@@justsaynrush9689 cool, thanks for the comment and advice! That volume is dang hard to control and tell how loud it will be. Still working on improving the sound for future vids.

@@nanners1179 Thanks for the great compliment! We definitely agree that it’s one of the best camping sites in Idaho!

@@arlenbyrd Hi, thanks for subscribing! We did this trip the third week of July. Mid August is still an awesome time to go and less bugs!

@@diannataylor2192 Thanks for watching! Happy trails!

@@dustinholbrook7435 So cool! Yep it’s a rocky and remote hike but definitely worth it. Thanks for the comment. I love hearing from people that have made the rugged hike into surprise valley and into Angel Lake!

Wow, thanks for the awesome write up of your trip! I was just wondering the other day if Angel Lake was covered in ice this time of year. Sounds like you had an epic adventure and yes, that really makes for a long day if you do it as a day hike. Reading about your adventure really makes me want to head up there again while simultaneously kind of makes me want to stay home, ha ha. Glad you had a good time and thanks again for including your story here!

@@beataclintadventures304 yeah at the the of the day I said I'll never go to that drainage again then the next day I started planing on going back to explore some other lakes there. I'm just getting old and out of shape and should have prepared with more trail hiking before attempting Angel.

Definitely, the Copper Basin loop is a very smooth road with some wash boards and will be great in a SUV. 😀

Thanks so much for the amazing comment/stories. Wow, I love hearing about how Meadow Lake and Gilmore used to be before they got really popular. I also went there around 40 years ago as a kid and we found some old news papers and receipts in the Mercantile store. I can’t remember much from that time period about the conditions at the lake though. So glad you will be making it up there again. I think we will make a trip there again this year too.

For sure, it’s a super popular area because it’s so easy to access. I do remember long ago when the road was terrible and you pretty much needed a truck to get up there.

Howdy! We use a DJI mini-3. It flies for up to 45 minutes and is very small and easy to take on trips. Highly recommended!

Yes I agree, there are still many untouched, amazing places in Idaho if you are willing to go off trail and explore a bit.

Yes, that hike was the hardest I’ve ever done. Still, I can’t quit thinking about doing it again! I actually lost 25 lbs and I’m reducing my pack weight with the hope that I can try again on a perfect weather weekend. That area is actually has a mystical feeling to it. Probably because the lack of trail and other people. Thanks for the comments!

It is a slow and bumpy road, but so worth it. We want to go again to explore some caves in the area and search for fossils. Happy trails!

@@beataclintadventures304 I had to look at it on the map, but I believe it is one of the lakes I saw when I hiked Borah. Happy Trails to you as well.

Hello, it’s just under 3 miles to the lake with about 1500 vert. Great scenery and you reach 10,000 feet at the end. The trail is perfect but a bit steep at the beginning.

Gm , thanks for getting back to me , we are planning a trip there this summer, I am from Fl so 10 k feet is a like a trip to the moon for me!! lol looking forward to it Random question I am thinking about staying in the area for a week or more do you recommend Stanley ? thank you for the info!

So true! The only thing you can count on, is not being able to count on what you will get!

Yes, we 100% agree! Just a perfect hike and a perfect place. Rivers, waterfalls, crystal clear, turquoise water, snow capped peaks, and lots of wildlife. Can’t wait to go again in 2024!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed our flower bloom video. Happy trails!

Ya, I’m with ya! Signs are pointing to another green and flower filled summer! At least that’s what I tell myself when it’s cold and rainy with a few snow flurries, ha ha.

Hello, thanks! This trip was the middle of July in 2023. 3 and a half months until the flowers bloom again!

Hello Lawrence, thanks for the great comments and we are glad that you like the videos! It’s great to hear your stories and it’s cool that you got your start hiking with your grandfather. I would not recommend trying to access Miriam Lake with a passenger car. There are just way too many big rocks and a couple of steep sections, Kane Lake, iron bog, or sawtooth lake would be 100% doable with your Corolla, I could be wrong though about Miriam Lake so it might be worth it to make the attempt but my gut tells me you really do need a four-wheel-drive vehicle for that one. thanks again and good luck!

Wow, what a quick reply! Okay, I'll take your advice, you know the road. I totally appreciate this information. Regarding Kane Lake, I loved that video as well. I especially liked your side trip up the waterfall to that little cirque/basin with the mini-tarn. Gorgeous, my kind of off-trail place. Looks like some careful scrambling would get me up there, even with a bit of an overnight pack to bivouac up there. I like that kind of stuff. I was reading recent reports about Kane Lake, and they indicated that the road is "worse than ever", whatever that means. I'll look at Iron Bog and Sawtooth Lake, though Kane looks awfully nice. Planning for last week of July. I assume there will be some crowds, but looks like a fair number of somewhat isolated camps. If you guys ever get over this way, hit me up for the really "good stuff" in the backcountry Olympic Mountains...a lifetime of hiking makes me a human encyclopedia for that area. Also, if you are headed for North Cascades at some point, I have some "beauty spots" that will knock your sox off as well. If it would appeal to you to read about my grandfather and his wonderful influence on me, I have a little memoriam about him that I think you two would like, about a five minute read. In any case, keep on hitting us with those beautiful videos. :-) @@beataclintadventures304

@@laurencesmith1490 hey Lawrence, awesome post! Making videos is a fun hobby and it’s cool to document a trip, but it is really awesome to be able to connect with people who love nature and hiking as much as us. We really appreciate your comments and the offer for information on the cascades and Olympic mountains. we have been wanting to hit up those areas and check them out for a very long time. From what I’ve seen and read these areas are some of the most incredible and unbelievable places in North America. As soon as we can save up the gas money to make a trip up there, we’ll shoot you a message and get your advice. For Kane Lake, you will have no problem getting there. The road is about 4 miles or so and is covered in very small rocks. No problem for a car. Love to hear the story about your grandfather. I had a very good connection with my father and although he passed, I think about him all the time. Great chatting with you and we wish you the best for your 2024 hiking season!

Hi, how’s it going! We made this trip in mid March timeframe, but the levels of snow in the area can very greatly year to year. It definitely gets extremely hot out there in the summer.

Ha ha, brother from another mother. The Power Wagon is a great rig for exploring Idaho and Utah for sure. You have great taste in trucks and outdoor areas!

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! That definitely was a challenge for me. I liked that you appreciated the additional nature shots we added; it’s a good reminder to add that stuff into future videos. Thanks again my friend!

Oh no! I bet that was a super cold and memorable experience. I think we will call that spot Logan’s Dropoff from now on as well, ha ha!

Hi Gerry, thanks for the compliment! We are down in South East Idaho and are still hoping to get up to central and North Idaho for future videos, depending on how much gas costs next year, ha ha.

Wow, that is so awesome that you had visited the lake that long ago! The early 2000’s were the first time we made it up there. The lake seemed about the same at that time, but there was a lot less visitors and the trail was much less developed. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing!

@@beataclintadventures304 I used to camp in a meadow on the NE side near where you camped. The ground was soft enough to get a good nights sleep🙂. Once I dragged a 4X5 view camera and film holders loaded with Ekta chrome transparency film up there and got a great picture of the lake after an early September morning snowfall. Places like Kane Lake, Bruneau Canyon, Boise River, Silver City, Warm Lake, various hot springs, etc. were my escape from military life. Later in Boise met my dear wife but we moved away due to the price of real-estate.

Thank you for the nice comment, we definitely love nature. 🙂

Thanks! Hope you have a great time. Yes, fires are prohibited at both Alpine and Sawtooth lakes.

For sure! This year my goal is 36lbs pack weight and also I’ll be 20 lbs lighter! Going to have to get a lighter sleeping pad at a minimum, so that’s going to hurt my wallet.

Awesome!! A great hike for sure, but we are definitely fans of the Redfish shuttle. Take the first shuttle so you get the best camping spot!

What type of drone do you own,. If you don't mind me asking..

It’s a DJI mini 3.

We own a bebop 2 from Parrot For the past few years. Obviously not very backpacker, friendly. The mini three is the one I would like to upgrade to. My old drone has to have an outlet to recharge everything. And does not fold. Could you let me know what your thoughts are about? The Mini 3 flying in wind. Or any other issues. Thank you.. Howard and kris

Very cool, thanks! It was a rough one (for me) but I just keep thinking about doing it again.

If you use the Redfish lake shuttle to take you across Redfish lake, it is just under 10 miles with 2800 feet vertical to Barron lake.

Thanks for the comment! i’m curious what your thoughts would be on the Lemhi range. In our shadow Lakes video, you can see that the mountains are formed by stratified layers of rock twisted up on their sides. It’s an interesting area geologically.

Hi Gerry, for sure! It’s a great hike and I talked to a guy that stocked Angel with fish via a helicopter, so they are up there! Check out Moose Lake on your map as well.

Couldn’t agree more. I think the mountains in Idaho are the best. Not too big, not too small.

Then don't say it.

Thanks! Definitely a challenging hiking area with lots of vertical climbing, whichever direction you go.

Whoa, awesome story! You picked an even more spicy route. I wanna try that hike someday soon. 2 lakes for the price of one on that trip!

This hike was done on July 19th and July 20th of 2023.
