Terrific video. Such great photography and minimal talking - only pertinent info. You have Joey Coconato's awesome style of filming your hiking adventures. (That's a complement). Thanks so much. Look forward to more. Blessings
Good video. I’ve hiked and backpacked in that area before. We’ve hiked from Clover Meadow to Reds Meadow in a day hike. Spent a few days in reds meadow then hiked back.
Nice hike thanks for the ride ! I am hoping to do much the same soon. Uh except I have a couple nice fishing poles and some heritage trout goals to get too.
You remind me of Joey from " My Own frontier"! I like the way you describe where you are and where you are going on an actual map! Great touch and I enjoy your description of the entire elevation throughout the hike! GOOD STUFF man!
51:45 Another great pic made perfect by the smoke. Do I detect the samer amount of color manipulation. The trunks pop out of the frame but their salmon colours are echoed by the mountains behind. Pure watercolour effect.
In early aug 2013, we took agnew meadow TH to ediza, and explored nydiver lks; moved camp over to minaret lk via that cecil lk traverse; exited at reds and rode the shuttle back to Agnew FTW! Iceberg lk still had some ice in it at the far end...great way to cool off! Loved how you captured that traverse section. Great video :)
1:18:26 - best pic of all so far - so many details - over on left is a cleft that has been blocked off with boulders and plastered over. Immediate right there is a doorway into another world - the grey patch with its own trees beyond. Then there are these three blockheads plummeting down on a shocked looking up in dread and astonishment. Forgot to mention all the dynamics : fractal juniper bushes spiraling out, the falling water of the twp orange blockheads and the splash in the doorway. Exhibit it: see what happens.
I just have to tell you how much I have loved your videos, the scenery on this one just blew me away! Your photography is incredible, you allow the viewer to see all the scenery and just stop to explain where you are going next which is absolutely perfect. I love the areas of granite rocks, fir trees, waterfalls and rivers, just stunning, but I loved your film of the Minurets (hope that's the right spelling). Thank you so much for your fantastic videos, I am in the UK, we have nothing like this over here, can't wait to see more from you!
I grew up camping in Mammoth and hiking out to Devils Postpile every year. So now it’s a dream to do a backpacking trip further out into that beautiful wilderness, ideally solo! Thank you for the inspiration and the beautiful video!
@@WildlandExplorer you guys rock- actually kinda emotional experience for this 70 year old who can only make about 5 miles a day (pack was almost 40 lbs though). Your (and Joey and Cat and Doc….) videography is amazing- but really appreciate descriptions, wildlife observations just as much- don’t stop talking in your clips 👍
Excellent hike, excellent video! I really like your style, reminds me of Joey C and his My Own Frontier channel. Great vibe, great info. Also, I really like your POV moving shots, such as the trail around Minaret Lake at 43:19 and your over-the-shoulder shots. They give a great sense of what it's like being on trail. Looking forward to checking out your other trips; thanks for sharing!
Thanks I appreciate that! I'm a fan of Joey's channel, hope he starts making videos again eventually. I'm looking at bringing more high sierra content this year if the fires don't force closures again. Let's pray for rain.
I was thinking the same thing, about being like Joey C's videos. And not just because of the tent stake with the map :) It's all about the actual backpacking which, for viewers who actually backpack, is very enjoyable and helpful for seeing new places and routes to do.
Nice to go there when the crowds go away. I’ve done the Minaret to Cecil to Iceberg to Ediza then up and over to 1000island and back down to Garnett and down to Red Meadows. So awesome!
Great Video. I like going out of the Clover Meadow area via FS Road Loop out of Bass Lake vicinity bar from Great Outdoors. It goes several directions but you can walk to Postpile. San Joquin River is the common denominator. And friends can camp at Clover Meadow if they do not want to trudge they can do day hikes. 4x4 is good idea. My favorite multi day area is Shepherd Pass around and out Kearsarge or reverse. You can also walk across to Kings Canyon and back about 18 miles across. Where he is, if short on time. Just go up the river to Ritter. Duck Pass is shortest Big Pass hike. Out of Mammoth 🦣 Lakes. You get Crystal/Postpile/Duck and ten lakes. Mammoth has become civilization. So good kid area. The list is: Cottonwood. Whitney. Shepherd. Kearsarge. Taboose. Big Pine/Palisades. Bishop. Mono from 395 Tom's side.....Mammoth. (Convict and June Lake). Food. The tri tip burrito in Big Pine right side going north. Mexican Restaurant in June Lake. Sandwich empire in Bishop. McDonald's in Lone Pine. Giant gas station Lee Vining. East Sierra has gotten busy. Especially Mono and Mammoth. Many do not even drive to Yosemite Valley anymore. East Sierra Nevada are 🤴 👑 KING. PERIOD. I am in WA now so run over to the Beartooth. Can't go wrong. Take your time be safe. Plan. Livehardlovehard Channel is king of SOCAL Hikeart up here in WA.
It's cool that you paced yourself and only did 3 miles the first day. However, reaching Minaret Lake in one day is totally doable for any medium experienced hiker. p.s. don't worry about Minaret Lake being overrun with campers -- there are lots of options.
My old stompin' grounds! I have a special fondness for the Ritter Range and the Minarets in particular. Sad to say they're so often shrouded in smoke from all the wildfires. Last time I was there I ended up leaving because the smoke was so bad it was hard to breathe. Glad the wind was in your favor enough to make your hike possible.We both know that no video can truly capture the majesty of that area, but you've come as close as anyone can! Thanks for another superb experience, amigo! 😎
Thank you! absolutely agree. If anything, the smoke added to the atmosphere. Will be back to the Sierra soon enough, maybe even during the short non-wildfire season.
For trips like this I usually have something in the 55-60L range. The red exos in a 58. Lately I'm almsot always using a Levity 60L which has been discontinued. Currently experimenting with a gossamer Gear Kumo 36. I can barely fit a weekend's worth in it. Thanks for the kind words!
See!!! That's why I always dig first thing at camp hahahahaha. Look at ya now, lol. You still need a good porch rock, imo 😂. That final sunset scene at the end, 😳, beautiful. Amazing job again on this one, you really captured what I have of the wilderness in my head from all of the Adams photographs I grew up with. What an epic adventure, and again, love the video!
Thanks for the video it helped a lot. We just completed this loop last week (Mid-June). Lots more snow around cecile and iceberg lakes. Lots of snowbridges between the boulders which made traversing very slow and sketchy....Iceberg lake is aptly named. Mosquitos were insane. We pretty much had the loop trail to ourselves, no other campers until Shadow lake. Weather was 70-ish in the daytime and maybe mid to high 40's at night. June was a good time to go, other than the bugs.
Haha that's an awesome story - exactly what I would expect for June. Personally I like to spend my time in the Sierra and Rockies late season to avoid those skeeters, but that always comes with the risk of fire closures. I've seen pics of the cornice that's frequently on the edge of the outlet between Cecile & Iceberg, looks sketchy. Did you need ice axe & crampons? Sounds like you had a great adventure and I'm glad this video was helpful!
@@WildlandExplorer 😁 no ice axes needed, or crampons, but we did have heavy treaded boots on and poles. The poles were very handy on the boulder traverses. On the decent into Iceberg lake we slid on our butts down the snow on the steeper parts. Though we took care not to slide all the way into the lake. The snow and Ice extended out over the shallow beach and dropped off into deeper water which was pretty scary. An axe in this location might have been warranted, but we managed. Thanks again for the video it was a great help 😊👍 and much luck in your future adventures, we'll be watching!
Awesome video! Great descriptions of what was going on. Thats one of my favorite areas in the Sierra. Can definitely get crowded but there's a lot of people in California and the further you get off trail the less the crowds are. I can attest that I don't think I've ever had my permit checked in the Sierra (in 5 years).
Oh totally, if I lived closer to the Sierra I’d be doing cross country routes left and right, but I don’t get many opportunities to get that far west from AZ. Thanks for checking out the video!
I've considered doing gear loadouts for some time and have started to script a couple times but to be honest, the process of talking about my gear bores me to death, haha. So I like to focus on just the trip videos. I might in the future, as I know people find it helpful. I don't have the best setup at home for doing indoor videos, but this might change in the near future. I use trekking poles from time to time but the reason you don't see them on my videos is that I'm using a camera tripod that doubles as a hiking staff. Thanks again for the comment!
Re: toilet paper; don't use it. Get a bidet, or pack it out. Nice vid. You walk a lot of extra to get those hiking shots. And you are one of the few people on UA-cam who pans slowly so that you don't get that dizzying look/feel. Nice use of the map to show where you're heading, too.
Thanks! I agree about the bidet but old habits die hard, lol. Yeah too many hiking videos are shaky, un-stabilized mess where you can't tell what's going on where they left out the important bits. The philosophy here is: if I'm recording this - make it as good as possible right?
Thanks! Lots to explore out there as you know! Sorry to see what's happening with the droughts though. I don't know how you all live with that level of smoke every year.
Nice to see you hiking in my neck of the woods. Thats a very popular area , and gets a lot of visitors. The temporary national park closers added to a lot more people out there during your trip. They had only opened not long before you started, but i'm sure you know that. I hope you come back to explore some more of the sierras ! Great video !!
Thank you Justin! I noticed immediately how different the Sierra is with crowds compared to the desert southwest (Grand canyon excepting of course). I hadn't even considered before your comment that a lot of the SEKI visitors probably funneled into other parts of Inyo since the NP closed right as Inyo opened back up. Will be back. I'd like to get out to SEKI eventually for a 9 Lakes Basin Loop.
It's a Cotopaxi jacket, it's sold at REI. I'll be honest it was an impulse purchase on deep discount, lol. But it's a good jacket in colder weather. A bit heavy for summer temps.
It's actually part of the Sierra High Route - I believe the section from the Minarets down to Ediza lake is part of that, which is generally more of a long-distance cross country route. There are parts of it that are more difficult than the section I hiked here. The High Sierra Trail is in a different area I believe. Easy to get the two mixed up -I am not an expert on the Sierra though and I could be wrong. Thanks for again for watching!
@@WildlandExplorer I like your route. I would only have 1 week. Not 3 weeks to do JMT. Don't really like too much exposure. Your route included some HST and also JMT and PCT looping back to where you started from. HST is point to point. Hard to manage transportation.
The exposure really isn’t that bad along iceberg lake as long as there isn’t a snowfield. That’s part of why I did that trip in Sept. That steep section frequently requires crampons / ice axe and requisite skills. I would personally not attempt if I wasn’t certain whether it was ice-free. For that, I use a paid CalTopo subscription to check weekly sentinel satellite imagery.
Nice you had a videography team with you pre-positioning and post-positioning your camera otherwise you would have walked twice as far as you needed - HAHA
find pond. scoop water @ pond. drink water @ pond. refill bottles @ pond. maybe electrolyte if hot, then more walking. Clear pp by bedtime & before hike.
i live in the Blue Ridge .... that is Mars and I have to go there
First time I'm meeting you. Simply excellent. As a retired forester, I want to thank you for the opportunity to be with you. Be always safe, please.
Terrific video. Such great photography and minimal talking - only pertinent info. You have Joey Coconato's awesome style of filming your hiking adventures. (That's a complement). Thanks so much. Look forward to more. Blessings
Total agree. Remind me of Joe Coconato videos .
respect bro
Xxl thanks for all of efforts to let me participate on that journey… you must have hiked it twice 🖖
Good video. I’ve hiked and backpacked in that area before. We’ve hiked from Clover Meadow to Reds Meadow in a day hike. Spent a few days in reds meadow then hiked back.
Dope intro
Thank you!
What's the intro song? I must have it.
Lovely place 👍
Excellent video! Your definition of crowded is very different from mine. You should see some of the hiking trails in Europe!
Livehardlovehard Channel did Alps. Beartooth cross country, you won't see anyone except Griz.
Nice hike thanks for the ride ! I am hoping to do much the same soon. Uh except I have a couple nice fishing poles and some heritage trout goals to get too.
Awesome. looking forward to the video.
You remind me of Joey from " My Own frontier"! I like the way you describe where you are and where you are going on an actual map! Great touch and I enjoy your description of the entire elevation throughout the hike! GOOD STUFF man!
Like Joey's brother 😏

Thank you. I very much appreciate your effort to share your time & experience surrounded with
such beauty!
Thank you for sharing the amazing views. Stay safe 🙏
This is just an epic video, love that wilderness and the way you do your videos. Keep up the good work👍

Ansel Adams Wilderness has been on my list for a while. Insanely beautiful scenery!
Beautiful video thanks for sharing. i will try and visit somewhere like this soon
really nice trip! I checked out your channel and I can tell I'm going to be digging into more of your content. You definitely deserve more subs!
that is one epic video, thanks for sharing this epic trip!
Thanks! It was a really enjoyable trip.
Dude, you are Ironman and your videos have made my life better ❤.
I grew up camping in Mammoth and hiking out to Devils Postpile every year. So now it’s a dream to do a backpacking trip further out into that beautiful wilderness, ideally solo! Thank you for the inspiration and the beautiful video!
Now the shuttle bus takes you quite close to Devi's Postpile. But it puts you closer to the John Muir Trail and high Sierra access.
Gorgeous views! Thanks for sharing this
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️ It just makes my day!
Awesome videography and descriptions. Best I’ve seen since Joey.
Much too kind, thank you! Don't know if you've seen, but Joey is back on YT as well.
@ yes- still loving his stuff

Just curious if you ever do gear load-out videos? Also, are you opposed to using trekking poles?
Love your videos. So entertaining…

Super awesome. Will you be making any more videos of the Sierras soon? You make top quality hiking/ backpacking videos.
I definitely want to but distance and funding are issues atm. I might (crosses fingers) move much closer to the area in a few years.
What was your entry point…. ie what trailhead permit did you have to get for this trip?
Red Cones on recreation.gov under the Inyo NF Wilderness permits.
🙌
Ever thought about doing the Tahoe rim trail?
Definitely, but it's a long way for me in AZ. Atm have some obligations that prevent much more than 9-10 days out from home.
Amazing views! do you have a gear video?
Thanks! I don't have a great home studio environment for doing gear related videos (echo! echo!). I plan to once I move in a few months.
Nice video. Im going to do the Thousand Island Lake loop in August. Entering Shadow Creek. What camera did you use?
Thanks! This was done on a Lumix G9 + Leica 12-60 f/2.8 for static shots. GoPro for walking shots.
What brand jacket is that puffy one with the blue stripes on it??
It's a Cotopaxi jacket, it's sold at REI. I'll be honest it was an impulse purchase on deep discount, lol. But it's a good jacket in colder weather. A bit heavy for summer temps.
Havasupai hike or this hike?
Just love your videos. Is the route you chose the classic/official High Sierra Trail? Looks like it is? Crosses JMT at certain intervals?
It's actually part of the Sierra High Route - I believe the section from the Minarets down to Ediza lake is part of that, which is generally more of a long-distance cross country route. There are parts of it that are more difficult than the section I hiked here. The High Sierra Trail is in a different area I believe.

Devils post-pile !
If you don't like peeps go in winter. 😅
See I live in the desert - in winter I just go to the desert; a much shorter drive, lol.
I keep thinking you're going to run back for the camera! lol
