The trip started at the Lewis Lake Trail Head and follows the Lost Lakes Trail to Lost Lake. On day 2 we continue on Lost Lakes Trail then take the Deep Lake Trail to Deep Lake. Our final day we back track on the Deep Lake Trail then south on the Lost Glacier Lakes Trail back to the Lewis Lake Trail Head.

Great to see you, Bryan! ❤ And David, too! We'll be watching this tonight. Can't wait! 😊
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the video this evening.
@@BryanDeLayIt was great! ❤
I enjoyed this video. It had some awesome scenery. Thanks for taking me along Bryan.
Thanks SeniorHiker77! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful high country. Nice to see you a hike with your friend again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Rick!
I always love watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Thank you very much NeverTooOldToHike. Love that name BTW.
I have backpacked this area several times and it is one of my favorites for a weekend trip. It is a great place to stop off and prepare for hiking in the Winds or just a quick weekend getaway. I say quick but it is an 8 hour drive for me! Those views on the north side of Brown's Peak are stunning.
Thanks for watching this video Gregg. The Snowy Range was very beautiful, although I could have used more time to acclimate to the elevation. It's a little more than an 8 hour drive for me.
That's a really beautiful range! Thanks for sharing your trip. Looking forward to the Winds video.
Thanks Woody! Hope to have the Winds video uploaded next week.
Looked like a beautiful area! Nice campsites; a picnic table is a welcome bonus. I always look forward to your return to UA-cam after the summer.
Thanks OutdoorOperator! Two more videos of the summer trip coming soon.
Enjoyed the beautiful scenery from a part of Wyoming that's often overlooked or just passed through going to places like the Winds, Tetons and Yellowstone. Good to see Coach has his pup hiking with him! P.S., this msg is for Coach; sure do miss your backpacking videos and nice to see your Lab with you!
Thanks John! The Snowy Range is overlooked by people traveling long distances to NW Wyoming, but it seems to be heavily used by locals and people from Colorado. Coach's dog is now 5 years old. Last year he flew to Idaho, so he could not bring Buddy.
glad you guys got out there again together, amazing scenery and campsties!
Thanks Nicole! This is a great loop.
Hey Bryan......glad you made it home. Really tickled to see you made it to the Snowy Range. Even happier to know you liked it. I so look forward to starting my "Western Swing" in the Snowy's every year.
Oh, enjoyed the video too. And btw, Brooklyn lake is really cold. I can attest to that!
Tom
Thanks Tom! The Snowy Range was very nice, although more crowded than I expected. I bet the water in Brooklyn is cold.
Awesome video! It's so nice that Coach and Buddy could join you! The Snowy Range is one we haven't visited yet, but we hope to. It's not too terribly far from where we live. 😊 Looks like you had a peaceful trip! ❤
Thank you very much. It was great to have Coach and Buddy on this trip. The weather was perfect.
Great video! I know you have no control of how UA-cam alerts subscribers but even though I have subscribed to your channel I have to go look for your videos. I haven’t forgotten you, just takes me some time to find you every now and then. Great scenery!
Thank you very much Chris for continuing to watch my videos. I'm sorry that YT does not notify you of a new video from me.
I was just thinking about Coach the other day! I’m happy to see y’all out there in that beautiful area.
Coach is doing great and we had a wonderful trip.
Beautiful views, great video...keep them coming! Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davey.
Thank you very much Davey! Glad you enjoyed the video.
You’re in my neck of the woods. I’m about 30 minutes away in Laramie. Was just up there this morning. Beautiful place. Has gotten a little crowded lately. But still wonderful
We drove through Laramie to get to the Snowy Range. It is a very beautiful, although I was a little surprised by the number of day hikers and backpackers.
👍 😎
Thanks!
Very enjoyable video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
Always quality stuff. Thx Bryan. Looking forward to the winds. Thinking of taking my third trip there late next June!!
Thank you very much fargeyonddriven8173.
👍👍🌹🌹❤❤🌷🌷👌👌😊😊
Thank you very much bolleolympus!
Thanks Bryan...it'd be interesting to see/ hear how you plan these trips that are such a distance from TN. Considering what trails, hazards, water, wildlife, etc so far from your home would seem to be a challenge...maybe an idea for a new video.
First, for this trip a friend uploaded a video of this loop. Second, I used Caltopo maps online to determine the miles, analyze the topo and look at water sources. Third, when we drove through Laramie we stopped at an outfitter and purchased a paper map. Also I downloaded the Gaia map for this area on my phone.
Thanks Bryan...I was just in Encampment a few days ago. Beautiful part of our country.
I did almost the exact same trip a few years ago. Found a thunderbox at Deep Lake which was very disappointing, but the Snowy Range is a great place to backpack. Lot of moose up there, and pretty good fishing.
Thanks for commenting LoftusRoadLad! What is a thunderbox? Wish we had seen a moose.
Thanks for taking me along, 😊
You're welcome Gunny. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you very much for another wonderful video.
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed this video.
Hi Bryan! Beautiful scenery. I can image buffalo roaming those paries. When using your hiking pole to set up your tarp, does it put a hole in your ground sheet? Also, what shoes were you wearing and can you recommend them? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks jmash41! I put duck tape on the ground cloth and then used a punch to create a perfect circle hole in the ground cloth. My hiking pole goes in the hole and it's never leaked. I've been using Altra Olympus 5 Trail Running shoes and really like them. I'm on my second pair now.
Awesome trip Bryan. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Stricky! Glad you enjoyed this video.
Hi Bryan.
Thanks for another great hiking video.
Enjoyed the scenery and your usual good narration and filming.
Questions:
Did your home suffer any damage/problems in the recent hurricane? Hate to see what has happened along the TN/NC border.
Also, I like the way you have a line drawn along a map showing where you hiked. Is there software that I could purchase that does that?
God Bless!
Thanks Ken! Fortunately we only had rain and wind with no damage. The program I use to make the animated maps is Blender. It's free with a lot of UA-cam instruction videos, but it took a while to figure out to make the maps.
@@BryanDeLay Thank you Bryan. Glad you were spared.
RE: Blender
I appreciate your help. Willgive it a try.
My grandson and I plan to meet at Grayson Highlands (VA) on Oct 24 and hike there, then go to Roan Mountain to do the balds there. Will have to monitor the situation before we head up there.
More importantly, hoping the Lord blesses all those affected by the storm and effects.
Keep up the great work, I enjoy and appreciate your efforts.
You still prefer the Duomid over the TrailStar?? A video comparison detailing your preference would be appreciated. Happy hiking.
There are trade offs. The Duomid offers more weather protection and is quicker to erect. However the Trail Star provides visibility during rain. My DCF Trail Star was beginning to delaminate so I just decided to try the Duomid. Last spring I purchased a Hammock Gear tarp that I've been using during warm weather. However, I decided to bring the Duomid out west because of the potential for high winds along with rain, hail and snow.
