Over 60 and living life to the fullest: If we can do this, then you can do this! Our goal is to encourage others to get out in nature--and move. If you've always wanted to backpack, do it! We love talking about our adventures and encourage you to make your own. If you are unable for whatever reason, we hope you can enjoy coming along with us on our journeys posted on this page.
While we both have more-than-full-time jobs, we have always made time for travel. Over the years we learned that paved walkways and crowds were not for us. So, we have shifted to multiple-day backpacking trips and get out as often as we can. This channel will be primarily about hiking, backpacking, biking, outdoor activities, traveling, and being Mom and Dad to 4 and Mimi and Pops to 6.
Was yall on a time restraint to get out that night as the reason for not just camping a 3rd night? Loved the video, btw. I think it's great you took your grandson.❤
Thank you for watching! If you have any questions at all about our 2024 Colorado Trip, don't hestitate to send a comment. We love talking about our adventures! If you are not sure you can hike at your age (over 60), please be assured: If we can do this, you can do this! Next up with the Blue Lake Trail -- which was also amazing.
Great hike! I just posted my winter hike in that area to Avalon, looks so different without snow on the ground 😅! Just subbed and looking forward to more videos! 👍
Great Video ya’ll!! And in the rain right off the bat! 😂❤ i loved this loop! So Awesome you got to take your grandson. Making memories for sure. Ya’ll made this look so easy😂
Thank you! He is already wanting to go back and do the entire thing. We do find it’s easier and more enjoyable the second time when you have a feel for what you’re going to see.
He carried a huge pack with huge pans and tons of food. Shots of him without means he went ahead and sat it down and came back to check on those falling behind.
More great backpacking on the nearby 223 mile Ouachita Trail. Do it in sections out and back or use a shuttle service. Trailside shelters are nice too.
How are those working for you? I have not tried them but will at some point. Altra used to have the market cornered on the wide toe box but I sense a narrowing with time.
You guys had some great still shots in this one! I aure would have been a bit nervous being at the top with no cover with some thunder rumbling. At least it was a little ways off. Made for some cool video with the rain walls out in the desert. Loved it.
What a cool tradition for your anniversary, and that shot at 14:20 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for sharing! It’s a good reminder for me to do the peak again, it’s been too many years 🙂.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions about out backpacking adventures, please let us know in the comments. We love talking about our adventures!!
What breathtaking hikes in the White Mountains! Tuckerman Ravine, Crystal Cascades, and Hermit Lake offer such diverse beauty. 🏔🌲 #NatureLover 6:39 New Friend Here!
Sorry about that. We have a lot of pain but keep strength training going and keep getting out there. Golf is outdoors and certainly peaceful! Although we are no good at it. 😂
Sadly Rocky I'm just getting over the damage I did to my knee from November when we were at the Davis Mountains. Hiking has been my passion since a young age but my knees don't want to anymore. Lol So a little golf is about all that's going on now. So, I'll get by watching y'all 🤓
Great job you two!!!!! So typical to look like that at the top of that mountain range, foggy, windy, drisal, high winds, yup probably 70% of the time when I was doing the 48 peaks. Again well done ,excellent job, be safe and take care!!!!😊😊😊😊
That was fantastic. The scenery and waterfalls are outstanding and even being socked in by clouds lends its own type of beauty. A trip I'm sure y'all won't soon forget.
Happy new year to the both of you! I finally got around to watching all the videos of y’all’s OML adventure. I’ll be heading to BBNP with Cameron to tackle the OML next week. Looks like a beautiful area and you had pretty nice weather. We’re hitting it on a cold snap. I believe it’ll be a low of 21° on our second morning. Thanks for the trip videos and best wishes on y’all’s 2024 adventures! Keep on moving!✌️
Wow! Hope it warms up. We have not been in January so interested to see how it goes. We have done late February and it was nice. The lack of crowds should be great. Looking forward to your videos!
Excellent video, loved the encounter with the deer. & such a nice tribute to the Tx HIKEaholics! It was fantastic meeting you two & sharing the trail, look forward to the next one!
I really enjoyed this! Absolutely Amazing! It was so great to meet up with ya’ll again, i can’t wait to do this again. That morning vista view. Wow.. Priceless . That early morning crew ❤ Happy Holidays❤
