You totally could've moved that boulder at 2:05 with your football arms.
Respect for self-control, deciding to stop and turn was the right thing to do. Common sense is rare these days, and people get killed going beyond their limits for Instagram, UA-cam, and other social media posts.
Hope people heed your wise comment. As for the stone, maybe back in my playing days, but not now! lol!
Good call on turning back. I'm surprised you made it as far as you did without microspikes. What an amazing adventure!
Thank you very much!
Not worth the risk. It is always difficult to turn back after so much effort but knowing your limit and assessing the risk is so important to survival in sketchy situations. What you did walk before the mists rolled in was great. Summiting loses a lot of its pleasure in conditions like you experienced. Thanks for taking us along.
Very well articulated, my friend!
I love the bloopers! It reminds us how much work you do on these videos. It's not just on-the-fly. You're thinking far ahead of what you're going to do, say, and film.
Appreciate you recognizing that, Kristina! Kind of why I'm always exhausted physically, but also mentally at the end of the hike! lol! Take care!
Randy, You, your family and friends on this channel have been an incredible inspiration. One year ago I discovered this channel when I made plans to travel through the Blue Ridge Parkway and The Great Smokey Mountains. This "vacation" was a huge deal for me. Living in the east coast, I could only dream of seeing the great national parks out west. I never thought I would have the time and resources to travel that far. It was just a dream. Six months later I was able to make it out to the Badlands and it's surrounding areas. Now, 1 year later, I am hiking through the canyons of Zion! I don't think I would have had all these great experiences without your amazing videos on America's Parks. Thank you!
Those were really encouraging words! Blessed to hear you have found the channel inspiring and informational! Enjoy Zion... one of the best!
Great choice! Teaching an important lesson to your son too. The mountain will be there another day.
Thanks for the wise and affirming words!
Thank you Randy and Shane. I thoroughly enjoy all your beautiful videos, bloopers and all. I'm so glad you mentioned about "Risk vs Reward". Safety should always be the number one priority. God Bless you both. .. Robin 🙂
Hey Robin, much appreciated! Hope you are having a great week, brother!
I love the bloopers and the mysterious music as the fog rolls in. Such a creative video, so enjoyable to watch!
Thanks! Glad so many folks are finding this video useful.
First of all, so beautiful. Adding this to the long list of local places to visit
That was a fantastic quote, Jymn!
Randy, I'm surprised, as this is the first time I've ever seen any bloopers from you. I thought you always do it perfectly first time. I'm sooo disillusioned! LOL
All of those switchbacks remind me of my Grand Canyon expeditions.
haha! :) Regarding the switchbacks, yes, the Grand Canyon might be the only comparison I'm aware of!
Great video and message. I just got back from visiting Crater Lake and Mt Rainier. The PNW is such a magnificent place.
Great to hear, Luke! Sounds like you had an epic trip!
Production is getting GREAT!
Keep it up!!
Really appreciate that, Andrew!
Snow season (winter)🥶 was really extended for you and Shane with this Washington/PNW trip. The wildflower meadows are spectacular! I hope your sincere, expert advice is heeded by young and/or inexperienced hikers…applicable to all trails and excursions. Thanks so must for another beautiful video. You are appreciated my friend!
Beautiful and wise words, James! Hope you are having a fantastic week!
Very cinematic, awesome place too. I did intentionally slide down some steep snow, last season, gained too much speed, started bouncing and tore my biceps tension out of my forearm. . . It didn’t really slow me down much but a survey was required. . . 😕 I always carry an ultra light ice axe for early season conditions since then. Randy, come see tomorrow’s video, really special route in RMNP.
I went under contract a couple days ago to buy a little horse property in Grand Junction! Always a place for you if you want to stop by on your way to the desert or San Juans! Maybe do a tour in Monument again, heard about some great hikes! No more cat infested highway campsites necessary, lol!
Hey buddy, always nice to hear from you! Glad your adventures are going well and you are staying "relatively" healthy. :) Wow, appreciate the offer to stop by at your new place. Will totally keep that in mind. Find it funny how well this recent video of mine in doing - almost didn't upload it because the footage/time there was so limited. We did some great glissading at Rainier and St. Helens. Cat infested campsites... lol!
Hey, just stopped by your channel... 964 subs!!!! The first 1K is always the hardest. Great to see your vids doing so well!
Randy, Well, you and Shane had quite the ascent on those switchback’s (that little mountain goat of yours does not seem to mind). I have never been to this hike, but looks like the trail is meant for later in the year. We did have more snowfall than normal here this year. Sorry about that boulder blocking the road! Loved the BLOOPERS! Excellent video and great job with the wildflowers and filming the fog. Excellent advice in knowing when to turn back! Still gave you an idea of the North Cascades without the vistas. THANKS TO YOU AND SHANE FOR TAKING US ON THIS HIKE, . . . Mike
Hey Mike, thanks for the kind words! Keep thinking back as to how beautiful that area was!
This came on my feed this morning so pumped to watch had to work all day so i couldnt watch. Im home now ready come on lets go. Thank you for all the effort and time you put in i love your vlogs 👍.
Really encouraged by your kind heart and words!
THANKYOU for bringing me along!!
Wise to turn back.
Appreciate the kind and affirming words!
That fog ! What a hike. Washington has so much lush beauty. It's incredible how long the snow stays on the mountains also. Glad you turned back. Sliding off the cliff wouldn't be on my priority list either. Good work out with the 25 switchbacks!
Thanks... was a little disappointed we couldn't finish, but thought I use the experience as a "dad safety video." :)
@@AmericasParks it was still a good hike!
I echo everyone who applaud the Risk vs. Reward comments!!
Good words, Pete!
Such a good decision to turn back during that hike. That fog was making me nervous as well as the icey trail.
25 switch backs! That's more than Walters Wiggles on the Angels Landing trail in Zion!
I really enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Thanks Alice! Crazy switchbacks... it was basically the whole trail!
definitely better safe than sorry especially when the view is fogged in/ still a great hike and fun bloopers too thanks for sharing
Thanks, my friend! Hope you guys are doing well!
So true! Sometimes the reward is not worth the risk.
Right on! Thanks for the affirming comment!
I loved the flower shots.
Right on... so amazing!
Smart decision to turn around and even more important a great example to all who watch your channel. Live to hike another day.
Good words! Happy to know you agree with our decision.
Wow, now those are some switch backs! Smart choice cutting it short! The weather and trail conditions can have a major impact, as clearly seen here.
Crazy trail... almost entirely switchbacks!
Even though you didn't get to make it to the lake that trail was beautiful! Shane did a good job on this trip. Good message about risk versus reward. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Nick!
I loved all the little wildflowers on the trail. Glad you guys played it safe!
No other way! :)
Hey Randy I'm so glad you got to finally do this hike! I totally agree with you that it's one of my top 10 favorites that I've ever done myself. I remember when I put out my video about 3 years ago you were telling me how impressed by this hike you were and you wanted to do it. Well I'm glad that day did come finally and you were definitely still impressed by it in person. Thanks for helping me relieve it as well. God-bless Randy.
That's great to hear, Eric! Thanks for the encouraging comment!
I would recommend Kings mountain-Elk Mountain loop in the Tillamook National Forest in Oregon. I would make sure to hike Kings Mountain first, as Elk Mountain's elevation gain is similar to that of the last stretch of Mount Saint Helens (1.5 miles, 2k elevation gain), if not worse. The views are spectacular. The total loop is 10.8 miles, 3800 feet elevation gain. If you would like to do that, then I think hiking to the top of Multnomah Falls in the gorge would be a fun idea, and you can bring the crew up too. Beautiful views of the falls and gorge.
Really appreciate the suggestion! Have barely visited beautiful Oregon. Just added your recommendation to the "list"!
Smart choice. Awesome photography
.
Thanks much, Dixie!
Thank you for sharing, this was pretty cool 😎
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
🤗HUGS🤗
Thank you very much and God bless you as well!
I just started watching your videos. Man they are great 👍
Really encouraged to hear that, Dennis! Thanks much!
Gr8 info MrRandy. I read a story yesterday about hikers at MtShasta that miscalculated their circumstances and paid the price 😵💫.
So sad, you really need to respect the outdoors. Just not worth risking it with your life.
Amazing views, loved this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for the comment!
As always another awesome video! The Northwest has much adventure to offer... have you been to The Enchantments?
ua-cam.com/video/-sBnepbX1rY/v-deo.html Wanted you guys to check out this video
Thanks, Grant! No, I haven't and had to look that one up... wow!! ... just added it to the "list." Appreciate the recommendation.
The bloopers had me. Pretty much how it goes as a UA-camr. I have a big issues with names. I butcher it all. 😅
Switchbacks off the start. Ouch. Washington in July is a no with all the snow. Mid August is my best bet. Hopefully.
Glad I'm not the only one! Can't telly you how many times I was absolutely sure I was pronouncing something correct... until I was (as always) corrected in the comments. lol!
👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching, Andrew!
Totally a good call! You need to know when to turn back and not risk the lives of of you party.
Definitely not worth it. It was a beautiful hike up so I’m sure u didn’t miss anything
Appreciate those words!
If you have time to fish the lake below, we'll worth it when accessible
Appreciate the tip! Would really like a do-over on this one!
guess what bro there's a nother rock blocking the road in 2023
Oh no... sorry to hear that! Really enjoyed being at this place. Trust you did as well!
