Ice Lake Trail - The Colorado hike that tried to kill me! 

Hi Christi! New subscriber here I’m going to attempt the hike this weekend thank you for posting ❤

Oh my goodness Christy this video is one of your best ever! You just amaze me and I am so proud of you and just how far you have come since starting your channel. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe! from a fellow Texan!

That's absolutely amazing! A fun and exciting hiking tour experience.

Hello from the quiet and peaceful Ozarks Christi! Another video of value! Hope things are going well for you and hope your enjoying the weather. Enjoyed spending a few minutes with you and looking forward to your exciting adventures ahead. Grace be with you. Tight lines and bent poles!

That was one hail of a breathtaking welcome! I walk up to 16 miles every day (now only half that much since it’s been 105/106°F every day for the last 8 weeks), but being such a flatlander, I get nosebleeds just going over speed bumps & I ain’t going anywhere that drops within 20° of freezing. So, without your video, I would have never experienced such scenery. Thank you, glad you persevered!

Congratulations on making it to ice lakes!!! I was in the group you saw in the beginning at the first waterfall. Love your adventurous spirit!! ❤

I’m just plain jealous!❤

We tried to do this hike today. 3.5 hours in we reached the ridge but it was just too narrow and I chickened out. Did you take the left trail up or the right?

Beautiful trail. The hail and lightning was wild. Glad you made it true.

CHRISTY you are rocking it !(lol). Hoping to see you at Pineknot.

Good for you. I can do a strenuous, hike but not at that elevation. If it were 0 to 3000 I would be good to go😀 The scenery is stunning, but I would have passed out by then from Oxygen Deprivation. I had a very bad time a couple years ago while staying at Criple Creek. I had no idea I was elevation sensitive until that trip. My hat is off to you for doing the trek. I am so glad you shared not just the view, but also how afraid you were. So many You Tubers post only the good stuff. I know there are many places that I will not be able to see as I just am not willing to take certain risks anymore. I am okay with this as there are plenty of things on my list that are nice and safe for me to go to. Thanks for sharing so I can see this wonderful place as this 61-year-old is not doing this hike.

That was awe-inspiring; thanks for sharing this with us!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it’s very useful. Enjoy your adventure! I’m going there next week and I hope I can finish the trail.

You had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. What an adventure! Thanks for taking us along… glad I wasn’t actually there…😮

First of all ... What a fighter you are!! So impressed! That was one of those things you can be so proud of!! That is epic!! Only wished I could of done that, how many people can say they did that? Cannot wait to get out there and hike. This is one of your best Vids yet!! 3,000 feet up ... thats some lung burnin and huffing & puffing. Apryl & I did 2k climb last year in Black hills .... That was super hard and we round tripped about 4 miles ... WOW! Thanks for sharing!!

Great hike !! Yikes ! Lightning ⚡️ doesn’t play ! Glad you were okay! Great views! I would have trouble with the altitude. Being a Fl flatlander ! Thanks for sharing! 👍😁

What a trooper 🎉 You’re a beast!!

You should get a pair of trekking poles, it helps a lot with ascending and descending.

Go mavs!

You was having a wonderful time and holy moment from Colorado USA

Very admirable of you to push through even though you were tired, great job.

You’re a bad ass! I would’ve had a panic attack 🤣

God Bless you!

Oh, if you have an iPhone, the compass shows the elevation, also. Just discovered this a few months ago… have to have locations on, which I rarely do.

I want to do this hike this summer! Do you think my sedan would make it to the trailhead ok or do you need a four wheel drive suv?

You did it! The whole time you were saying I’m not gonna make it, I kept saying keep going you won’t regret it!

Why don't you use hiking poles? They are a game changer!

It's fantastic that you are out there, and you have such a wonderful attitude and perspective on the beauty there. Some lessons here for yourself and others watching--get better raingear. The San Juan mountains are different than a "walk in the park." Always be thinking when it is clouding up like that to find cover of some kind. Lighting kills a lot of folks. I have a lifetime of mountaineering time--climbed all those 14ers in that area and have faced the same crazy weather (we all bleed red)--good to minimize your lighting exposure when she shows up. The Colorado Mountain Club, or something similar in Texas maybe, would be a good place to go and learn how to do this more safely, and would give motivation with others to get in better shape. That said, keep it up!

Way to go!

Oh wow 😮 I admire you in a whole new level now lol 😆 Be proud of yourself you made it! I’m in my forties and I’d have died after the first 10 minutes 😝 thank you for showing us Colorado and it’s Hod given beauty 👍👏❣️

How long did it take to get to the lake ?

They need zip lines back from the top.

This woman should never have tried this without adequate conditioning and weight loss….
