Have fun hiking Videos

check me and my wife out on and you will see what I'm talking about

+Roger Lamb Thanks very much, I appreciate that.

No more Todd, no more. 

+Adventure Outdoors indeed and with video to prove it, sir!

+Smell N Roses I still have cat like reflexes for an old man.

WTH?? Must be some bits not passing customs through my internet tubes.

+Jim Cyr  No idea what you are talking about, I simply jumped over the camera.

Bunch of granola eating fools! Cutting tool, combustion device, container, cordage and cover are the cornerstones of the foundations of the kit. So... knife, firesteel, metal water bottle or canteen cup, 550 cord and a poncho. everything else is a luxury,except perhaps a first aid kit.

These are the essentials, not luxuries

+Joe Lee We hope you will enjoy the trail. It will be awesome!

+Friendly Hiker Oh, yes, the Hoh River Trail is a good choice! Also consider checking out the Spider Gap-Buck Creek Pass loop in the Glacier Peak Wilderness and the Enchantment Lakes Traverse in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.My personal recommendation for the #1 best hike on Mount Adams is the Bird Creek Meadows-Iceberg Lake hike. Wildlife (mountain goats), glaciers, meadows, canyon vistas, waterfalls, and lakes abound. It is located in the Mount Adams Recreation Area on the southwest side of the mountain. While this hike isn't a backpacking trail, backcountry camping is allowed at Sunrise Camp. //www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report.2015-10-16.2041219417High Camp via the Divide Camp Trailhead is quite amazing. It is quite popular and located on the northwest side of the mountain, just off of the PCT. It is a gorgeous glacial basin located at the base of Adams Glacier.Just above High Camp, you can make the short hike off-trail to Glacier Lake, which sits at the base of the glacier. High Camp is backpackable. High Camp has the best maintained trail, (compared to the other two options I gave which require some minimal route-finding along lesser-maintained trails.)Most online hiking guides describe taking the Killen Creek Trail, but I would recommend taking the Divide Camp Trail instead, since the Killen Creek Trail is quite dusty. Plus, the Divide Camp Trail is a lot greener. //www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2895316Foggy Flat, Devils Garden, & Avalanche Valley is probably the best backpacking trip on Mount Adams, but can be pretty rugged. The views from the campsite at Avalanche Valley is jaw-dropping. //www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-adams-highlineHere is a useful online interactive hiking guide for the Mt. Adams area: //www.nwhiker.com/GPNFadams.html

+Elemental Fluttershy★ Thanks for the tip! We decided to go back to Washington in the coming years, to do Olympic (Hoh trail, the coast etc). And wanted to revisit the Goat Rocks and hike around Mt. Rainier. But Adams just entered that list too :-) Thanks. Will be a long vacation but totally woth it.

Thanks. Yes, we had to apply for a special entry Visa that was valid for half a year. So there was also another reason besides snow why we were doing big miles at the end of the journey ;-)

+Joshua Friesema Thanks!

+Joanne Parker Hi Joanne. For us the hardest part physically was the Sierra Nevada mountain range. 35 km a day in high altitudes with a lot of high mountain passes that we had to climb. Mentaly the hardest part was Northern Oregon. 'Almost' there and we could not go further because of the fires that were blocking the trail. Mental blow. But luckely we got a lot of rain so we could still make it :-)
