Finally had time to watch this. Your backpacking Yosemite vlogs are the best!! What a lovely experience! The views you had were gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this with us!
I loved the stream of self-reflection throughout the trip. Beginning on day two’s recognition that your choices to slow down on day one really made the trip worth it. And Cloud’s Rest views were amazing - way better than last time. You even caught a few images of Mt. Clark, or as I call it Potato Chip Mountain, which has long been my icon of really getting into the back country hiking. I loved all of the beautiful views as it reminded me of just how beautiful Yosemite.
Your stream of reflection was beautiful. I was rooting for you from the start and you pulled through just as I had knew you would! By the way, the Valley also has Peet’s Coffee in Curry Village! All that’s missing is a 7-11! (kidding!) Loving your videos! Keep on, keepin’ on! ✌🏼
@ You’re so welcome! All the employees at either Starbucks or Peet’s are employed by the concessions and not by the coffee company, for what it’s worth 🙂
I’m just about half way through the video. When I saw you were going up the Upper Yosemite Falls trail, the agony of defeat hit me. I’ve tried that trail twice. The first time included my mother who was not able to do a trail like this. The second time I learned and just took my fittest friend. We made good progress until the last big set of switchbacks, where there had been a substantial rockslide. The trail was closed and we quickly realized it was also way too dangerous to try. This, two tries and two fails! So glad you made it up and over to North Dome. If you have not done it before, you need to take the Half Dome trail and look over the edge.
Going up Yosemite falls was TOUGH! it was so hot and steep, getting to the falls was such a relief! I can totally understand why this trail isn't for everyone!
Woah it looks like a tourist postcard 😍 it takes my breath away 😇 it's awesome you enjoy your hike and you took your time but made it to sleep and have an awesome sunset🏕 and walk to a wonderful sunrise 🌄😃 It perfectly work out 😃 I hope your recover your muscles well and quickly 😊 Thanks for sharing your beautiful videos I love them😊 take care 😇
@@trailandtravel That's awesome when you try an other time and your whole experience have change for the better 😃 also thank you for sharing because those images you capture make me want to experience many hike in Yosemite 😊
@@trailandtravel What mapping tools do you use to plan and what are some recommended sources for research on a backpack destination? Customizing a route based on one’s skill/comfort level? Thanks!
This was incredible! Every time I have gone to Yosemite, it has been a mess so I had kind of wrote it off in my mind; just not meant to be. Now? Wow! It is definitely back on the list of must do places! Thanks for a great share!
A most beautiful hike and narration. :) Is there a map, that you can direct me to, that goes from Mirror Lake, Snow creek, to Sunrise and Cloud's Rest, or that what you took?
Thank you! Im going to do a logistics and planning video on this hike, ill share my alltrails map that I used so you can see the whole route that I did.
Another amazing adventure and great video!! Love the mindset!! I also revisited your Wilson Mountain vid last week, because I'm planning to do that and Rim to Rim in a couple weeks - can't wait =)!!!!
I have never had any negative or scary experiences with wildlife. For the most part they just keep to themselves. I have had times where I was really nervous but nothing ever happened!

Another great video! Please do a logistics/route planning overview of this trip ❤
I can absolutely do that! is there anything you'd like to know specifically so I can include it in the video?

It's defiantly still a mess! lol but I think if you can get into the back country its pretty magical! Thanks for watching!

My maiden name is Watkins. This is neat to see. Also, just curious are you ever nervous about any wildlife you might encounter?
I have never had any negative or scary experiences with wildlife. For the most part they just keep to themselves. I have had times where I was really nervous but nothing ever happened!
@@trailandtravel thanks for the reply. Glad no scary encounters with wildlife! I love your videos!
@@brookefurnari Thank you! Im glad to have you here!
Have you done WURL yet in Utah?
No I haven’t!
It's all about the Journey not the Destination.
yes absolutely!
