Is this on All Trails? If yes, by which name??

Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Congratulations. I just did the STP for the first time. I did it in 2 days. It was life changing. The single biggest challenge I have taken on. Great video man.

Which women hiking shoes you wear for the Mt Whitney? Boots or trail running shoes?

Kudos!

Great to see you two out doing this as father and son. Hope life it good and you're soaking up every moment. Ken, Tyler, Ryan and myself all say hi 🤙

Lovely video and nice thoughts in your description!

I really would like to see the process of filming your hiking! Love it!! keep it up 🎉🎉🎉

Nice work John! Have been eyeing this, appreciate the tips!

Nice, I did it last year with my dad! In two days though 😅 - J Yuly

😮😮😮❤❤❤☮️☮️☮️💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

Are there crevasses in the route?

Is this a Moraine lake?

Steens Mpuntain is a real sacred place for me & I hope to get back there in 2025. I tried swimming for a few minutes in Wildhorse Lake but could not linger long in its icey temperature. Getting down there the trail was a bit dicey & that was some time ago. I Wonder how that descent is these days. Relaxing by the lake was worth the effort. The loop road up from Frenchglen has a washboard surface which is fine for most any passenger vehicles but the descending portion from the summit (ending at the hwy. south of Frenchglen) was not, at least back in 2006. Maybe that has changed. Kiger gorge is another area worth exploring & from the summit parking area one can proceed by foot on a dirt road the highest point of the mountain. It takes only a few minutes.

Bummer.

At least you're not getting skunked. You caught a dogfish❤

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Great video! Love the dog POV!

@dongmeigu805 0 seconds ago Hi John I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing! I would like to know which month and day you two started your AV1 hiking.

i could never live where theres no water ❤

Great video! On the day you submitted did you leave your tents and full size packs at trail camp and return to them after the summit?

I remember going on a camping trip with my then girlfriend and our dog, Laika. My ex was complaining that she was cold even though she had a really expensive sleeping bag. I on the other hand had to keep my sleeping bag open because Laika was adamant to sleep right next to me and only me. I wasn't cold for even a second.

He said stop it dad I’m sleeping

Your girlfriend (I'm assuming) it's very pretty! :D also your puppy is adorable.

He is so cute

Vizsla do make great feet warmers

Always hate when they bring their 🐕

Those toe beans are the warmest while hiking

What an adorable puppy!!

Doesn’t look to bad from the video but videos don’t always do it justice. As a couple who has done the enchantments thru hike & hidden lake lookout last year, do you think this hike is pretty achievable or comparable? Also would you suggest this or vesper peak if you had to choose one? Thanks. Love the video!

Bucket list hike and I finally have my shot in late September. Thanks for the awesome vid!

Thank you so much for picking up and hauling trash out that was left by others! "Come on people!"

How steep does it get in the vía ferrata? I love trekking but need to avoid climbing.

My family and I had a similar experience back in 2010. They were just re-opening from the devastating flash flood a few years earlier that required the entire village to be evac'd by choppers, not just the backpackers. I could be wrong on it having been 2010, but I think that's when they re-opened. We actually made it into the camp ground, which was still mostly destroyed from the previous flood, even after 2 years. We got set up, and by evening we were told to move to higher ground, because bad weather was happing out on the plateau (between the Kingman area, Peach Springs, and Seligman. This is the same type of event that wiped them out 2yrs earlier. We moved, and woke up to rain, and the tiny stream that ran through the campground was becoming large. We were advised to get water from the potable source asap, and "they" were still uncertain if the area would flood. We hiked down to Mooney Falls, through what was becoming thigh and crotch deep muddy water. Climbed down and saw the falls, and then headed out and back to camp. The water was rising on the way back. We packed up, and with fully loaded packs, because we hadn't eaten hardly any of the food we'd brought, we were walking fast, the couple of miles back to the village. As we left the village, about where that orange bridge is in your video, a village member on horseback stopped us and warned that the flash flood was coming, they didn't know which of the canyons in that immediate area that it was going to drop down into, and if we got caught in the 4mi long box of the exit canyon, we'd be killed. So there we were, my wife, myself, and our daughter, age 10 I think. We "jogged" and hiked fast, up and out of that canyon section, and got back out to the gravel riverbed section, kept on trucking for the parking lot up top. It was a brutal 2 days, and the speed hike out, with the threat of death, was not great. To those looking to go, the trash that John was picking up, is not from backpackers. Also, the village smells like a garbage dump, because the residents have no way to get rid of their trash. So the trash is piled up outside their homes, and everywhere else, while they wait for the government to send in choppers with a clean up crew in hazmat suits, to haul it all away every few months. If you're planning to pay to have your gear taken down by their horses (they aren't walking mule teams like you see at the Grand Canyon Nat'l Park, they are literally "running" horses, like you see in the video. Your gear may not make it down, if you know what I mean. As you walk through the outskirts of the village, coming into the main town area, you will see all the gear and ice chests/coolers stacked behind the homes of the residents. After we returned home, our legs broke out in something like hives, from our butts to our feet, due to us walking in that muddy water, which I'm guessing, contained sewage from the village.

No they are not! Humans are Dangerous

May I know which month did you go? Any guidebook and maps to recommend? Thank you!

Wile E. Coyote would be the perfect name!

Yes dangerous

We are experienced hikers and want to incorporate out new granddaughter into the activity in the Dolomites. We hope to find a service that will drive one of our group plus baby for a couple of trail sections. We are fit enough to carry the baby the whole time but she may not be as keen as the old folk so we want some back up ideas. Thanks to anyone who has constructive suggestions.

Do u leave the tent on the way up or have to pack everything before go up? Great view.

Nice video jorunal !!! you guys made it seem very easy 😀

B

Look at them bugs

What time of year did you do this hike?

Congrats on the climb! Where did you get the Mt Whitney sign from? Was it already up there?

What size packs did you two use?

Greetings from Indonesia by way of WA. That's a really well done video! I noticed you're drinking water from the steam and a pipe. Are you using a water purifier or what?
