You guys are so lucky to have found each other.. perfect definition of soulmates..❤️

Love your spirit and enthusiasm in all your videos. We've been doing a lot of snow hikes in Colorado this year. Absolutely love it! Just watched your Mt Shasta hike, incredible journey and accomplishment. Elise, we just love your voice.

You guys are ‘rock’ stars. I am sure you both are recognized now on all the trails. Enjoying the vids. congrats on your success.

You have such a great life! And those hikes where you are all alone surrounded by the beatiful nature makes me so jealous (in a good way) 😅 Greetings from Sweden!

NICE! I finally just shared your channel to a few friends. Funny, my co-worker gifts this year was the “get outside in the winter” theme complete with tips, a winter headband and a mini Fireball. This was because I was feeling the winter blues, so decided it’s time to embrace it and get out there. Not quite what you do, but just purchased new snow tires and am getting my winter gear together. If you can’t beat Winter, participate. Your video was good timing. It just cemented my goal. Thanks!

Thanks for the lovely winter wonderland memories! Hope your back is healing nicely Elise, and here’s to a festive and healthy holiday and new year. Always love to see you two playing together in the mountains🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄

Beautiful video!!Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!

You guys are incredible! I really enjoy your content. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. I look forward to 2023 to see what’s next. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Virginia

Thanks for the adventure. You guys are the best.

always a joy to watch your videos :) and you’ve often done some of my favorite old hikes from when I used to live at tahoe

Epic hikes and love the choice of "fun" with or without traction. 😀 Thank you both for these wonderful and inspiring vlogs and we all wish you the best for the holidays and the new year!!

Excellent choices!!!!, Merry Christmas!!!!

The views you guys share are insane! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Keep up the great work in 2023!

Enjoyed this different style video! happy holidays guys!

Again, what beautiful scenery with breathtaking vistas! Having seen these before, I still found myself cracking up watching Adam sinking in the snow at those higher elevations. Adam, you have tremendous "Staying Power!" to keep going. Way to go! Same for you too, Elise. You are just as much a trooper! Can't wait to see what's next!

You too are masters of of high mountain rambles.👍

Beautiful winter wonderland up there did it.

Happy 2023! Thanks for sharing the lovely video. I wish both of you a safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous 2023. 😃

These hikes are just so pretty and magical in the snow ❄️😍 loved this roundup!!!

Thank you for bringing some scenes from these EPIC hikes to our living rooms. 😁 I hope to get out for a winter day hike next week around Bear Mountain. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best during this magical holiday season. 🎅🏻

I love that you did this recap! We are headed to CA for our spring break, and I needed some encouragement for Yosemite! Nearly everything online says there’s too much snow, etc. We wanted to do some exploring, and thinking about these recommendations we will add them to our list of possibilities. ❤❤ Happy Holidays!

Really a good idea with this kind of compilation on a channel like yours that not only entertains but also gives advice and recommendations to other keen hikers. It will remind people of the opportunities and, especially at this time of year, I could imagine that you might inspire a few new year's resolutions. :)

Love this video guys. Thank you. Not much of a winter weather person, but you may have lit a spark with this one. Lots of planning to do though as I’m in the UK

Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 you to.happy new year.

Great recaps from some fantastic adventure PT and JB. Here’s hoping you guys have the best Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year during your first year as newly weds. What a year 2022 was for you guys glad you allowed us to come along on the journey. 🤗❤️🙏🏻

Thanks for the great Info

I missed you again😢live. Thank you. Merry Christmas and happy New Years

thank you for the beautiful scenery! good time to do the palm springs up to mt san jacinto trail you guys did last year!

Awesomely beautiful, Thanks

You guys crack me up, loved that into. You keep putting things on my list faster than I can get to them. Now the lakes trail is starting to get on the list, hopefully I am going to check off clouds rest next June. This is all your fault you know...

Your video makes me want to move to California. I love winter hikes. Enjoy!

Grew up in the Appalachians. I don't go east of Mississippi anymore. Huckleberry knob is winter go to and Clingmans Dome. NC side has couple but my favorite is Huckleberry Knob.

You guys perfectly summed up why Winter hiking is so underrated! We are lucky here in Utah as well! Lots of great hikes in Northern Utah in the Winter.

Another top video guys 😊

Hey Nice video and cool winter tour. It was fun to watch 🤙 Greetings from Bavaria, the Dude

The view of the Thumb from lake on Big Pine Palisades. Top 6 of any I have seen. Set off from aquamarine glacial lake is epic!

Hey guys! Those are my favorite winter hikes too! 😂 Happy holidays to the best adventure KZfaqrs out there! You guys rock!

I love you guys and you inspire me to get outdoors more. I just rebooted my channel for my van life journey and I plan on doing a lot of hikes! I love watching you guys and I have my own "LiveHardLoveHard" hike bucket list!

The voiceovers were on point! Definitely am going to try Anza Borrego. You get to see all those interesting art structures as a reward afterwards!

Awesome guys thanks!

Adam & Elise, May the true spirit of Christmas shine in your hearts and keep you and your families healthy, happy & safe. Much love & respect.

amazing views

Gorgeous. Amazing efforts put in here. Hello from the PNW!! 💚.

When you guys start your traveling, I'd love to see you hike the NH Whites in winter. A presidential traverse is about 17 miles, about 12 of it above tree-line including Mt. Washington, home to the "worst weather in the world". But on a good day it is truly spectacular up there, especially in the winter!

Amazing views at the top of peaks

Beautiful winter's scene Elise... Just got back from Cuba Tuesday but there is a massive storm coming in tonight and tomorrow and maybe all through Christmas... cheers to both of you... 🥂🥶

exactly what I was looking for , I will be trying to find a good hike for buddies this coming firday for a hike in los angeles,

Loved all 5 hikes 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Thanks for your videos guys I am not able to afford these trips but one day I will . thanks for motivation ! And inspiration ✨️ 🙌 ❤️

Happy Holidays!

Amazing hikes happy holidays

That was great guys! Very well done. I hope I can get out to Callie for some of those adventures. I think it’ll have to be summer though. After all my great trips in the desert during the winter, I froze my ass of even there, it was 20! I’m not sure I can bring myself back to the windy freezing high mountain sufferfests.

Powerful thumbnail, opening is simply breathtaking. Cinematography at its finest folks, outstanding work once again!🔥

Earthquakes, blizzards and deep snow oh no! Most people would give up in the first mile but for Abominable Adam and Elite Elise it's just another walk in the park.Twice the energy needed to do the same hike in deep snow especially picking your feet up with snowshoes. We always worry about steping thru holes betwen the rocks on those deep snowy adventures without them.. We are getting cabin fever and want to get ot there in the snow. Any reccomendations of your favorite snowshoes? The artic blast came thru last night. It's a balmy 9 degrees here today. Been watching You Tube alot today dreaming about sunny places.. Gotta get outside before we go crazy. Thanks guys for showing the best hikes in the Sierras, and the desert. Merry Christmas!🎀

Love seeing you in your happy places! The hike from Badger sounds doable, right?

I wholeheartedly agree! I haven't been to Anza-Borrego, but the rest are almost better as winter hikes than summer just to get to experience them in solitude! Eagle Peak is also a gorgeous view of the valley and very peaceful once you split off from Yosemite Falls Trail. I've been thinking about the Pohono from Tunnel View whenever we finally get a weekend of clear weather (I'm not mad about the snow, though!). 😉 I do have a question - what boots do you guys use for snow hikes? Happy New Year and here's to more adventures! 🎉

I want to go on all of these hikes! Thank you for the ideas and making it seem so possible. You guys have such an amazing adventurous life together!❤❤❤ quick question, do you car camp the night before and night after these big hikes?

That Alta to Pear might be one of the scariest hikes you guys have done!

Merry Christmas from London

I love your videos.. I like your humor about self abuse (in a serious way), refreshing. Watching you do your thing has led me to watch other peoples hiking/climbing videos. I've learned I can't watch serious climbing videos, they make me too nervous.. so hike around but don't climb things like the Fisher/mystery towers although it prolly has a world class snack spot or two ;)

See Liv ❤️ love's winter hiking list for reference. $1300 for full up gear haul. Make sure you take poles!!! They keep you from falling down. Especially if wearing a pack.

Epic! Postholing nightmare but worth it

FANTASTIC !!! Ciao 🙂

Elise and Adam, a good morning from France. Beautiful retrospective of your winter adventures, despite the great difficulties you master the cold and the snow, the Yeti (the abominable snowman) can tremble in front of your winter hikes, he would not do better. Thank you for these beautiful images and this beautiful montage of circumstance and end of year. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Kisses to both of you. DAN. ☃☃🎄🎄 Elise et Adam, un bonjour de France. Belle rétrospective de vos aventures hivernales, malgré les grandes difficultés vous maitrisez le froid et la neige, le Yéti (l’abominable homme des neiges) peut trembler devant vos randonnées d’hiver, il ne ferait pas mieux. Merci pour ces superbes images et ce beau montage de circonstance et de fin d’année. Joyeux noël, et bonne année. Bises à vous deux. DAN.

Ever done Mt pinos? Maybe not in the top 5 across all of California but definitely within range of Santa Monica:)

Fantastic! Gosh, these hikes are incredible, and quite long, esp with snow (except for Anza Borrego 😂). Do you think some of them are possible to ski? Thanks again, Merry Christmas!

Greetings from your friend, @calatoruldac 🎅 Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!🤗💖

Merry CHRISTmas & Happy New 2023 Year Elise & Adam (BIG hugs) "THANK YOU BOTH" for sharing your extraordinary Adventures with US (BIGGER hugs) OUR World Is such a BETTER Place with YOU TWO in It (BIGGEST hugs). GOD BLESSES ALL.

I agree with your list! Winter is underrated for fantastic hiking! 🙂

Mt Baldy Blow Trail, Cucamonga Wilderness are my favorite in the winter. Not too far from Los Angeles. Death Valley is nice hiking in the winter.

How are you guys doing? Hope you are dry and safe! Haven't seen you on here paddling a canoe down the street. Hope your leak got fixed before monsoon season.

I love winter hikes! But the problem is I’m usually too busy skiing. 😂 It’s a tough problem to have, I know.

Merry christmas 🎉

Nice!

Awesome! We had 8 inches of snow and it's -8 degrees in Minneapolis area right now! Brrr lol Dave O

Прекрасная ❄️ зимняя обстановка❤✅

Not a big Death Valley fan but the Crater Run is a must also. You can post for ev er BUT socal without Baldwin and heebee geebee is not complete.

Merry Xmas to you both 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fae bonnie Scotland

full moon snowshoeing is bomb, maybe give mt. Tallac in tahoe a go there is a nice ridge looking over fallen leaf lake if you just want to go for a test. needs to be a clear night with decent snowpack for the full effect. also test out your low light camera game. of course, i can't not recommend coconut waffles at the red hut in south shore before or after the hike or anytime for that matter. and Adams studio voice.....i thought he was gonna sell me a timeshare.

Yosemite. The trail between Illouette Falls and Nevada Falls (Panoramic Trail) is a haul in snow. BUT probably easier than trying road to Glacier/from parking or Ski area. 4 mile trail is probably closed or posted as dangerous. Vernal Falls trail is giant ice cube from mist. If cold. The high trail has rock ice fall. So "middle " is it up to Nevada Falls is the and traditional route up. (Lyle/Lyell) is out through little Yo valley. To go to Tuolumne Meadows most go up from Valley. North side across from half dome. Tough. long. Take compass and map if not good at this stuff. You can go across Clouds rest BUT you may be walking sideways in wind looking down 6000 feet into Tenaya Canyon on the narrow part. Standing on snow cornice of death. Way easier from Lee Vining side. The overlook at the top of the hill after Illouette falls Is the spot. Personally my favorite Yosemite hike is Glacier to Clouds rest. Reverse back down you do Halfdome. Or on way up.

Hi im Elle im 11 years old and i love your videos! You should come to Potter Valley it's in northern California and is a beautiful small town it is surrounded by tall mountains with lots of amazing hikes if you come me and my dad who's name is Chris could show you our favorite hikes like trout creek, secret river access, and more 😀

Yea I know I left Colorado out. Mount Blanca/Blanco. Rocky Mountain: Meeker, Longs, Hallett, Wild Basin, but I like Indian Peaks best. I generally stick to Great Sand Dunes area though. Then drive back to Moab. Zion/Toroweap, Vegas. Death Valley. Lone Pine. Yosemite. Lassen. Crater Lake. Eugene. Florence. Salem. Hood cross river to Randle. Rainier. Home. Repeat. Reload. Repeat.......add Yellowstone. Obviously starting point is in west. I lived/worked in CO UT WY CA. WA now. Live ❤️ love knows Washington too. It is epic here in summer. Winter nope. Skiing. Pleasant winter hike. Nope.

Do one the Trifecta Baldwin hill. Santa Monica to Venice and back. Vasquez rocks after brunch at Getty. I did Hollywood Hills but the dog sht smell and parking up behind Hollywood BLVD was too much and the crowd was crazy. So no thanks on that one again. Griffith is insane also on weekends but did do it once. There is Olivera to Japanese tea to Chinese to Disney to the aqueduct to Getty Mansion to Pinks to pier burger. That's not walking though. Vasquez to Devils Punchbowl Over Wrightwood back into LA.

Palisades second lake. I call that monolith Thumb. Not the actual one. Alex Honold has video climbing it or not. He has one of Tenaya Peak too. Great peak in Yosemite.

Merry Christmas from Adelaide Adam Edington

@Elise, you inspired the name of my newborn daughter! What better model for a her than than a scientist, artist, courageous adventurer, who is also kind and beautiful! 😊💜

What are the access roads and parking like for these hikes in the winter? Being from out of state, I always want to travel to CA in the offseason to avoid crowds and wildfires, but the thing that always turns me away is inaccessible roads and the tire chain rules for rental cars.

California got it all.yes .

Week 1 asking for an “Adam tries and reviews every flavor of pop tart”

Yes that one 😁

🥶 has arrived here in southern Illinois it's going to very cold here.🥶

Why isn't Poptart Ridge on the list??? 🤣 Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Winter takes a road. And often it's a 5 mile hike up said road before you get to TH. In the snow. So now Kearsarge is 21 miles not 10-12. Whitney is actually the shortest. BUT FOR MY HUMBLE INPUT Whitney is all around best. Easiest. Closest to LA. You can go up Carillion or Lone Pine Creek also. Or to Lone Pine Peak. Carillion up and right to top is gorgeous in winter. Good view overlooking iceberg lake. Hard hike though. Sequoia big tree next up the I 5. Lemon Cove entrance. #1 Sequoia in deep snow. They plow. Pull into first parking lot. Done and if you crampon it got Moro Rock too. #1 Yosemite. You are liberally in the valley with all kinds of options. Get out da car gawk. BUT Captain Obvious. Go up Nevada Falls low trail. CRAMPONS!!!!!! Then up to the last tree on first hump of halfdome. You can go to cables also. Gawk. Epic view. In trees deep snow go up until it is flat turn left. Trail is obscured. Winds up. May be Ranger ski tracks or not. #1 Kearsarge. #1 Kearsarge. You don't have to go to the pass. If real snow you won't even see the cliff switchbacks and first 6 foot 4 inch sign will be buried. #2 Moab La Sal. Gold Basin. Go to Basin. Aka giant bowl. Turn left up creek follow it to top walk ridge. The end of road is 10000+ you can get to the big parking lot through aspens. BEWARE OF AVALANCHE CONDITIONS! #2 LASSEN VNP. If you can get to it it has the most snow in California but sad cousin. To East Sierras. Yosemite is king but I like Big Pine Creek and Palisades. Hard approach in winter. But you follow the creek. Duh. Still hard if newbie. Navigating through trees etc.

What do you recommend as a first time climb? I live in the US

How about the hike from tuolumne Meadows down to the valley

Seriously you have to do Baldwin hill and the steps of horror.

If it is SOCAL. Watch their videos. I now bow to their coverage. Places been. Grudgingly. They are SOCAL 🤴 👑 Royalty. Sierras are best USA offers year round access. Yellowstone ploughs from Mammoth to Cooke City. So you can walk anything off road on that 80 mile stretch. Might freeze to death but hey it is snow. I like Moab best in winter. 5 peaks over 12k! And Henry's if that ain't enough. Road from Zion to Bryce to Hankville over the pass is great, drive through capital reef also. I hit I70 go in from north. Skip Blanding.

Hi- I think pop tarts taste better in the winter cold. Do you agree?

👍👍♥️♥️

you guys missed the fresh snow fall of icehouse canyon🤣
