I can’t express how special it was to go on a backpacking adventure with the person who first inspired me to try backpacking, in the very mountain range that shaped so many of your incredible videos. I really enjoyed your take on our trip-your narration and style are what drew me to backpacking and sharing my adventures on UA-cam. It was a journey for the books, and I’m thrilled we captured it with two unique perspectives to remember it by. Running into those utility vehicles and workers was quite a surprise, but after the meetup at South Llano, I’m just glad they were clothed 🤣. It was an absolute pleasure adventuring with you, amigo!
Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for being such a good hiking partner. I love seeing multiple videos of the same trip. It's neat to see a story told teo different ways. I honestly had never even considered there being other people out there. So that was definitely a bit shocking. We'll have to explore a bit more over on that western side in the future.
I'm really envious of you two. This was an awesome trip and I really enjoyed watching your and Travis's videos. I never hiked this side of GUMO so it really was a treat. Thank you so much for showing this and all I can say is WOW!
I'm happy to have you active again on UA-cam and a bit on trail. It's great for the hiking community. That part of the park is so different and so amazing. I'd still love to drive out there on Williams Ranch Road sometime.
Spectacular trip Cameron !! Views for miles in the beautiful Texas desert !! I grew up in El Paso , but didn't get into backpacking until I moved to California and began my love of Backpacking in the Sierras . I'm definitely going to try and do some trips out there !! Those canyons and peaks are amazing . Thanks for taking us along !!!
Justin, you definitely need to do some trips out there. There are some many cool things to see, all packed into a park that really isn't all that big. One cool thing about the west side is you are almost certain to not run into anyone else. Unless they drive up on a side by side. Haha. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for watching. You definitely should hike the trail if you get the chance anytime soon. Trail is in pretty good shape until lower Shumard Canyon; it's a bit overgrown but not bad.
As a former GUMO seasonal ranger in the 1970’s, I’m familiar with the Williams ranch area but not the Kincaid trail that you took so I really enjoyed seeing it in your video! A great hike and I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for watching. I'm hoping one day to hike the entire Kincaid Trail. That Western side of the park is so cool and so different from the rest of the park.
Man, this is just a stunning area. Maybe one of these days this old man can make it out there before I hang up my spurs. There is cattle out there. It’s considered trespass grazing and I read where it’s been a problem for the park service because it creates unnatural competition with wildlife.
You definitely need to make it out there. There is so much cool stuff to explore and a lot of different options for 1 night trips that you wouldn't have to carry "that" much water. I was pretty sure the cattle in the park was illegal. But honestly, being able to follow cattle trails made it manageable to navigate on day 2. It would have been much more difficult without them. Not saying it's right. But it helped us out on this trip.

Wow! I would have fallen numerous times due to staring up at El Cap. Thx for the show and tell!
It's hard not to stare. It's so cool from all the different perspectives. The west side of the park is so amazing. Thanks so much for watching.

Have wanted to hike the trail around El Cap for a while now. Thanks for the "in the weeds" view of it!

Looks like an amazing adventure
Thanks for watching. Yeah, it was awesome. Travis is a great hiking partner. And that west side of the park is so different than the rest of the park.
@CameronHall88 you're welcome
