Hope you enjoy this adventure! For those wondering what happened to Joey's UA-cam channel, he has removed it as he is working on his own website that will house his content in the future. Until then, you can find him here where he updates content regularly: www.patreon.com/user?u=29913168
i was up at tioga pass last week for a few days it was 24 Degrees at night crazy how warm it was for you 2 i know you were at a lower Elevation but that is so warm for this time of the year.
Great video as always, thanks for sharing it, did they make you pay to film there?
Thank you for the information about Joey channel. we missed seeing his videos on youtube.Thank you, Catherine, for this amazing video.
@@eduardoestefan872Same here. His was one of my "go-to" channels. Sad that it was removed without warning. I'm tapped out on subscriptions. Oh well...
Thanks. Have missed Joey's vids. I followed him first before catching on to you.
God's handiwork: like an ever changing Valentine card for us. Never gets old.
John Muir would be proud. Thank you for the best backpacking/hiking video I've seen.
Love this comment!
Thanks for watching!
Joey and Cat show! Hard to beat the collaboration effort.
Lol, Catherine is like... "we hiked barefeet uphill in the snow both ways" Joey is like ohh it was an easy day, barely broke sweat and everything. Catherine is like but we got eaten up by mosquitoes as Joey walks by in shorts and a t-shirt. The man is as adventurous as a hobbit mixed with mike myer's wayne's world character.
And OMG did you see this most epic scenery at 20:04 it was as if someone painted landscape on the actual rock wall... and then you realize it is real real. what a beautiful place to go hiking.
Oh, Catherine, we will be watching this one over and over. We are almost speechless about how wonderful and gorgeous this video is. No one does this better than you. Thank you so much for taking us on your adventures. Hugs from us in Alberta.
The redwoods are also very spectacular to see, as well as half Dome. nice views.
Just amazing and very beautiful place to hike let's just say it's Gods country.
We were just there. Stay away from the touristy valley floor
Absolute art. Pity you can't monetize this. You've made me realize that despite all my years of exploring Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra Nevada since 1991, there's still so much I've yet to feast my bionic baby blues on. May Almighty God continue to Bless, Guard, Guide, and Protect you in your adventures. 73

How come it can't be monetized?
@@danielkaranja7978 Commercial filming of any kind on NPS parks requires an individual Commercial Filming Permit for that park. Very expensive and difficult to get. If you're receiving any financial or material reward at all from your production, NPS considers it commercial. And, NPS monitors UA-cam and receives tips for violations. Several UA-camrs have gotten hit with serious fines for this.
Amazing video, waterfalls galore !! Beautiful hike !!
But that Bear scared me to death … be careful 🥺
Yosemite is not crowded, if you avoid complaining from your car. Get out and walk 5 minutes on a lesser known trail and the magic happens.
That’s if you can find a parking spot.
I totally agree! I tell people this all the time! Just walk a mile from the trailhead and, with the exception of the Mist Trail, you practically have the place to yourself. That and avoid weekends if you can. But even on those crowded Valley days, I remind myself to just look up and smile.
1st time visitors to Yosemite grabs 1st Ranger they see -- breathlessly blurts out "we only have 1 day to see the park - what should we do ?" Ranger -- " cry " 😅 !!!
Best video yet. Can't wait to see you pass a million viewers.
I need to get back out to Yosemite. Amazing place. Incredible views, Catherine!
All I can say is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! Epic views. I have never seen such gorgeous views . Thanks for taking this old man along. You and Joey make a great team. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
Once again such an amazing trip !
You're so lucky to have such a great friend in Joey as your guide on this Venture Catherine. 🙂
Thank you for that Catherine. I needed it....
Grant lakeis the first lake of ten lakes you see. I packed from yosemite falls to ten lakes in 1997 with friend Jessie!! Awesome !!
Beautiful cat😘
Thanks so much Vinnie! ❤️❤️
I love your videos with Joey. ❤
Wow! Just wow. There's really is nothing more to say. Thank you for sharing this with us!
That was overwhelming on film. I can’t imagine seeing it in real life! Thanks.
Thank you for going to Yosemite, this is the park of my youth growing up in Northern California my family and I always went here every summer. The memories I have of Yosemite I cherish so much. I haven't been there in at least 20 years. I miss it so much.
Your video has motivated me to get back to Yosemite sooner. Catherine you are awesome
Oh lordy, you just did what my hubby and I fondly refer to as "The Hell Hike"... Only we came from the opposite direction, from Tuolumne Meadows to White Wolf, in three days, hiking up that 4500-foot climb on the last day, literally begging a ranger we saw in a truck to drive us that last mile. That he didn't dump me after that is a miracle.
Hard to describe this video without sounding like a broken record. As I've said many times before... epic, gorgeous, beautiful, etc. I've also said it before, but this might be the best video you've ever produced Cat! You just keep raising the bar! I sometimes wonder what runs through someone's mind as they hike for miles and miles on a trip like this with nothing but the wind in their ears. Do they think about the meaning of life? I imagine some pretty deep thoughts as one hikes through this gorgeous landscape.
You definitely do a lot of thinking Mark. I will be in the Ridgecrest area this late fall/winter. We can finally grab that cup o' Joe. lol
You could not have said it better, "Thank you, Yosemite!"
We'll be watching this evening! Love your backpacking videos! 💞
WOW!!!! This was one of the most beautiful videos i have seen, of hiking in Yosemite. You and joey were on top of the clouds. The waterfall, walking on the granite surface. It was Spectacular, it was breathtakingly beautiful. You can see how Great God's creation is, at its best. Love watching you and Joey take on this journey together. I will watch this one again. God bless you both and be safe ad you continue to travel. ❤
Catherine the video was so well worth waiting for. The magnificent peaks, views and canyon walls were beautiful. My favorite part was the scenic waterfalls and throughout the video I could hear the sounds of rushing water...AWESOME!
All I can ever say when I watch your videos Catherine is, “Wow!!!” Phenomenal!
Love you both as much as those mountains! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲💫🎖🎖
Once again you have done an amazing video! Both my husband and myself sat and watched with awe!Thank you so much for sharing!
I just discovered this channel and I am loving it! I feel like I am there. Thank you.
Extraordinary video. I have done the upper part from Water Wheel Falls back out to the highway.
Your viewers may be interested in knowing that 80° at high altitude is much hotter than at lower altitude because less atmosphere leaves more incoming ultra violet light.
Yup, it's significantly more warming.....
Thank you again.
This is one of your best videos.....
My favorite place on earth!
Mine too!
Thumbs up for Joey's hat!
Beautiful! Epic views! Thanks for sharing your wonderful yosemite adventures with us!
Wow! Absolutely stunning! Thanks for taking us along.
Epic scenery! WOW!
What an absolutely epic adventure ❤my son hiked it but the opposite direction. Back in 2018❤️thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure 🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️🙏
❤❤❤Loved this so much! I loved all those waterfalls!
Last time I was in White Wolf trail area It got cold so quick and I went to sleep with frozen hair after a quick rinse prior to dinner and then woke up to about 4" of snow. It was certainly a night requiring warmed rocks and water bottles in our bags. Sounds like a miserable time but it was the best hike ever in my life. That area is amazing!!!
Oh wow! Love your opening with that magnificent view of Yosemite high and back country.
I have spent many visits to Yosemite, camping and enjoying most of the “easy “ trails.
But these camera and video shots are so amazing.
What beautiful fall colors!
A Big thanks to you and Joey 😻
The night shot of the stars amazing.great slow-mo shot!❤
Catherine. You are truly an artist.
Thank you Catherine, the views were magnificent. Every shot was a postcard. Hope you had fun. Stay well and be safe.
Gorgeous. I'm jealous. Looks like a great trip.
Thank YOU for Filming The "Yard" I grew up in back in the 70's,,,
Probably one of your best vids Catherine! I would have swam in those waterfalls though, lol!😊
Danke fürs mitnehmen🤠
I like Joey's Colorado baseball cap. I am surprised that as crowded as California is the National Park still lets folks build a campfire in the back country. Nice.
Hi, love your videos, thank you for sharing such grand adventures. I just wanted to reach out to Joey for a second, I was sad to see that My Own Frontier was no longer available here, being a favorite and more. It was because of his channel and adventures that I, a 65yr old ex hiker took up backpacking once again and just wanted to thank him. I have walked the PCT, the Trans Catalina trail, the AZT, Sespe Wilderness, The Backbone trail ( did a "yoyo" on that one) and Desolation Wilderness in the last two years.
In a few weeks, I plan to do the Pacific Crest trail again because when I did it in 2022, could not reach the border due to fires and it is a real favorite of mine. I just wanted to thank him again and it's good to see that he's still doing what he loves. Thank you also again Ms. Gregory for your channel and I'm just catching up to all your travels. Peace and blessings from this trail worn soul to you both and keep up the great work.
Epic. Stunning. Wow. The Sierra's. Thank you so much for bringing me along! Photography just pops out there.
Thanks Catherine n Joey, what an awesome trip, the photography was spectacular!
Another beautiful hike! I always go full screen when watching your videos. The color saturation is mesmerizing. Nature is always very interesting. Thanks for letting us tag along. 😎
So BEAUTIFUL!!! Safe travels Cat and Joey.
THANK YOU CAT FOR YOU TIME& TALENTS😊
Thank you both for taking us along. Absolute beauty that I would never have a chance to see otherwise.
Thank you so very much for doing all that wonderful camping. Everything was so breathtakingly beautiful.
Catherine, your videos are so inspiring, as a former National Park Ranger this brings a lot of joy! Thank you so much😊
Looks like a great scenic hike the entire way. Thank you both for sharing such a great trip.
thank you catherine. you captured absolutely breathtaking, beautiful, epic and gorgeous views up in yosemite's grand canyon of the tuolumne. continued travel mercies and blessings.🕊
The English language is devoid of words to describe the expanse, the diversity of landscapes, and the beauty of the American West. You captured it well in this presentation Catherine. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Thanks to you and Joey for sharing this journey.
Absolutely epic, the scenery was amazing ⭐️😎🤩
As I sit here in our trailer, in the Prescott National Forest dispersed camping area, I can also view your videography of your Yosemite backpack experience. I love these mountains. Their beauty & majesty has so much to offer! I've never been to Yosemite, so thank you for sharing by both you & Joey. Take Care
The photography is so beautiful. I felt like I was right there.
That was awesome....so many great views.
Thank you so much for sharing 👍
The epicness of your trips never cease to amaze me.
Beautifully done...epic hike in Yosemite...terrific video...Joey is a mountain man...
I love Yosemite, absolutely spiritual. I get overwhelmed with the beauty. I'm so jealous. Wish I was there. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful scenery, really amazing.
So incredibly beautiful! I remember your epic trip into the Grand Canyon! Your inner mountain mama certainly continues to shine! Thank you for sharing this adventure! - lori lee
Thank you so much Lori!
Epic campsites with no crowds. Primo. The bear didn't even raid your camp!
Yours is the only show that I click like before I watch it and put it on full screen at the start. I always know that it will be very good. I liked the night time lapse also. I am glad that you showed the country because I will never get there but I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you
What an amazing place, thank you. I started my hiking season today in Florida, low 70s, and plenty of sunshine! A little wet and muddy but now we are in the dry season and things will soon be a lot drier.
... Can never put enough "WOWS !!" on the page ... So breathtaking ... Thank You Catherine and Joey for sharing this spectacular trek .... Stay Safe ....
This week's adventure has become one of my favorite Catherine Gregory's Adventures! Everywhere you look is so photogenic! The images of you and Joey hiking through a boulder-strewn trail with tall Ponderosa and Jeffrey Pines, the rock-strewn rivers and waterfalls, wildflowers, and Tuolumne canyon vistas were absolutely breathtaking! It was especially beautiful because I just had cataract surgery yesterday and can see with more clarity, color, and brightness now. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful adventure.
That is a beautiful canyon. I think that I like the scenery better than the other Grand Canyon. Beautiful.
"...it's just been incredible..." says it all! Thank you!
Sometimes, no words are needed, Ay :-) Just lovely! Thank you for all of your hard work in filming this! And the calming music that you add to the scenery. There is so much to see! You may have to go back again next year. Hihi. What a precious friendship you and Joey have. You work so well together. Take care :-)
I hiked up to the half dome while I was in my 20s and I always wanted to hike the backcountry. So beautiful. I can see why John Muir fell in love with Yosemite.
Yosemite has always been a magical place to me. my first visit was almost 50 years ago.
No, thank you 🙏 for the wonderful back country trip in Yosemite. Just stunning. I am now a fan of your channel.
One of my favorite videos! Hiked half dome with my college roommate 40 years ago and it was just beautiful. We didn't hike into the beauty you did! Thanks
What an amazingly beautiful backpacking adventure. I love the Sierra's so much. Thank you for sharing this, so gorgeous.
A beautiful trip hiking in such a great area… Awesome photos and views, love your work….
Another awesome video Catherine, absolutely love all the waterfalls would’ve love to take a dip in some of the pools you and Joey are quite the team🤠
What's not to like about this backpacking adventure! Beautiful scenery as always wonderfully filmed and edited by you. Thanks for sharing!
I've patiently waited for this adventure and am watching it now. Only on day 2 and the scenery has been absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of the vid. I always forget to say this so I'm saying it while still watching. In addition to the stunning views you take us to, I want to compliment you on the safe way you hike - with your sticks and taking your time. I see far too many people trying to show their prowess on trails that come out hurt. So in addition to the beauty you are teaching safe practices for managing the different trails you hike. As always, Cat, thank you for taking us along. Safe travels and adventures.
Amen! It's the rare trip I've made out west without my having to make a radio call for getting assistance for someone who's run into trouble in the backcountry. What always scares me is... What if I had changed my mind that morning and done something else that day?
Super Cool, I was in Yosemite about a month back... cheer's Catherine 🙏🏻
Looks like a great hike in such a beautiful area.
Thank you Cat & Joey for the Yosemite trip to an epic wonderland. 😊 Crystal clear waterfalls, beautiful greenery all around to highlight the many boulders & mountains. ⛰️ I am not a hiker but with views like these I would be glad to spend time in the canyon & high country. Thanks for a great episode. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻❤️
So breathtaking that I can almost smell the fresh air! Thank you to you and Joey for sharing this video. This is on my bucket list!
Amazing trip! Awesome views!
I never realized Yosemite had a Grand Canyon. Thank you for sharing that. I’ve wanted to hike the ten lakes basin and also up to Glen aulin from tuolumne meadows. Now I have more to look forward to. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure
Great to see Joey again! A splendid collaboration and I imagine less back tracking to get a camera on trail. Much gratitude for sharing!
Thanks again for taking us on a gorgeous hike some of us only dream of!! God bless you and Joey!! 😊
I'm a fan and its especially nice to see Joey again. I feel like you are right in my living room. The sights are beautiful...keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Steve!
More than 40 years ago, Japan was introduced to backpacking in Yosemite National Park. At that time, it was a dream place for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to visit here, but I was lucky enough to go fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park and go backpacking in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. I would like to visit again if I have a chance, even though I am now in my Korean Era. Thank you very much for always providing such wonderful videos. ｦThis video of yours is encouraging for me🥰🤚!! ️
OH my! Me and my hubby did this hike a few years ago, would absolutely do it again. Amazing!
Awesome thank you so much for sharing everything that you do as usual this is so beautiful I have a question for you what MRIs do you eat and where do you
❤🎉
