Indeed! She loves going with us. Everytime we grab our gear she starts dancing and then sits on our packs like, " you're not going without me" 😎🐾

She's such a trooper!

Our first campsite was about 2 miles in, near the Buchanan trail intersection. There are many level campsites in this area and great access to water. Our next campsite was about 4 miles in, where there is a waterfall and a few level campsites. We were in no hurry to go anywhere and were exploring the area. Can't wait to get back and see more. Plenty of water, wildlife and places to camp and explore. Side trips up the Buchanan Pass trail, Pawnee Pass trail, Mirror Lake and Lone Eagle Peak make this a great overnight or multi-night outing.

Wow, somehow missed this. Sorry so late... way late! Thank you for the great feedback.

It was a bummer, we were feeling under the weather the night before and hoped it would pass by morning. Unfortunately it did not and we had to cut the trip short. We can't wait to go back and see Crater Lake, Lone Eagle Peak and a side trip to Pawnee Lake. The waterfalls and wildlife were amazing!

We'd recommend camping at the split for Buchanan Pass, the second campsite is buried in downed trees currently. See our latest video for the Pawnee - Buchanan Loop, tried using the same campsite and it was quite disheartening...doable...but lots of downed trees.

Thank you, Drew. This video was shot using a Canon 70d mounted on an Evo Rage 2 Gimbal. The gimbal really makes a huge difference for smoothing things out. Of late we are actually trying out the GoPro Hero 7 Black with built in stabilization that is pretty good, and much much lighter to carry on trail. We plan on using it on our Colorado Trail thru hike this summer. Check out our "Preparing for the Colorado Trail" playlist to see videos using the GoPro. We have been happy with both setups, though we'd say the Evo gimbal does a better job.
