The drone footage really adds to the experience. Production quality is a drastic change from earlier videos. Love it.

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

Thanks man, have made an effort to significantly improve camera shots, quality and edits - more improvements coming very soon.

The snowfield in the upper basin ... might want to bring snowshoes based on personal experience. Going up was fine, coming down it had warmed enough that post holing was a real issue. Was glad I had them and it was entertaining watching a group of 10-12 flop, roll, across it. They were wrecked by the time they got across.

Next door is the three apostles w/ ice Mt in the center ,nice climb from waterloo creek up the shoestring glacier

@georgesheffield1580 Год назад

Good shots of them in the video footage background

@georgesheffield1580 Год назад

Great ridge between them too

Juno, a drone, a camera, hiking, instruction... looks like work lol drone footage is getting better Sherpa! ✌️

@jessicasx7xsins 3 года назад

I just discovered your channel the other day and I have been binge watching your videos. This one so far is my favorite. Thank you for being so informative! I have learned so much from you already. Also, juno is a tank and I loved her reaction to the snow! I am looking forward to hiking my first 14er here soon and these videos have inspired me to much! Sending love and a huge thank you from Oklahoma!

I really like the style of your videos these days. Good work, bro.

@mickeybrumfield764 4 года назад

Beautiful views from up there. Last time I did Huron seemed to be more of a work out than I anticipated. Great hike to do La Plata from the Winfield area.

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

I truly forgot how beautiful this hike was very, very pretty.

@junocide 4 года назад

One of my favorites!

@Fidellio13 4 года назад

These videos are SO good and you deserve so much more viewership. Thank you for making these and I enjoy them thoroughly.

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

She really is just a hiking machine. Bananas levels of energy at all times.

@lancegreco8388 3 года назад

Outstanding video quality. Very helpful! Super job Sherpa!

@meghangantt717 4 года назад

Thank you for this!! Have been planning a trip to climb Huron and was having some doubts about the class 2 portion on the ridge, but it looks like it's very manageable. I looked for a Huron video from you about a week ago and couldn't find one. So glad I checked again! Super helpful, thanks!

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

Glad it was helpful, I didn't have a video the first time I hiked this along with a handful of others so slowly working back to create those!

@georgesheffield1580 Год назад

Definitely dog friendly too.

@rlstivers1 4 года назад

Great video! Been looking for something to view the 4wd drive road in more detail. Have a stock Jeep Wrangler and it looks doable. Thanks for the content, it’s extremely helpful. 👍

@njosborne5540 Год назад

Thanks Mickey. Another great video, man. Is this the standard route / Trailhead that is between Leadville and BV?

@TheVirtualSherpa Год назад

Yes this is - I have a video on the other route as well in case you are interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K_CA4yQLGE4.html

@KrazyKrzysztof 4 года назад

im driving to colorado late July. last year I needed an ice axe. This year it seems like snow is melting faster

@tylerwestering6406 4 года назад

Beautiful hike! I've heard it has some of the best views of any fourteener! What's your opinion on that? Thanks again for the always wonderful videos! Keep up the good work bro.

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

Its funny, the first time around I had strong opinions about certain peaks but I am finding that hiking them a second or third time I see things slightly differently for some. In general, I love any very secluded 14er (down south typically) and anytime the hike has snow on the mountains as well. Huron is very pretty though as long as its not super crowded. For me, that takes away from the hike.

@railcat52 3 года назад

I am 52 years old. I have excepted a lifestyle change and started to take better care of myself (meaning I lost weight via changing my diet and exercising). I am setting goals for myself and plan to stay active for the rest of my life. I used to live in CO. I always wanted to climb Longs Peak. After watching your videos, Huron may be better for me to start. I plan to come in once a year, until I retire, to summit some mountains. Can you suggest a couple I should practice on before passing the Keyhole to Longs Peak? BTW I love watching your channel.

@TheVirtualSherpa 3 года назад

Love to hear it and good for you! Think you will find this video helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-00hAFf51AfU.html be sure to check out the blog in that video’s description as well as it adds more context. Best of luck!

@railcat52 3 года назад

Thank you very much for your help!

@ZachKornse 4 года назад

When do you do most of your 14ers? You are always the only one on the trail which is awesome! Im sick of leaving at 3 to beat the crowds. Also...whats the song with drone footage? Love your videos!

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

If I told ya, I wouldn’t have the hikes to myself anymore 😂. But seriously, most of the time lots of editing and spacing when filming.

@beyondhorizons9758 4 года назад

Great video, as always - at 5:44 you say 'came across the frozen lake' - seems a bit dangerous if one is not familiar with condition of the ice below the snow, no ?

@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад

Not really a lake, more like a big puddle

@MrJoeTheShow23 4 года назад

awesome

@73NF14Ret 3 года назад

I can’t believe you don’t have a bada_s 4wd with all the hiking you do. I love your videos, watched a ton, but maybe time for some new background tunes? 😂

@TheVirtualSherpa 3 года назад

Post videos every single week, they all have new music now.

@ryandehmer6109 Год назад

Hey Mickey, I hope you get this because I am having a hard time finding info on it. Are Huron peak and Mount Elbert similar views or way different? I am thinking of doing two 14ers on my next trip to Colorado that are class 1-2 that aren’t too similar. Appreciate an answer and love your channel!

@TheVirtualSherpa Год назад

Huron is far superior than Elbert in my opinion but both offer great views.

@melaniegarden3416 2 месяца назад

Very nice...Im a little confused tho and been looking at maps and mapping apps--Is the Lake Ann TH the same as the TH South Clear Creek (also Clear Creek South Fork TH) on the Natgeo maps. Cant find a TH labeled Lake Ann on Gaia or COTREX. Also...it looks like there is dispersed camping in that creek area, is that correct?! Thanks! (asking because will be driving / parking with a Honda CRV an curious how far in we can take that). Also I assuming there is no camping areas one on the trail, before exiting tree line?

@TheVirtualSherpa 2 месяца назад

www.thevirtualsherpa.com/huron-peak-hike-review/ - This should help with everything you need including how far you can drive to the TH.

@melaniegarden3416 2 месяца назад

@@TheVirtualSherpa perfect you've covered everything! Thanks.

@coleschlauderaff8927 3 года назад

When did you hike it? Is it always that snow covered?

@TheVirtualSherpa 3 года назад

Typically not covered in snow once July rolls around but every year is slightly different. For all of my videos, I have a hike guide linked in the description and if you scroll down to the route portion you can see the date hiked. For this one, I hiked this in late May on a relatively average snow year for us.
