It was the 24th Annual Fall Campout!
We got a tip that we should check out something near Red Lodge, Montana, and so we were here to spend 8 days in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness!
There were reports of bears feeding on elk kills and it was right in our path! Will we be able to get by?
Join us as we find out on the Granite Lake - Native Lakes Loop!
Thanks for watching!

No one narrates better than this cat!!

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Thank you! I appreciate that!

@SaraB1686 Год назад

I love the shot of the cattle being moved in the beginning. A swimming bear... yikes! I bet the rock wall behind that fire warmed the area up real well. Beautiful scenery that's for sure. A nice mix of flat open land and trees and mountains.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

That was the first time I've seen a bear swim! What really surprised me was just how fast it was moving!

@wade2361 Год назад

I remember back when I was young and didn't think of injuries (and recovered much faster if they did occur) and would hop through a boulder field like that excitement. Now that I've firmly turned the 50 corner, I get what you are putting down.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

20 miles or so from the trailhead too.... not the best place to get hurt. But yeah, my goal is to live to hike another day!

@falconmoose5435 Год назад

What an outstanding film. Congratulations on another epic video. I recognize the humping involved in many of the scenes.....Placing camera walking by....going back to retrieve camera. Thank you for your field work and editing. So enjoyable. Go Cats.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

This was a sneaky tough hike. It was mostly flat, but at 10,000 ft walking anywhere with a pack is hard work!

@stpraamp Год назад

Spectacular! The Beartooth, like the Cabinet, does not disappoint.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It did not disappoint! Cannot wait to go back and explore some more!

@PumpkinVillage Год назад

Wow. Were to start. What a great trip, beautiful country, great pack of dogs, a griz and a good crew to hang out with, This trip had it all. Big 25 next year. That will have to be a special one. Be hard to top this trip thou. Your music is so good with these videos. Pat the dogs for me and take care, Al

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It was a full pack of pups for sure! Great way to keep the bears out of camp (there were no issues)! Cannot wait to explore more of it!

@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981 Год назад

This is fantastic! I'm only half way through and running late for work so I'll have to finish later today. I just love this area. Red Lodge and the Beartooth's were my introduction to hiking/camping the Rockies back in '83. I graduated from Forestry school, sold everything I owned except my tent & sleeping bag, broke my lease with my dirt bag landlord and headed west. Spent a few days hiking and camping around Beartooth pass, went back to Red Lodge and said "yep, this is where I want to be"....Ha, the Universe stepped in and said we have other plans for you young man.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It is an amazing area! I cannot wait to explore more of this range! .. and Red Lodge... immediately upon entering the town I was thinking.. "yeah, I could live here"

@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981 Год назад

@@mountainwanderer You and me both!....I went there a few years ago, it had been 30+ years and I still felt the same way. Yes, I could STILL live here.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

My problem is that there are too many Montana towns that I saw that about!

@hyoh-wu Год назад

Damn! Your Nephew wins best burger of the year. Some beautiful scenery, good looking cuttys, and some awesome times. That's how ya make the best out of an 8 day vacation. Thanks for the adventure.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Kenny is inspiring things over here with his culinary creations!

@hyoh-wu Год назад

@@mountainwanderer I saw the tacos and Mac and cheese taco thing too.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Something that definitely tastes better in the mountains!

@pilowespo Год назад

Amazing video as always! The bear swimming across that lake was cool! You don't see that very often. Those mountains are beautiful! I need to get there someday. Thanks for sharing. Hike on!

@mountainwanderer Год назад

That was the first time I've seen a bear swimming, and that thing could move! The rolling hills in that part of the wilderness was something that I didn't expect. I can't wait to explore more of it!

@ricklarry4212 Год назад

Great journey. Nice to see your group had the time to chill and enjoy your surroundings. The stay at Granite Lake was inspiring, I love sunsets. I'm sure the dogs enjoyed your journey as well. Glad you did not have to deal with grizzlies. Stay safe and keep up the travels.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

That evening at Granite Lake was the best one of the trip! Thanks for watching!

@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981 Год назад

Thanks so much for taking me (us) along on this epic outing. You somehow manged to edit 8 days down to 45 minutes and you did a great job. Someone else mentioned the music and I want to add my thumbs up for that as well. I think I heard Flaco Jimenez on the Accordion at one time too! You have some impressive connections, sir. Can't say enough about your trip and the scenery. I"m going to watch it again tonight in front of a nice warm fire. I'm so sentimental about that area and it was great being able to see you guys going so deep into it. (Rick Flair couldn't make it??) Take care and thanks again, Tom

@mountainwanderer Год назад

I'm not sure Rick Flair leaves the Cabinets.. 😂 I've been lucky enough to play with some incredible musicians! Even more lucky to capture some of their handy work on this music. Watching the videos next to a warm fire sounds like the right way to do it!

@Olympic_TryAthlete Год назад

What an awesome trip report of an awesome trip to an awesome area. Never been there myself, but someday… Wish life wasn’t so busy right now, but hopefully next year I’ll be able to get out more. So thankful to vicariously get out watching your videos.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

I'm glad that these videos can, somewhat, fill the gap for the time being. Honestly it's one of the reasons I keep posting videos. I hope that for the people who cannot get out there anymore, or just can't get out - right now - that they can see some mountains and the beauty (and watch some of the pain) and it can bring them some joy or just be entertained for a few minutes.

@arbucklesadventures6784 Год назад

My favorite stomping grounds!

@mountainwanderer Год назад

I'm just getting acquainted with it, but I think I'm in love! Can't wait to see more of it!

@arbucklesadventures6784 Год назад

@@mountainwanderer You went at the best time of year. Grizzly sightings used to be rare on that side of the range. Not the case this year. One followed some hikers to their car at the trailhead you were at. Probably the one you saw. Unfortunately it's sibling was euthanized earlier this year.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

That is too bad about the bear that had to be euthanized. I don't think that I've ever been to a trailhead with so many warning signs for bears! Normally they are just at the trailhead sign, but there were signs on the highway!

@rkw4565 Год назад

Top notch scenery indeed!

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It was really cool, very different from the country I normally hike!

@jacqueline7118 Год назад

Wow, fantastic backpacking trip! I laughed at the end when I saw the great meal and remember those well. After the long ones we ate like we hadn't seen food in months. I just know that the waitresses and the folks sitting around us thought that we would never eat all we had ordered but we always did. haha! Man, you guys had it all, good friends, wonderful scenery and some great canine company. It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks for showing us that beautiful country and filming your wonderful journey. :) :)

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It's weird for days on trail I could barely eat anything.... nothing in my pack was appetizing, but as soon as we get off of trail, I'm eating everything..🤷‍♀️ Thanks for watching!

Definitely loved the length of the video,,,,,, Scary grizzly bear 🐻 country,,, not for me! Beautiful scenic areas 🥰

@mountainwanderer Год назад

It is definitely Griz Country!

@CDAFishboy Год назад

Me and my wife was up in that area a few years ago. Looks flat on a topo map, but there was a lot of up and down. Found three trails not on the maps. One over rise behind Native Lake, and two to Hidden Lake. I did not always know where I was. Fished everywhere and quite successful. But it kicked my wife’s ass

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Yes! We thought this would be an easier trip because looking on a map, it's fairly flat. Not the case! I really loved the amount of water everywhere and how easy it is to go cross-country.

Awesome video and trek, man! I was waiting eagerly for this episode! I could learn a thing or two from the gourmet meals that are packed a long instead of my KRAFT mac-n-cheese every night other night lol. Camp 3 looked very relaxing. Once again, awesome documentation on your guys' trek through my favorite area in the country!

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Thanks! I didn't know too much about the Beartooths, and only decided to start here because Joey started there once. I cannot wait to explore more of this country! It looks like we've just scratched the surface of this area!

@thathikingguy Год назад

What a great trip! Man I love watching the spots you backpack to. And you really captured this trip well. This one had everything

@mountainwanderer Год назад

Thanks for checking it out! It was my first time backpacking this range, and we barely scratched the surface! Can't wait too go back!

@carolguezen5829 Год назад

Does a larger group help deter the bears? I might have quit when I saw the warning. Right now I am hiking vicarious through you all. Love your adventures. Keep them coming and stay safe.

@mountainwanderer Год назад

A larger group absolutely helps! Then you throw in our dogs, and we were lucky we saw anything at all! Glad you're coming along with us!
