This trip was a lot of fun! I hope I get to go on another one with you guys this year!

A very true statement! Wet, sloppy trail over dry pavement!

Thanks, man! It was great to finally go on a trip with you guys!

Been following you and Lacey for a few months now. Enjoy your work. Great to see you with one of my favorite backpacking YT'ers, Travis.

There are so many great places to go in the Bob, and I've only scratched the surface! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

AWESOME! I've never even heard of anyone else trying it! Run into any snow on the ridge?

Yeah, it didn't seem like anyone had hiked the loop this year, though I did run into a hunter up by the lake that had motorcycled up from Lost Creek. We were both pretty surprised to see each other. Didn't see anyone else or any human tracks. No snow on the trail getting up to or down from the divide. Just enough snow left for water at high camp on top of the ridge next to Lost Peak and again on a little grassy knob near the junction with East Fork. Glad I didn't camp right at the lake, the symphony of frogs was pretty loud even from up above! and the 360 views were great! About a half mile of big snow drifts along the ridge about midway through, but very consolidated and easy travel. The summit of Black Peak is pretty cool, too, and worth a little extra effort, but that road in from the Montana side was a bit worse than I expected! All in all, it was a very fun and pleasant hike in the mountains! Happy to be able to relate to someone else who's been there too!

That was my beef with that trail... the drive in to the trailhead

Thank you for taking the time to watch!

@@mountainwanderer Your very welcome & my pleasure. Your channel is one of my very favorites!! ❤️✌️

@@lulugallo7032 Really appreciate the support!

That was an amazing spot! From camp we could see the hill where all of the elk were as we were hiking down. Made me wish I had a spotting scope to see what else was wandering up there!

There are so many places to go there and I've just scratched the surface! Hoping maybe we can do a group trip this year...

Will do! Timber will be on the next one!

Is the snow finally melting out in Utah?

Finally. Josh and I are doing a three day trip the first of July up in the Uintas.

This was a great group of people to hike with!

Right on! Joey mentioned that you and he might get together for a trip. There are usually spot to hang, but not always. Have a great summer, maybe we'll bump into each other out there!

Dan! You're on here now, too - excelente!! Now we got Dan, Travis, Joey, and yes - you too Northwest Wanderer and Lacey, as all of my favorite youtuber hikers! Thanks everybody! There is another extremely good one out there I have to recommend as well that I hope you are able to check out- Jamal Green from Across Utah! Super f'n good!! Can't miss it!

I wish we would've crossed paths! That would've been great! Taking the river back would've been the quick way! I hope we do cross paths out there!

@@fredmcdonald5067 Thanks Fred, that's very kind and I'll definitely check out Jamal. I've been studying the vids of Travis and Joey from day one, trying to learn and copy their techniques!

Here's to hoping that Joey puts out some more videos!

I'm gonna be watching for that packrafting trip!

The rain was a little demoralizing, but it helps being out there with such a great group!

I wish I would've got more shots of the trail... but every time I hit the bad spots I had to focus on staying on my feet! (I did go down once, but turns out the that the mud makes for a soft landing). I'm looking forward to @NorthwestWanderer videos. They are out so often that I'm not sure when he'll get to this one. Joey on the other hand, didn't have a camera so there will not be a video from him for this trip. There are rumors that Joey will be releasing videos again at some point, but he disappeared into the Rockies as soon as we said goodbye. Hope you're healing up well!

after getting rained on for the previous 2 days, that sunset brought a lot of joy to the camp! Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you very much! This was one of the only trips that I had on the calendar just because when Joey says he can go, you better make it happen since I'm not sure when I'll hear from him again. I do know one thing though... the Bitterroots are next! Thanks for watching!

I may have cursed a few times when the mud tried to pull my shoe off, but it's hard to be mad when you're in such beauty!

It was great to finally get to hike with those guys! I've been a fan of their videos for a while. Hopefully it won't be the lat time I get to hike with them this year!

It was a great group to hike with! 😂 Sadly, the disclaimer is from experience...

@@mountainwanderer Proactivity pays.😄

The Bob is a special place for sure!

Love it! That's one I didn't think of!

Thanks for tuning in!

Right on! Glad to hear you're getting out! Hope it was a good time!

@@mountainwanderer Set up basecamp and then day 2 headed out with full pack to do a little section of AT. Had some back issues, new pack...still dialing it in, so I made a big 8 mile loop and ended up back at camp. Steak and eggs and a cold plunge in the creek, felt great after. Great to be out no matter what!

Steak and eggs is a great way to finish it off!

@@mountainwanderer just posted a good pic on my community page. My brother just sent it to me.

Nice fish!

I think Joey was one of the first backpackers I followed too. Have a great trip in Colorado!

That was what I kept saying to myself - the rain is good for fire season!

Thank you! I was pretty happy on day 3 when we finally saw the sun!

I'll let him know about the bear tips! You must be up there in the Cabinets wrestling Griz!

@@mountainwanderer 🤣

Thank you! The Bob makes it pretty easy to make good videos, the views and the wildlife usually make for a good adventure!

That is really cool! Sounds like you have an awesome job!

We'll keep them coming!

And that was not the only one that size that we ran across... on trail!

@Mountain Wanderer yeah insaw my first ever Sow Grizz and cub up by Ozette lake trail head. They scampered across the road as I was coming around the corner and jumped over the side. BEAUTIFUL creatures when you are in the safety of a vehicle.

It is an incredible place! Already looking forward to another trip in there!

You are too kind! Thanks for checking it out!

He has quite a history!

Thank you, sir! You have to love Big Sky Country!

Love the flower shots.

No Timber on this one. The logistics and the fact that we stayed in a campground the first night just made it so it was better if he didn't go.

No crow on this trip, but it will be making its way out soon!

That meadow we camped in on the 2nd night would be a place for a cabin!

@@mountainwanderer RIGHT???!!!!! I CAN C MYSELF THERE NOW 🤠😊

You can feel it when you're out there too! The Bob is a wild place!

Glad to hear that the Uintas are melting out finally! It's an amazing place!

Sorry, I don't have a way of getting in touch with him.

I can see why!

Nope, I've never even been there!

Joey has shut down his you tube channel. I don't think it will come back. He has been wanting to go a different direction and I guess he finally went with it. He is posting regularly over on Patreon. I think all of his new content will be there: www.patreon.com/user?u=29913168

thankyou travis,maybe i will see you on the trail someday.

Sounds like you live in a great place!

@@mountainwanderer Oh yes... We love it up there as it is right on the edge of TRUE wilderness you can hike back into.

@@Redfour5 Gotta love the BOB

There was no snow for us, we were in the clouds most of the time. When it finally cleared up, it clear, no smoke.

I've heard the same from other people..
