The dolphins I saw were pretty close to the surface. I swam out probably 100 meters from shore and waited for a while until a small pod of dolphins swam past me. The dolphins don't show up every day, but it is a pretty popular spot.

I'm glad you got to experience it. It's an amazing place!

These shots were all around Pebble Ski Resort area a couple winters ago. 🏂

Nebo would be a good one! I've been meaning to get that one checked off. 😀

Thanks!

The trail is 3-4 miles total, depending on which parking spot you start at. It's an out-and-back trail with a loop in the middle. You can make it shorter if you skip the loop to the 400 year old tree. It probably took us about 2 hours to do the full trail.

This was my first time hiking Twin Peaks, so I don't know exactly how much harder/easier it is to go the direct route up to the saddle. I did go down that route, so I can say that it is a little shorter with less total elevation gain than the Robinson's variation since you don't go up and down any smaller peaks along the way. However it seemed like the Robinson's variation had a lot less scree/loose rocks to get up than the normal way. The Robinson variation might also have a little more scrambling/exposure, depending on the exact route you take.

I would agree with murphy - they're about equal in difficulty - Robinson has more scrambling/exposure, but it avoids that horrible ascent to the 10,780 saddle between Twins and Sunrise - Robinson also offers that great view of Twins' north face - and best of all you can connect them as a loop from the same trailhead.

Thanks! That's awesome, I hope you have an amazing trip! 😃🤙

@@SeekingSnow thank you! I appreciate it 😁

Yes, almost! I've been getting excited for the changing colors. 😃

I haven't made it up to either of those, unfortunately. But based on some beta I read, it sounded like from the saddle between twin peaks and sunrise, you can drop down on the south side to avoid some 5th class and then from sunrise you can follow the east ridge and then again drop down south a little bit to avoid more technical terain. So without actually having done that section, I'd guess your trail is on the south side. Hopefully you can get some better info somewhere. If you end up doing it, have fun and be safe! That's a tough/technical route.

@@murphytravelsofficial Thanks for a quick reply! I am going tomorrow!

You're welcome, and good luck!

@@murphytravelsofficial Made it to the saddle, looked for a way up but bailed. Ill have to get some more climbing and scrambling experience and try again next year. A little too steep for me at this time. Still a good hike though. That scree field probably has it's own circle in hell.

Nice, I'm glad you made it down safe! Yeah, that loose scree field is a pain to get through. I'm glad you still had a good hike! 😀

Whoah, that would be a little frightening. I know there are bear sightings in that area, but have never had an encounter with one. Glad you were safe!

@@murphytravelsofficial thanks! We saw the track as we were leaving, so we just left faster! I’m guessing that in 10 years or so, grizzlies will be all over swan valley. I’m hearing too many stories.

Yeah, you're probably right. I wouldn't be surprised by more bears in the area in the coming years.

Thanks! 😁

Hi, thanks! I thought the trails were fairly easy and should be pretty doable for most kids. The trails were in good condition when we were there and the steeper sections had stairs. There were also some workers/guides at a few spots to help give directions when we were there.

@@rosab6259 You're welcome! Enjoy your hike 😀

Nice! I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Skyreef is a pretty awesome spot! 😃

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! How much food and water to take will vary a lot depending on the person, fitness level, and total amount of planned hiking time. I took 3 liters of water since the route I took didn't really have any filterable water after the first couple of miles.

You're welcome🙂. Yeah, I thought the ridge scramble was worse than getting up to the actual summit. It's a great hike, I hope you have a fun/safe hike!

You're welcome! Glad you got to see most of them 😀

Thanks!

Yeah, it was really neat! I'm glad we stopped here to check out the ruins.

Thanks! It was tons of fun! 😃

Thanks! It was an awesome hike!

Thanks! It was really fun! 😀

Hi! Welcome to my channel, and thanks for watching 😀. Indonesia seems like a beautiful place. I hope to visit there someday.

Nice! It's an awesome area. Have fun exploring!

Thanks a ton! 😃

There are lots of bugs and spiders on Maui, though I don't remember running into an unusual amount on this hike or at the falls. Snakes are very rare in Hawaii and aren't something you typically need to worry about.

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. 😀

@murphytravelsofficial question is you should have 1000 likes...

@@diverm2371 That's what I've been thinking ha 😂. I keep hoping this channel will take off, but it's been a long process. I appreciate your comments though. It helps keep me motivated to make more videos. 😁

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😃

There was still this amount of snow 2 weeks ago? Or when did you do this hike ?

Hey! This was about 4 weeks ago now. I think the first weekend of August.

Hi, thanks! My favorite snorkel spot that I've been to so far is probably Buccanos (SkyReef is a close second). I haven't had the chance to try out Money Bar or some others yet. Chankannab had good fish, but the coral didn't seem as good as SkyReef or Buccanos. But Chankannab also has a lot of other cool activities. Punta Sur has a lot of cool stuff, but at least where I snorkeled, the snorkeling wasn't that good. You'll probably have a great time with any of those options, really. Hopefully this helps a bit. I hope you enjoy your trip!

Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
