hi, may i know how long did it take for all the trail? and is cellphone signal good? i'm a solo female traveling this january!
Off roading on a road? Alrighty!
Great video! Thanks 🙏! I saw a dirt biker in your video. Do you know if it’s possible to rent a dirt bike, pay the fee at the jump off point, and do the hike oneself?
This road is a lot of fun! Went through it with my Subaru Crosstrek a few years ago. Saw all sorts of vehicles, including a Chevy Astro van, etc doing the road. I like how it’s just rough enough to keep things fun and exciting but it’s not brutal that you’d need a major off road rig. Only gripe is a lot areas are truly one lane and can be a pain with two way traffic. Awesome video and I suggest anyone giving the road a try if they get the opportunity!
How long did it take you to hike it? On altrails it says 14 miles
Where do you park start the short cut
🔥🔥
089 Micheal Grove
This is great! I have a group of 14 adults doing this next week. Did you follow the AllTrails map clockwise as they map it out? I've seen several suggestions online to take the scenic route but can't figure out where that would start on the app. Can you clarify?
Do you need a reservation to park?
Which airbnb did you stay at?
Going to be camping there in a few weeks. Will try to walk this trail.
Any carjacking issues with car rentals in Big Sur? (Planning a trip to Big Sur)
my favorite hike of all time --- only worth it if the falls are full though
What holiday weekend was this?
4th of July
Thank you for sharing! Seems like a nice drive for an AWD SUV, very cool terrain shifts as well
Any techy stuff in the trails? Planning on going this weekend with the fam in 22 Tacoma OR bone stock 😅
You'll be fine going stock 😂 anything remotely techy can be avoided, it's a real easy trail
do you need a reservation? or can anyone walk the trials? is it totally open to public?
No, you only have to pay if you're parking in their lots. Free parking info starts @ 3:10
I went the hard way. Fr was shaking the entire way to the beach lmaooo
It's crazy 😂
Is it available for Rzr or canams?
You should be good! I've never seen any restrictions signs. I've seen bicycles and even a street legal/registered trike on the trail.
The music is annoying and unnecessary!
Hey man dope content, I'm planning a solo trip around September time, can you share that airbnb that you stayed at?
Thanks! It's an Airbnb unit in the Marina Tower Waikiki, near the Hilton
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍69
Im impressed with the back and forth to your camera 😅 i would be dyingggg
I end up doing an extra mile or 2, definitely trying to reduce that in some way in the future!
Lol That road is NOT "off-roading." It is a fire road level travel, at best. Signed, Regular traveler of that easy going drive
Never visit Yosemite in the month of June, believe I know
Thanks. Most helpful as I plan my upcoming trip. Your video was especially helpful for planning my photo locations while there!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and inspiring vlog to us♥️👌🏻 love it and more video's 🫰🏻🥰
Thank you! Will do!
I stayed in that same apt when I visited great location
Agreed!
Thanks so much for making this, super helpful! So it wasn't too cold in January to get in the water? Did you wish you had brought some water shoes to walk around on the rocks and sand at the beach?
No problem, thanks for commenting! The water was definitely cold, but since it wasn’t windy and the sun was out, I was able to warm back up. There’s only upsides to using water shoes, comfort/grip, but I don’t normally wear them. There are some slippery rocks and loose rocks, just had to be extra careful. Sand is more on the coarse side. However, it wasn’t bad.
Hawaii is the only place I try to comeback every year and so beautiful, Thanks for the video amazing content
Thanks bro! I agree, I want to visit the other islands too.
@@NCGTravel yes, by the way is there any way that you can make a video how to start vlogging like you? Since your videos are amazing
My trip this April was incredible!! Thanks to you man. I’ve added some of the activities from your first vlog. Definitely coming back end of the year. Dope vids btw🤙🏽
Great to hear bro, I'll be there towards the end of the year too!
Wow, shots are stunning man 🔥🔥
Thank you so much 😀
Who's headed to Hawaii this summer? What are your plans?!
Where did u park ? And is there an entrance fee ?
I parked in the main lot, the parking info starts at 3:45 - there's footage of the lot and additional places to park if full.
Around the 2;10 mark are you on the ledge of the building? lmao
Maybe 🫣😂
I climbed the famous POTATO CHIP ROCK on Mount Woodson near San Diego on Friday, April 19th, 2024. If you are the young lady afraid of spiders (or know this person) whom I met on the way down on this date, I think you dropped something. Please contact me so I can return it to you. (expert in arachnophobia). 😁
Is there a way where you can just hike the Rocky Ridge trail and back down??
Look at the "Doud Peak" trail map: www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/doud-peak?u=i&sh=hpmnk4 I believe the Rocky Ridge trail is technically now closed. There's a fence that people crawl under or if you enter through the Soberanes Canyon trail, there's a trail split to the Rocky Ridge trail in the beginning.
What month did you go during this video? Was it hot or cold?
October, the weather was warm for the area. Transitioning from summer to fall weather. It's warming up now 70-80F.
Thanks
Thank you for sharing 🥾🥾
Beautiful video with beautiful music and very informative - thanks !!
Thank you. I just came back from there, I was staying in the campgrounds. My first time hiking through a cave, I thought it was a bit scary but I made it through. Love your video, it really gives the flavor of it.
Nice, I also found it a bit spooky going through the caves since I there weren't many people at that time
Thanks!! Hell no I'm not going. Saved me
Haha maybe take the main trail? None of that type of climbing involved
Nice. What about Snakes?
Great video…thank you! Saw your comment on All Trails app to view this video :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
This is the WORST THING. The park service begs you not to do this. For ill behaved tourist only. We will yell at you and make your experience horrible
Interestingly, locals that frequented the "shortcut" directed us to it while we were on the main trail
@@NCGTravel well I guess I follow the reccomendations from the actual park rangers and respect the place I am. How do you think it has not been ruined before you go there vs after you and many others leave? It is a simple think of myself vs the place mentality.
Interestingly, the video begins with the parking area where I received a ticket. It's not possible to park anywhere on the streets in that vicinity. Additionally, the narrow trails make the hike even more challenging. Overall, the trip is not worth it.
One of the residents saved me from getting a ticket, we ended up waiting for a spot in the lot to open up seen @ 2:33
Thanks, Nikko. Useful information. Nice video.
Way to pimp out all trails for your benefit. That's not what the community sharing was meant for. Stick to UA-cam if your looking for likes and followers. Like Mt Mutombo
Any travel tips you'd recommend? I am saving this for my first solo trip this April. love the vid man!
Hey bro I have a new video out from another trip to Hawaii with more activities you could add to your next trip! Let me know how your first solo trip went
