!

[@mountfairweather]

We did this in mid July 2022... We saw 5 groups of other hikers the whole thru hike. It was eerily desolate for such a popular hike. Some days we didn't see a single person. Raging rivers, steep snow slopes (Spray Park), tons of bears, routefinding, no caches or refuel stops, and finished in 6 days. It was an adventure and highlight of my time in the PNW. Thanks for this video :)

[@DanStenziano]

Sounds awesome. Lucky you on the bear sightings!

[@natlovell122]

Excellence!!! Love the resilience, that’s what hiking is all about! I can hear the emotion involved in overcoming that type of sitch. Awesome!!!!!!

[@craigbenjamin]

Wow, you guys did great. At the time you were hiking the Wonderland I was checking the trail reports and watching if anyone had successfully made it around. I started out several weeks later going CCW. The snow was still pretty deep and melting fast up on Panhandle Gag when I went through. I can't imagine how long those miles of trail must have seemed covered in snow. I crossed several of the same rivers before the trail crews did their magic. It was a hike I will always remember.

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks! Seems the WT was a little more exciting for everyone last year, even well into the season

[@zoger12]

Thanks for helping me relive my 2018 hike!

[@TimoteoDelCielo]

10 out of 5 stars!!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing work Dan & Amy! SO happy to have been able to come along on your adventure! Thank you ❤

[@DanStenziano]

Thank you Haley!

[@camilomoreno6895]

Nice video, I love the Wonderland Trail. I can’t believe you went up there without an ice axe ! But I guess you didn’t need it. I want to go back, when I went there, there was too much fog in some areas that I was looking forward to, like Spray Park. It would have been nice if you had mentioned the campsites to get an idea of how was your daily mileage and elevation changes.

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks! I did go back and forth beforehand about the ice axe, but the snow was generally soft enough that it wouldn't have seen much use. A week or two earlier and I probably would have wanted one. Good point on the campsites, I should add that to the description at least.

[@marklyons3125]

You always make great videos Dan!

[@Brian-gv7ug]

What an awesome adventure! I've wanted to do this trail for awhile, you've inspired me to do it. Thanks for sharing!

[@DanStenziano]

Happy to hear it 🙂 Get on the permits early!

[@katherinestenziano3208]

Exciting hike, so weird to have snow and bugs at the same time:) Good Job!

[@cecileberberat]

Such a great video, Dan! Thanks for posting it and sharing your adventures :)

[@danielyacykewych4066]

awesome awesome! You toughed it out again. Loved those awesome distant shots of Amy crossing snow. You couldn’t have captured your thru better.

[@DanStenziano]

Thank you 🙂

[@SouthernHike]

Doing this loop in a couple weeks in the same amount of days. Hyped man.

[@DanStenziano]

Sweet! Hope you have a great trip

[@Bayplaces]

This was a fun one to watch. Must have been nice with few people out there.

[@DanStenziano]

It really was

[@Bayplaces]

@@DanStenziano I really appreciate your videos. They’re not the average “bro look how hard we crushed it” vibe. My girlfriend and I watch each knew post together. I know it’s silly to be this sentimental about hiker videos, but it really takes my mind off things. I work as a homeless service worker and don’t hike as much as I would like to. I revisit your SSHR video probably too much.

[@DanStenziano]

@@Bayplaces I'm glad you connect with the videos! that really does mean a lot

[@PINEPUPPY]

Great adventure and really well done video Dan. Just amazes me the places you go. At my age, day 6 would be all I could handle. Gorgeous scenery throughout. Bravo!

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks Charlie!

[@badgerrambler]

“Well, we just walked around Mt Baker”… lol

[@_javelin]

Dan, you're actually getting pretty good. Great job again!!!

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks for watching! You’re always my toughest critic 🙂

[@garrettmain3712]

It's so good! Nice work!

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks! 🙂

[@jhonyermo]

The entire video was just great. Out of this world. You and Amy are Super Troupers--as Abba Sings about A big salute. Gorgeous scenery. Wonderful commentary. Thanks so much. BTW does Amy have a KZbin or IG account?

[@DanStenziano]

Thanks! Yes she does, IG handle is @xuan.films. Slightly different content from mine 🙂

[@andyveres3982]

Yeah boyyyyyy

[@thomasmontoya7279]

i could feel the regret lololol

[@DanStenziano]

No ragrets

[@gentryaustin]

I’m guessing Joanna was a theater major.

[@DanStenziano]

Haha no but she could have been!

[@hermeticallysealed]

amy is a bad ass

[@DanStenziano]

Agree
