Oh Dixie you are so lucky you didn’t get hit by lightning! Hair standing on end from static electricity is never a good sign! ⚡️

@JJones-gr6hz 6 лет назад

Wow! I’m amazed that you can simultaneously convince me a through hike is a good idea and a bad one at the same time.

@HomemadeWanderlust 6 лет назад

J. Jones Haha, it really is!

@19biglou 6 лет назад

This is the best episode you guys have ever done, including the stuff on the AT and PCT... When you edit all the CDT episodes down after you finish you should really try to enter it in the Banff Mountain Film Festival... You guys did great with the AT and PCT, but this time around is something special... I can't wait to see what the Wind River Range and Glacier NP have in store for y'all...

@What_If_We_Tried 6 лет назад

Agree 1000%

@LibertyLeslie 6 лет назад

I loved the Columbines and so near to Columbine.

@samtoshner8002 6 лет назад

Yeah gotta agree - so far her series has been entertaining but this one went above into something truly spectacular

@tahoemike5828 6 лет назад

Dixie, this is your most spectacular episode ever. The amazing terrain you crossed (gulp, that knife ridge at 14k!) from the high places to bush whacking, the weather (literally hair raising!), the variety of wildlife (I mean who ever looked DOWN at a mountain goat?); just wow. Even more amazing is how beautifully you photographed it! The drone shots on top of the world were breathtaking. You have outdone your badass self, big time. They give out Emmy's for film work like that.

@Mtnsunshine 6 лет назад

Ok....now I am totally stressed out watching you two go over the mountain with so much static electricity in the air, even though I know it has a happy ending. Seeing the stress on your face, Dixie, shows just how much you knew it was not the best place to be at that moment. Criminy, but that is a tough trail!

@Psychodix 6 лет назад

Watching this over morning coffee in The Netherlands (like, the flattest country in the world). I really loved seeing those impressive mountains! Great start to my morning, so you're definitely doing a wonderful thing for people who are not - or won't ever be? - on the trail. Thanks, Dixie, and happy trails!

@caitlinV3 6 лет назад

My mouth is still agape from you not running when your hair was full of static. I would have gone full panic. Glad you all are ok!

@MrWinger1951 6 лет назад

Bull moose, far more dangerous on the trail than black bear, your adventures continue to amaze, excellent videography and narration through out.

@listofromantics 6 лет назад

Y'all are very lucky. "Signs of imminent lightning: hair standing up, cracking/static sounds from the air, skin tingling, light metal objects (cams, biners, ice axe) or your rope vibrating." Climbing has an excellent article from 2014: "Learn This: Laws of Lightning"

@alexriddles492 6 лет назад

Nero Wolfe Is that article online somewhere, or do we have to hunt down a hard copy?

@listofromantics 6 лет назад

It is an article from the outdoor magazine "Climbing" that is available online to read. www.climbing.com/skills/learn-this-laws-of-lightning/

@pamelamiller3480 6 лет назад

Back in the ‘70s when I did parts of this trail all I had what a topo map and compass.

@OldPackMule 6 лет назад

Holy Cow! The knife edge trail, the static crackling, and the changing weather the bull moose (I hear the heavy breathing from adrenaline). You guys are brave, lucky and blessed. I’m both jealous and terrified for you. Most amazing trail video I’ve ever seen. Most amazing photography.

@Mtnsunshine 6 лет назад

Ah! Aaron! You know the perfect moment to bring in the music. Hearing the emotion in Dixie's voice as she came up to the top and took in that incredible view along with the music you gently added, gave me goosebumps. Those and a great big smile on my face. :-) Absolutely fantastic! Wish I had a big screen to project your work onto. It deserves something much bigger than a mere monitor.

@Pack.Leader 6 лет назад

Amen, Karen. IMAX.

@Nonameagain80 6 лет назад

Lol, Imax 😁 that would b great!

@crustyhailey 6 лет назад

@geripfromnyc27 6 лет назад

@rev2kev 6 лет назад

Ridin' the Storm Out. I watch a lot of hiker videos and this is the best one I've ever seen. You captured everything so well. Outstanding!

@furtrapper11 6 лет назад

You had me on the edge of my seat... glad you guys were safe. I love Colorado!

@lrose711 6 лет назад

The photography just keeps getting even more amazing! And so do the challenges you're dealing with. Both are equally impressive...Keep on going you guys, you're doing AMAZING!

@davehoover8853 6 лет назад

It enhances all of our journeys, thank you for sharing. This is one of my favorite episodes!

@packet40 6 лет назад

Been waiting all day for this one, and it is so well worth the wait!!! That positive streamer that had your hair standing on end was scary as all get out just to watch, much less be in the middle of. Hopefully no more of those. Love the mountain goats and the Grays Peak summit was absolutely stunning, physically for you, exciting as hell for this arm chair (for the time being) hiker!!! Another great video for sure!!!! Well done, the drone footage is incredible as well - big props to Aaron for taking the extra time to put this together!

@claramullen 6 лет назад

And THANK YOU so very much for all the enjoyment and beautiful things you do for us on your hike Dixie

@strickysbackpackingadventures 6 лет назад

You are AWESOME! It seems like a lifetime ago I stated following you on your first day of the AT but I am so thankful you share your adventures. I can’t say thank you enough. God bless.

@kcoxgrosso 5 лет назад

I've been catching up on your CDT videos the past couple days and I just have to say Thank You! Your energy is so refreshing.

@BeeGeeHikes 6 лет назад

So beautiful, thank you for taking us along the way. I also love taking pictures of nature during my trail runs. ❤️

@tudyk21 5 лет назад

This is my favorite episode of yours, so far. I found your channel probably two weeks ago, and have watched probably 12 to 14 of your videos. I'm glad I found this one early on.

@johnhopkinson6504 6 лет назад

You are amazing. I was so looking forward to this part of your journey. Couldn’t wait. Exceeded every hope and expectation.

@k6lsn 6 лет назад

Epic! I dont even know what to say except Thanks, because your exactly right about doing this for folks that may not be able to see it otherwise. You must have the strongest ankles in the world! Oh, and that shot of the stars...wow...Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho :) yep, since the AT :)

@davidearnest2701 6 лет назад

Hi john from Dave, W4gsm, yes she is a master at so many things. 73s

@TDSudduth 6 лет назад

@Pack.Leader 6 лет назад

LOL! I know what you mean. But this one was truly amazing.

@ghostbarb 6 лет назад

You've done made me speechless with this video, Miss Dixie. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, you come up with an even better video.

@karmaclanton5544 6 лет назад

Stunning absolutely stunning!!! So love your videos. 😀👍❤

@stalkmoe 6 лет назад

Whew a 14ner, takes your breath away gorgeous Jess! Thx for bringin’ us along❤️

@bigcitycommute 6 лет назад

This episode was just gorgeous - I agree with others, this could be part of a documentary. Beautiful scenery and wildlife! Thank you for sharing your journey!

@pamelajoy67 4 года назад

Perfect! I live in Colorado, and you have captured it so beautifully. Even though I get to see and experience some of this, in real life, I am so happy to follow along and see what you are seeing, learning and growing, along with you guys. Thanks for documenting this, for all of us!

@ayurgal 6 лет назад

I just did my first 14er last Saturday. I know exactly how you feel at the top. This was with my Boy Scout troop on the High Sierra Trail. It thundered and rained six of eight days on the trip. At the top of Mt Whitney, the boys were so awed that they forgot all the pain and discomfort of the trip that they started planning next summer's trip. Thank you very much for putting out these videos. The quality has gotten more amazing each and every time. Keep hiking and keep smiling.

@carolmoore2471 6 лет назад

By far, the best episode yet. Thank you for the beautiful photography and narration. It lets those of us who can’t be there, experience some of the beauty with our eyes

@robertbotta6536 4 года назад

Just plain spectacular. Dixie you have outdone even yourself. Thank you so much.

@OttawaOldFart 6 лет назад

That ridge was awesome and as for your photography and cinematography I can attest having watched all of your thru hikes that this is you and is what you do regardless of us and we are ever grateful that you have decided to share it with us.

@coughingowloutdoors8579 6 лет назад

Wow! WoW! WOW! I want to know what kind of good luck charm you have with you Dixie. Despite the harrowing weather circumstances ya'll made it safely. I have to admit I was worried when your hair started standing up. The scenery you are sharing with us is awe inspiring in itself, but your encounters with the wildlife are spectacular. Loved the drone footage and the time lapse night sky. There is just so much packed into this video! Each one keeps getting better and better. It makes me wonder what we are in for as you travel northward. We as subscribers are truly blessed that you and Aaron are sharing your adventure with us all. I think I speak for all when I say, thank you thank you thank you! You received many rewards for you toils in this one....but you sure didn't deserve all of those blowdowns. Be safe, enjoy every moment and bless you!

@thebejeweledwitch 6 лет назад

Dixie, you just keep on making my day! I had to wait to watch this one so I could actually pay attention to it, and I'm so glad I did! It was utterly breathtaking! As always, I love your commentary and seeing new places through your eyes. I can't wait until you get to Glacier National Park because that's one of my favorite places on the planet. I feel like it changed my soul. I'm sure you're feeling that every day that you're hiking. Praying for you, Aaron and Perk. Happy trails!

@shandaevett8392 6 лет назад

Wow! This video is my favorite thus far. The cinematography is as good as any professional nature documentary I've seen. The two of you are amazing! You explained it so well Dixie. Please take all the time you need to get show motion shots and document the wildlife. It adds so much for all of us who can't be there to see if for ourselves.

@michaelsmith7027 6 лет назад

I'm blown away by the incredible scenery, the awesome wildlife, and power of nature! Awesome video. Ya'll are doing amazing work!

@candycorn0100 6 лет назад

Grays was my first 14er! Beautiful hike. Awesome to see it filmed so well. Keep on keepin on!

@Mtnsunshine 6 лет назад

Love, love, ❤️ love the close-ups! And the stove was beyond cool! Have never seen anything like that! .......sigh.......I love Wednesdays. Thanks, Dixie and Aaron!

@BruceLockland 6 лет назад

What a treat Jess!!! 🙏🏻💜 38 minutes of epic trail awesomeness!! Can’t thank you enough!! So appreciate your efforts! Both of you xx

@pwoodpaw 6 лет назад

Totally awesome video! Amazing scenery, animal encounters, and storms. I showed this video to my 3 grandsons ages 7, 9, and 11 and explained about the static and the danger of lightning. We also had a good talk about hypothermia and what you was doing that avoided that problem. I have had 2 back surgeries and cannot do what you are doing but sharing your experiences with us is the next best thing. Thank you!!!

@ffstopP 6 лет назад

You are some tough in spirit, yet so tender in heart for the little creatures who cross your path. Thanks for taking me along.

@8Throtl1 6 лет назад

Loved this! You made me tear (cry). You made me laugh. You made me worry. Your mom and family watching this, have to be ecstatic! Can’t wait for you to get to MY state... Montana!

@Pack.Leader 6 лет назад

WOW. I have to watch this again right now. A couple of times when you stopped to film (and talk to) one of the small critters, I couldn't see what you were filming but I just love how you love all things great and small. What a video! I'm amazed by you.

@ashleyschell7421 6 лет назад

I love seeing you so inspired and expressing such love for what you do, honestly it's just so encouraging and refreshing compared to what we see in society these days. We're expected as individuals to work 9-5, go home and repeat that for the rest of our lives but you totally just shoot that idea outta the water lol. It's really opened my eyes. Also i think this might be my favorite ep by far!! The cinematography is on point! Keep up the great work!!

@nellers31 6 лет назад

How awesome! I always wondered how people could hike those ridgelines... It doesn't look like there's enough room for a walking path from pictures, but to see you actually walk it...whoa... The massiveness of those mountains is astounding. Sitting on my porch while it's raining kind of made me feel like I'm right there with you.

@richardf7087 6 лет назад

Holy cow !! Dixie you are one brave lady. I have seen you do some amazing things but climbing on the knife edge of a mountain and walking in a thunderstorm are by far the most dangerous things you have done. Thank you for taking the time to film the beautiful scenery along your way. You are truly amazing. Keep hiking and filming.

@quads4life1 6 лет назад

your best yet! I really enjoy seeing the beauty that I could never experience in person. Be safe, and thank you.

@gstanley75 6 лет назад

Thrilled that you continue to stop and are excited by your macro photography. Your images are very good and keep getting better. A couple of shots had me holding my breath for your safety: the log blow down you limboed under, ma and pa moose on your trail, and the times you were in the thunderstorm with your hair catching the static. All the survival manuals were shouting NO NO NO, and you just calmly dealt with each situation.

@marvinwhisman3333 6 лет назад

I think I have watched almost all of your AT and PCT videos and without a doubt this was the best one you have done. Those ridge lines you hiked, the static electricity and the encounter with the moose really made me fear for your safety. The moose just kept getting closer. I am pretty sure I would need a change of pants after he walked off. Thanks for allowing us arm-chair watchers to share in the beauty of your experiences. Be safe.

@johnganshow5536 6 лет назад

Thanks for recording all the beautiful plants, animals and scenery. Love it!!!

@David-vi1ex 6 лет назад

Most awesome video of all your awesome videos!!! It's really unbelievably impressive! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Good luck with the rest!

@torekatemme 6 лет назад

I have discovered this passion of mine to go on a backpacking trip. I found your channel a few days ago. I binged watched your CDT journey and have been hooked since your first episode! You are such an inspiration. Thank you for documenting your journey! It’s pushing me to get into backpacking shape. I’m hoping to do a trip next summer

@frontierfan1613 6 лет назад

This episode was epic! Wow!. Proud to be a Patreon and will keep using the Dixie amazon link because your content is so amazing!

@greenfeetoutdoors2779 6 лет назад

@MrEMann 6 лет назад

Wow! The footage from the top of the 14er was fantastic. Keep up the hard work and be safe. You guys are an inspiration.

@andychase7693 6 лет назад

Hey Dixie, you keep on killin' it! Great video. You & Aaron keep bein' awesome, hike on!

@chandaharkins4418 5 лет назад

Colorado looks amazing! Thank you for taking us along, you badass woman!

@melindaadams6520 6 лет назад

That was amazing!!!! Beauty, danger, drama! I'm in awe of your and Aaron's perseverance. Y'all be safe out there.

@eodnavigator 6 лет назад

Wow! Truly amazing experience and video! Thanks so much for recording this!

@c3920 6 лет назад

Best episode yet! I live in the central mountains of Colorado and you are doing awesome. It is very hard to be above tree line during a storm (and really scary). Way to go, I love your positive attitude no matter what is happening.

@woodencanoes9362 6 лет назад

I could hear hear a heartbeat in your breath when you were dancing with the moose. And the thunder...awesome!

@erikao2876 6 лет назад

Awesome video!!! Those storms were crazy. Love seeing all the animals you are encountering.

@trailblazermatt 3 года назад

I agree with the others.. This is the most stunning video by far in the series. You're photography is impressive. Thanks for taking me along.

@Montana51397 6 лет назад

Love your adventure. Photography is getting better and better. Been following since PCT. Best wishes

@MarkFugel 6 лет назад

i await your videos each and every week...they just are awesome sauce and keep me going this summer through some bad moments ....THANK YOU Dixie! More than you know.

@miket8453 6 лет назад

Your videos are amazing. Keep it up. I can't imagine doing what you are doing with all the hiking and video. Thank you.

@maryb1686 6 лет назад

This is by far your most epic video to date! amazing

@jeffborne205 6 лет назад

Congrats !!! This by far the BEST ! video you have done. Amazing footage - worth carrying the drone! Awesome edit Aaron. Cheers :)

@kristensteffe690 6 лет назад

Wow, best video yet! Such amazing footage. That moose was gorgeous and got so close to you he just didn’t care! And your poles buzzing was terrifying!

@freshair5358 6 лет назад

Wow. Just wow! Excellent, beautifully captured video. Maybe the CO board of tourism should be sent this. That ridge hike and your staticy hair were super scary though. The wildlife and wildflowers! My heavens!

@AdventuresofShaneandLaura 6 лет назад

Love the drone and gimbal footage! So tough to stop and get great footage when you are exhausted from a long hard slog! That static would have freaked me the heck out! -Shane

@icejunki 6 лет назад

One of the best yet. I loved the mixed focus shots. Don't know what lense or setting you were using but it was amazing. Thanks guys and I'm glad you are making it through the rough weather / hazards safely.

@dianajohnston6032 6 лет назад

Love your videos! The shots of the moose are great. I love seeing them in the wild :) Happy hiking!

@jimdickey2589 6 лет назад

Wow, what a amazing video...again! So much in one episode, running from storms, moose and amazing views!

@chuckmckenney4491 6 лет назад

Was real fun watching this one. Reminded me a lot of my time in Colorado. Get out very early and get my butt down off the mountain by early afternoon!

@GoFurtherBug 6 лет назад

Wow, what beauty! Thank you so much, my spirit needed this..

@phebefriddle9133 6 лет назад

Colorado has been my favorite state for years. I found it amusing that I sat and watched this video while outside my window is a raging thunderstorm, LOL. I always love the videos that you and Aron produce. I am passionate about nature and all the beauty from the vast view from a mountaintop to the tiniest crawling insect. It has been a joy to watch your videos and see your improvement in making them. Stay safe out there.

@graemebrand4740 6 лет назад

Hi Dixie, This video has made my week and it makes me itch to get out into nature. All the best for the rest of the trail. Graeme

@randyhowell7067 6 лет назад

I think this is the best video you have ever done. The editing was amazing. The pictures were just incredible, and your story can’t ever be beat. You’re just the best. Be safe. I’m enjoying your journey. By the way, I attempted Gray’s Peak last weekend. Ugh

@jbmatt5354 6 лет назад

Freakin EPIC!!!! Your best video of all three trails. Thanks

@simoneferstl3901 6 лет назад

Almost 39 minutes of awesomeness and I could sit here for another half hour watching your videos Dixie 😍

@INTERVENTIONALRADIOL 6 лет назад

Thank you for another great video. You guys are awesome. Beautiful editing.

@greggray2017 6 лет назад

Some of the best stuff you've done! Wow!

@TwylaWorld 6 лет назад

OMG this has got to be one of your best yet. All I could say was WOW... WOW... WOW... every 5 minutes!! And another WOW!

@murph7141 6 лет назад

Your videos are wonderful!! I love that you include all the scenery, it looks simply beautiful

@prex345 6 лет назад

It seems as though everything comes full circle. Love your work. Enjoy.

@MikeNeri1 6 лет назад

Might be your best ever! I love hearing you say "oh man" - I think you said that quite a few times in this clip; whenever I feel that I'm in a tough spot, I hear myself saying those same exact words "oh man".

@karenanddogs6645 6 лет назад

Spectacular video Dixie and Aaron. I was held spellbound while watching. Your encounter with the mountain goats, the moose (yikes!, ) to the chipmunks, deer, marmots, butterflies and insects is remarkable. How you could find and actually hike the trail in many places is a feat! Wonder if I put out a call for trail maintenance volunteers ahead of you if that would help. Hike on you two and hope you enjoy your 2 zeros. You get extra credit just for getting there!

@JimScholfield 6 лет назад

So far, your Epic episode! I hope it feels like the trip is just getting more and more epic, even when it is hard, challenging.

@cuckoouncledave 6 лет назад

I so look forward to these videos, and am awed by the magic of your personal power.

@spartywarriors 6 лет назад

Well done Dixie and Aaron. How on earth can you top that? Wow is the common theme. I'm so impressed at how you guys capture the moments adding the subtlety of music and aerial footage. Feels like I'm right there with you. Spectacular and keep it coming. 👍

@mrdonelsonglhs 6 лет назад

Awesome shots ... Feel like I'm right there with you. Love your passion!😎😎

@thuggoe 6 лет назад

Incredible episode. Thanks Dixie and Aaron looks like cdt is the crown jewel

@gstanley75 6 лет назад

This is powerful. I love the “guide goats” 🐐 and epic music!

@junkbox7588 6 лет назад

Wow that was an awesome video you have come along way since that first Appalachian trail video keep on keeping on and be safe thanks for Sharing

@cmcer1995 5 лет назад

The more I watch your videos, the more I am thinking about doing sections of the CDT. Some areas I have not explored in Colorado yet, but it looks very beautiful and challenging. Obviously you are in great shape to truck right up these trails. Strange how these storm clouds like to meet you at the top of the passes. Nice to see you have been running into a lot of moose as well, they are really increasing in numbers here. Massive animals. Great photography and music to go with it.

@rachalcarr657 6 лет назад

Was just hiking Mt. Elbert in June, and this video brings me back there. I love Colorado so much! I am following you to help learn about through-hiking and gradually amassing appropriate gear so my husband and I can give it our first go on perhaps a 3-4 day trip for our first one. I have not been anywhere on the AT, but have been to several areas on the PCT and CDT, and I feel it is really helpful to observe how different the terrain and challenges are, especially after having experienced different terrain and weather on two of the trio and remembering some of what it felt like because it will help me pack the right clothing and gear for the section. Who knows -maybe I will someday get to do one of them in its entirety too? Colorado mountain storms are no joke - hail hurts, the rainstorms are torrential, and the lightning threat is very real. Thanks so much for sharing!

@japhethsjourney3930 6 лет назад

Hey, just wanted to say that you’re vloggs have been an inspiration. I decided a month ago that I would attempt thru hiking the AT and I just came back from a 3 day hike like an hr ago. Greatest decision I ever made. I hiked a total of 25.6 miles in 2 1/2 days and still feel great. I also got an unexpected trail name from a couple of guys that I gave tons of trail magic to. They called me “Time Capsule” bc I’m trying to document and vlogg my experience pretty much for the future and ones that can’t be there. Also went out there to forget the past but that didn’t happen. Something much better happened. I know I rambled on but I’m still feeling the trail lol. Thank you so much for the Vloggs.
