- Опубліковано 20 січ 2021
- The ultimate High Sierra backpacking adventure- a link-up of the Yosemite High Route, Sierra High Route, and Southern Sierra High Route, starting north of Yosemite and ending south of Mt. Whitney for a total of 305 mostly off-trail miles over 23 days. I hope you enjoy, and maybe find some inspiration for your own adventures.

Hey there- a big thanks to everyone who has watched and enjoyed the video! One quick thing: a decent amount of people have asked me how to go about hiking this route, in terms of permits, logistics, resupply, maps, etc. Keeping in the spirit of responsible off-trail wilderness travel, I would encourage anybody interested in trying it to seek out the map sets and guidebooks for the individual routes, create your own itinerary, and then get in touch with the ranger station nearest your starting trailhead to obtain a permit. For some basic information and guidance, check out my trip report on Reddit, linked in the description.
I never even considered a trip like this, hiking over passes without trails and class 2 and class 3 climbing. I’m not adventurous and I’m much too much of a chicken to have ever attempted this kind of trip. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible adventure and experience!
Never say never :)
@@DanStenziano That is true Dan! I am really enjoying the 45 minute long trip on almost no trails across the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains from northern Yosemite to Mt Whitney! I love Bishop Pass and have actually been there several times. We always stayed at Parchers Resort and drove up to South Lake to start our hike. The view at the Pass is awe inspiring, just the countless trail less passes on your 300 mile journey.
Never forget 😂 guide books are written in sarcasm 😅
Few minutes into the video I stopped watching it on my phone and switched to the tv. Kicked back on the couch and enjoyed the whole thing. One of the best trail videos I’ve watched.
That's what I like to hear! 😀
I just did the same thing haha I said to myself this screen isn't doing the Sierras justice
@@preston93lane Check out the Hiking Norweigian's videos on the big screen. They're great too.
Exactly!
well done
Thanks Kraig, means a lot coming from you
Can we nominate this for an award? This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing
Had to watch it twice today, so good. Epic adventure, great cinematography, narration, and story. Standing applause, Dan. This is one of the best adventure films I've seen
Wow, thank you! I'm humbled and very glad to hear that!
The filmmaking, editing and narration is high quality and engaging. It takes a special skill to provide something for everyone - the armchair hiker who is living vicariously through you, the trail hiker who may be inspired by it to stretch their comfort zone and the off-trail enthusiast who can now visualize the route and use it for planning their own adventure. As a hiker/trail runner/mountaineer, I would put this documentary up there with the best content from Mediocre Amateur, Billy Yang, Ginger Runner and other outstanding YT outdoor content creators. Congratulations and thank you.
Wow, thank you. Being a fan of those channels myself, that really means a lot!
Had a moment between tasks today and did what I occasionally do: search UA-cam for Sierra High Route. I've seen all the videos, but then wait, here's a new one. Needless to say, my next task did not get done. Instead I went full screen and watched this straight through. Great work. Quiet presenting style, fantastic shots, nice coverage of the passes. First shot was awesome and it never stopped. Your crew is humorously quiet and calm; chillin' and walkin' -and hungry. I'm 65 and will probably not ever do this; none of my friends even wants to do a section of off-trail stuff, so I'm glad to see you guys in your 20s doing this for my vicarious enjoyment. So cool.
Find SOME part of this and go for it... :-)
Beautiful work, Dan! Congratulations on conquering this beast of a route.
That was lovely......thank you.
Fun fact: in the '80s my Bro and I were bushwhackin through Humphry's Basin and one morning the 6.4 MM Chalfant Valley Quake struck. The western flank of Mount Humphrys came down in a massive scree landslide. Very exiting.
Wow! That must have been incredible to watch.
Thanks guys, great video!! Here i am in my mancave most 80 years old with my hiking days just about over, but your hike took me to places ive always wanted to go to, just not to the extreme you guys took. Very professionally done, thx again!!!

Thank you for sharing this! Your excitement on top of Snow-Tongue is palpable.
Awesome! Such a beautiful route, scenery, footage, the whole video. Really great trail video, no bluff, no idle talk, loved it a lot. Thanks!
Thank you for showing me this through your eyes! Always believe in yourself because you're capable of anything you put your mind to.
Looking back at your growth from the first high route attempt I saw you video 2 years ago to this one is impressive. This was a beautifully shot and I stayed engaged throughout the entirety of the film. I'll have to continue to improve on my topo map reading skills so I can attempt high routes like these in the future.
Nice work man! Got to get back to the 'range of light'. Thanks for posting! I have spent quite a few summers up in those isolated nooks and crannies in the alpine zones above the Muir Trail and the PCT, your video brought back lots of fond memories.
