Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This breathtaking hike in the San Juan national forest of Colorado will leave you speechless! We start this hike in the South Mineral campground across the street from the trail head. Starting at well over 10,000 feet of elevation. The trail is 6.8 miles round trip. It took us three hours to reach Ice Lake and it was so beautiful! You cannot miss this hike if your in the area. We drive pass Silverton, Colorado to find dispersed camping. For dinner Kellie makes salmon hibachi.

A little preview of paradise, maybe? God is so awesome.
Thanks for taking us with you. ❤😊
Best video ever, the hike, flowers, falls, lake and especially the salmon.
When I hear a lot of Cicadas near water, I always fish with artificials, with my fly rod. The fish hit them hard!
The Lake and the Flowers are your reward. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Thank you for taking us to such an amazing place!!!! ...and how can you not love Pikas!
YES CODY !!
IT LOOKS LIKE THE SOUND OF MUSIC ❤
The lake was amazing. Boy, I bet you both passed out for the night✨
Thank you I enjoyed the hike from my bed !
Thank you for sharing these beautiful places.. I hiked some when I was younger but now am unable. So this is the only way I'll ever see these beauties. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You two are amazing!
Thank you❤! My wife and I are in our seventies have followed you from the beginning but this video was off the charts we never could never do this may God bless you and keep you both safe!
Beautiful flowers,trees and animals and bluest water I have ever seen. Enjoyed the waterfalls too❤
Guys guys guys!! That’s the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen 🥰 God’s handiwork 🙏 I’m so glad you took us along! Thank you both! That truly made my evening! Love y’all 💜
Wow stunning place,and love the smile Cody gets with his fishing pole in his hand❤❤
That blue lake was the reward for that long hike. You guys should get some walking poles to hike with. It helps with back and leg pain.
That hike just brought me to tears..so beautiful. And the drone footage with your music choice was so touching. I almost cannot get over it. Thank you.
You two are made for one another. Cody is so laid back and Kelli, you can get a bit frustrated at times, but Cody just listens and behaves like a good husband. LOL...Oh, I'm sure Cody has his moments as well. That's what makes a great couple. Living in such close quarters is a challenge. That's why you two can make it happen!
The beautiful blue lake and those flowers. Just perfect! Thanks for taking us along with you.
Hi you too. 😊WOW, THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HIKES I HAVE SEEN. Like a little piece of Heaven. I was waiting for this ones. Well worth the wait. Thank you so much for sharing with us all. We were down that way last summer. Colorado is just so amazing. Their is a place inbetween Durango and Silverton, called Honeyville. They have the most delicious 🍯 honey. Try it out, i know you will love it. They have many different products. Your dinner looks so yummy 😋. God Bless you both. Enjoy all the beauty of Colorado.
Take care. ❤
If I ever saw a place like that, I would probably drop to my knees and worship God! Wow what a place! Thank you
Ice Lake Basin was the reason I moved to Durango. One of the most beautiful places om earth
Flowers like the sound of music. Appreciate the time you spend on editing! Thanks

Absolutely Beyond Words to describe the Beauty.....
Beautiful hike. We did the Ouray Perimeter Trail yesterday. It was pretty difficult for 2 68 year old ladies. It was awesome to accomplish it and it was beautiful.
Thanks Soooo much for taking us on that amazing hike. How beautiful!!!! 🌺❣️🌺❣️
Went out exploring in Colorado once with my sister. We were seeing fish in a little river and my sister reached in and caught one with her bare hands. She’s celebrating her 80th birthday today.
Happy Birthday !
Happy birthday 🎉
That was the most pristine wilderness I have ever seen. Such a beautiful hike. Thanks for taking us with you.
Nice long hike hot shower great dinner I know two people that will sleep great 😂
Wow,The mountains and the lake is so beautiful, God does beautiful work!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Welcome to my world!! Love the high lonesome!!!
Speaking of geeking out. The shot at 8:08 is just spectacular. If you zoom in you can see all of the avalanche paths up close. I imagine people ski and snowboard all over those mountains.
I think that this is the most scenic place that you guys have taken me!
Y’all I went back and started watching the older videos when y’all where in a tent they were AWESOME 👏 👏👏👏 not to say the new videos are also Awesome thanks y’all
I was so happy when I saw that you had posted a video. It made me Sunday evening!!
💫🧚♂️💫
Thank you 💕 love this trail Jo it's beautiful love 💕 you two
That's an aggressive hike!! That's a huge increase in elevation in a single day hike. Awesome hike and views!!
3:02. Brook trout. Native yo eastern US and Canadian wates. Widely successfully transplanted throughout the US because they do not require running water to spawn at other trout species do.. they reproduce in spring fed lakes and ponds without inlet or outlet.
The lake and scenery on your hike was breathtaking. Thank you so much for always taking the time to include the plants, trees, water features, and wildlife you see. Those are so special. The flowers were beautifl! Happy camping 😊.
At 17:56 The hills are alive with the sound of,,,, Pikas 😅
I don’t often comment but wow the colour of that lake Mother Nature is truly brilliant. Thank you both so much for all the pain you went through to get us there. I really do appreciate it as I’m sure all your followers. Your next cookbook could have photos through out all the amazing scenery we get to see. That lake is definitely one of them. Thank you. Cheers Lynne from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻💜💙 ps those little creatures are soooooo cute.
Colorado has such epic beauty...that hike was simply Magnificent...glad you went so I could follow!
What an absolutely stunning place!! Thank you so much for taking us here!
How beautiful! You guys are champs! Always good energy and push through even when you’re exhausted! Keep loving life!✨✨✨
What beautiful scenery thank you for sharing. Nobody up there to pollute that lake.
Love those gorgeous San Juan mountains....enjoy for all of us!!!!big hugs.
Absolutely beautiful scenery. Loved the wild flowers, water falls and that blue, blue lake. Thanks for letting me tag along.
What a majestic place! Thank y'all for showing us this beauty
great hike, great vid. I passed thru Silverton and Ouray a couple of days ago. Thought about you guys and your last vid. Just fyi….the single blue flower with the bee is gentian ( pronounced gent-shun)….pink flowers are fireweed….and they are one of the first things to grow on a recent burn area. the cluster of purple flowers are larkspur. just in case you didn’t know. The white, pink and pale yellow flowers in meadow are Indian paintbrush
Wow! Thank You for taking us along on your adventure. Blue Lake may be glacier fed. Your celebration dinner looked soooo delicious! Bon Appetit 😊
I can believe it, the San Juans (Saint Johns) are a crown jewel indeed.
Absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing from an elderly in New Mexico.
Your music choices are awesome!!! What a great production team.
We use to live in Bend Oregon before the Recession, left in 2011. Then we moved to RI. Now we are OG in the Siskiyou NF. Traveled 3100 miles cross country in our F350 & Lance truck camper.
Wow!!! You guys did a big Hike! Ice Lake was worth it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Cody, you are looking lean and mean.
I'm still enjoying my way through your old vlogs.
I remember watching you make delicious meals but there were times I wondered where the vegetables were 😄
The dinner that you cooked looked so delicious! Hope you slept well after that big day. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your experiences! My wife and I enjoy watching your videos!
I can only imagine heaven looking like that 😊 good job guys on the hike 👏
I gasped when you threw out the salmon skin! Crisp it up and it tastes great with rice plus that’s where the healthy Omega 3 is!
What a magical place!! Thanks for taking us along!
BEAUTIFUL HIKE. CAN'T WAIT!!
I am sorry that walk was ruff on you both but those views were amazing!
Wow!!! That's a beautiful hike and the blue lake was the reward. Video doesn't do justice.
When hiking. Do you ever come across any wild animals like wolves or snakes?
The salmon skin is the best part
Thanks for an awesome video
We come across snakes in the south but nothing else threatening
+I agree with the other comments beautiful. talk about loosing stuff, my wife and I were hiking this morning just 5 miles and I had a big brim hat. I got hot so I was holding it in my hand for a while, then I put it on. About ten minuets later I said where is my hat{ I thought I had it in my hand} my wife started to laugh then I remembered it is on my head. Dumb Be safe and may God Bless you
Your Mountain View’s are EPIC
Fantastically divine ✨️ I got to hike most of the Olympic mountains and the Pacific crest trail and each time no matter how difficult levels of the hike it made up for witnessing and appretiating Gods gifts of the alpine lakes and mountains ⛰️ It was as though i was in a whole different world filled with his majesty in awe! Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing this spectacular piece of Heaven and that what we call Onolicious Salmon dinner 😋! Aloha ❤
Such a stunning hike, I'm so grateful you shared this adventure. Wow.
That was a spectacular video of an incredible area of our country. Thank you, and congrats on a very tough hike. It was worth it (says the guy sitting in his easy chair watching the vlog). 😁🤓👍
I’m impressed you cooked dinner after that hike. I think it would have been cereal for me.
Wow. That's a gorgeous hike. And I've done my share of beautiful hikes.
Acompanhado aqui do Brasil. Quando falam inglês devagar da para entender bem. Adorei as imagens dos detalhes do passeio. Saúde e prosperidade. Até o próximo vídeo. 🇧🇷
Haha, right before Cody said, "It's like the Sound of Music up here," I said, "Where's Julie Andrews?" She should be frolicking about up there! 😂 Beautiful hike!
That was simply gorgeous! The Little creatures, the flowers, The waterfalls, That gorgeous blue like! That was amazing. And the drone footage, absolutely great!!! And Kelly's comment towards the end about folding in the stuff!! David It says just fold it in. What was that movie from?!!? I can't remember the name of it now but that was so hilarious!!! I busted a gut on that one. ✌️😎🇺🇲
Schitts Creek! Love that show
Top of the World 🌍

Thx for showing that trail! I can only imagine the lung capacity a person needs to hike that one! Great ob and ATB!
Insanely beautiful!!
You are my new heroes....👋👋
We stopped in Ouray this summer for 3 nights on our way back to Louisiana from Utah. I think the San Juan's are our favorite part of Colorado.
Wonderful video! Those mountains and landscape looked so majestic and the water gorgeous. I’d have to have a walking stick to keep me from stumbling and slipping. Kellie your salmon, rice and veggies looked so delicious. Thanks for sharing🐿️
It is a beautiful place but definitely a challenging hike!
What a beautiful view way up there! 😃
Pika’s (pee•kuh) are one of my favorite animals too!! They were also one of my son’s favorite as well. They are the cutest 💗
What a beautiful hike ❤
So bueatiful...we loved that area!!
Super video! What incredible scenery, especially about 20:12 when Kellie starts down the steep trail. Wowwee!! Safe travels.
Wow! That lake was beautiful
