FYI for anyone coming from the Valley up the 60, you can buy a permit before you get up there at the Ace in Globe, AZ. These two tried to do it without a permit and realized there was a Game and Fish officer there, then were forced to drive an hour out of the way to Whiteriver Junction to get one.

Great video guys. At 57 I am hoping my wife and I get a chance in the next few years to do this. Awesome reminder that we will definitely need to ramp up our training prior to any attempt to summit. Thanks for all the info.

Great video! Hope to do this soon. Quick Question, what camera did you use to record. I love the quality and colors.

Congrats ! 7-time summiter here. You came in from Tucson, but I grew up in Pasadena. Climbed Whitney with two friends and a Shelty named Shadow in 1970. Took full packs to the summit and spent the night in the hut (1971). I know your exhilaration. Take it to the bank, and be proud.

Awesome video! This was a blast to watch. Great detail in permits and what to expect. Excited to watch through more of your videos!

Nice! I'm scheduled Oct 23rd for my second shot at this amazing hike. Thanks for the reminder of the highlights so I can keep training hard before October.

This is a gnarly trail. I apparently did not get lost as I followed the dots, but even then it was wicked. I was tempted to turn back, but was too embarrassed by all the teenagers and kids climbing around me. The last 1/3 or 1/4 of this trail is barely a hike - more like a scramble/climb - even tree climbing. The last 15 feet is vertical.

Great video, I'll definitely use your recommendations when I attempt Mount Whitney in August. Congrats on finishing the hike!

Very nice!

You guys rock! Superb stamina and style. It was 1975 when a buddy of mine and I journeyed from Flagstaff to Whitney Portal just to hike up and back in one day, just as you guys did. But we were much younger than you (22 years old), and despite our conditioning, it was exhausting. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing!!!

The permit info was very helpful. Gives me hope, lol if/when I ever feel up to attempting this hike. Great job! Btw…what time did you all end?

I just did the Rim2Rim2Rim 04/03/24 It took me 27 hours,with a little bit of rest and no sleep but I made it 🙌 is extremely difficult.

How do you train downhill? More hiking?

When I was 16 in 1994 (now 46) my friend and I camped there and hiked to constatation lake at the start of the steep switch backs. It was an amazing hike. Back then you didn't need a stupid pass to hike the lands that belong to us!

Great job!

6/24/24, first time ever for me and I summited it. It was wonderful and magical. So proud of myself. Your video brought me flashback

Good video. You folks made amazingly good time for a couple of old farts. My average time was 16 hrs. in my early 50's. I am hoping to do it again sometime if not for recent circulation problems in my legs. I can at least still make the hike to Lone Pine Lake for now.

Great video!

Fantastic work my friend, views are more than breathtaking 👏👏

It was really a wonderful Mt. Whitney hike!! You've shared a video that makes us passionate to watch it. The scenery was very beautiful, and the view was just fantastic!! Thanks for showing and sharing.

Stunning views! Thanks for sharing your journey.

I've done 2 of these : Grand Canyon SK to BA, and Superstition Flatiron. The GC hike is one of my all time favorite hikes next to Mnt. Whitney. I did it on June 23, 2007, in 12 hours. The temperature at the Indian Garden ranger station was 120º at 3 pm. I drank 7 liters of fluid. I also did some minor hiking in Organ Pipe Cactus. No major trails or significant landmarks, but simply interesting desert landscape, fauna and flora. I ran into a young big horn sheep, a baby tortoise, a tarantula, and a standoff between a rattlesnake and a jackrabbit.

The Flatiron trail in Superstitions is gnarly. I didn't know what I was getting into. It certainly has a variety of landscapes and views, but eventually turns into a bushwacking nightmare. The trail gets progressively steeper and less like a trail, until it becomes boulder and tree branch climbing, and navigating by trail markers painted on the rocks. Eventually the last 20 feet or so are vertical. I was tempted to turn back several times, but was embarrassed by the young kids climbing around me. The view at the top is definitely worth the climb, but it helps to be aware of the struggle and mentally prepared.

Planning on trying the Mt. Baldy trail for the first time this August. I love how you have the topographical maps to show the trails! Have you ever tried the Nankoweap Trail in the North Rim of the Grand Canyon? Just came back from there although we didn't go far down into the canyon because of the summer heat.

A short but special trail to do would be the Hot Shots memorial trail in Yarnell AZ , I’ve done it once and I’ll be back ❤

Did you have to have a permit for the campground?

Loved it!!!!

That's a really nicely done video. Great scenery, but also the data on the actual hikes and the Google Earth views are super helpful. Thanks for taking the time!

You guys are beast. It’s a dream for me to do this hike someday. This is amazing.

Your video is very informative. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures.

Why Why does this happen?

Great video. Found it from AllTrails!

Please, no diving or floating around the base of the waterfall. You guys made a great video.

Wow...I'm adding this to my bucket list!! We have a permit to explore Aravaipa Canyon June 10-12, 2024...lots of creek crossing there to. The beauty of being retired...we'll go eplore the Cibecue Falls during the week...thanks for sharing!

My son and I took the bear Canyon route up past seven Falls. This added what I referred to as the useless thousand we then went down the road past the ski park to Summerhaven for a total of 26 miles.

New subscriber here. Thanks for sharing.

Love it there but fyi for those wanting to go swimming is NOT allowed!

Looks nice but 45 per person is a bit steep

Are your feet wet 👀

Just gorgeous episode guys, beautifully explained!

Very cool.I've seen pictures them. But, I didn't know they were that rare.

Oh my goodness! They are so magical! Who knew, Now I do!!!!!

That was such an amazing hike with all those beautiful saguaro cactus! Very interesting facts of the Crested Saguaro!

Bruh

Just arrived in Flagstaff. I heard about this ride but it was not sold to me properly. I am excited to do it now. Thank you. And thanks for the wind comment! nice touch. Also, the two of you average 18mph? That is impressive. My wide averages about 13mph so i guess i will not do this ride with her.

keep your poles out of the rescue box,

Thanks for the upload. Gonna do this one sometime this summer!
