Utah local here, my brother has done this hike twice. The first time he followed the same strategy as you (camp at the lake, pack out the next day) and loved it (though his buddy was *suffering* by the end of day 2). He went back a year later with 5 friends and did the whole thing in a day. I got to serve as their chauffeur on the second trip, and spending the day lounging in a hammock reading was awesome! Its a gorgeous area, and it was really fun getting to see more of what they saw from your video! Hopefully I'll make it up there again myself here soon.

Side note…. The “no coffee” thang is a reference to the LDS commitment to seeing “your body as a temple”… No Alcohol, no smoking, no caffeinated beverages, etc… Not a bad way to live, regardless of your Religious beliefs… Concerning Utah social networks, a person who claims to be Mormon, yet privately does not live up to the “LDS Standards”, is usually referred to as a “Jack Mormon”… Coincidentally, in Salt Lake City, in a neighborhood known as “the Avenues”, The best damn coffee in the state is roasted fresh, and served any way you like it… The business is called “The Jack Mormon Coffee Company”…. 😎

I have to hand it to you. Very impressive to hike King's Peak solo. I hiked it in September, camped at Dollar Lake Day 1. It was mid week and there was hardly anyone there. Around 3:00 am, I was woken up by light from a flash light shining in my tent. I got dressed and went outside and did not see or hear anything. Really odd. I decided to get dressed and start for the summit in the dark. Lots of reflective eyes looking at me from the tree lines. At the ridge line to the summit, I decided to stop not wanting to scrambled the rocks as I had sprained and cut my leg the year before on a loose rock that gave way in the Park City area. Needed 25 stitches to close the cut. Great video.

Thanks for the video! It brought back good memories: last year I flew to SLC, hiked Borah in ID, then next day Kings in a day (without the big pack it was 11 hours). Hoped to have a day between them, but weather was coming, so I used the extra day to go to Dinosaur National Monument. You are right, there is a lot of boulder hopping on Kings that I was not ready for. It is a good hike, but I thought Borah was way better fun with the class Chicken out Ridge. Hope you have a chance of doing that.

That was smart to make it a 2 day trip, get acclimated to the altitude a little before going for the summit, those ankle twister rock fields could be dangerous. can you rig up some 550 cord to the water filtration bag and hang it on a branch like a IV bag while it is draining through the filter ? I am not a coffee drinker, but yes i have seen people almost dysfunctional without it.

I will be hiking in the Redwoods National Forest ( Northern California ) this summer for several weeks and need a good pair of hiking boots. I noticed that in many of your videos you are wearing a pair of boots with red laces. Who makes those boots? In this video its at time stamp: 6:52. Are they comfortable and durable? Do they come in a mens size 9-1/2". Anyway sorry for such odd questions. Wishing you all the best in your travels and adventures.
