I have watched a lot of JMT videos and I'm not sure why but this felt more authentic. I felt like I was on the trail with you guys more than pretty much any other JMT video. Thanks for taking the time to record and put this together!

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

Hi all. I know this video is long. I decided to make it into one long video because that's what felt right to me. Don't forget you can watch faster. If you click into the settings icon on the video, you can change playback speed. I like to watch videos at 1.25x speed. But 1.5x is also not a bad option! Hope you enjoy this video. We had a great time on this trip.

I loved this! At 74 with 2 hip replacements I no longer backpack although I still get out for hikes and take lots of van camping trips. I live in Washington State now but grew up hiking and backpacking in the Sierras when I lived in California. My dad and brother hiked the JMT but I had children to raise and could not go but earlier trips had taken me to Thousand Island and Garnet Lakes and I did Mt. Whitney as a day hike from the other side after my children were grown. Lots of Yosemite trips and hikes and even a snowshoe trip in Winter. (I have bear stories too). Anyway thank you for these beautiful videos. Just the right amount of "story", just the right length, and awesome photography.

@@AmyRoutt I wasn't sure about filming a long hike for so many days. It was actually a little easier over so many days. You don't have to shoot as much video each day compared to a 2 or 3 day hike.

Great Video! I appreciate your adding location information throughout as it helps me place what I am seeing in the video with what I recall from my hike from Tuolumne Meadows to the exit over Kearsarge Pass a year ago in September. When I am finally able to finish the southern part of the JMT I will make a point of camping at that lake just north of Forester Pass per the recommendations from both of you. I had plans to finish that part in 2020 but the virus changed my plans; at 72, I thought I it wise to wait a while. I also found it hard to eat as much as I should and ended up losing more than a few pounds (a good thing). The one time I was actually famished was just at that Rock Monster's lair where I lounged and stuffed myself while sitting amongst the Rock Monster's half-formed brethren which were just to its left if you recall. And how brave of you to swim in that cold cold water! I longed to do that at Thousand Islands Lake and even more so at beautiful Rae Lakes but the water was just freezing cold even in September; a good long soak at the hot springs near MTR was a real treat however. It was a wonderful hike, my longest so far. I especially remember the people I encountered every day; funny with all the incredible views, it still is the people you remember most vividly. Happy Trails, I hope to meet you hiking one day!

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

Oh my gosh! Thank you for sharing your story of the trail. And thanks for watching the video!

Thank you for sharing. Planning this same trip for late July/early August this year. Seeing it NOBO (also our plan) was helpful.

Yay! I've been waiting for this! Thanks for the shout out - I'm glad you were able to use the Expedition - that thing is a beast, but so much lighter than other options. It makes a great seat too! Funny - I have the exact same view/video @33:43 - that lone tree up on the mountainside reminded me of a chicken. I'm bummed you had so much wind at Lake Helen - that had to be some of the clearest water I've ever seen in a lake. And it tasted so good too! I totally agree with you about Evolution Basin. It was the most epic of all the areas I have been to (so far). We camped near the spot you showed on your video @37:28 on the south-east side of the Evolution Lake. The pikas were plentiful in the area and made a ton of noise while we camped there. It was very cool. You and Carson did an amazing job documenting your journey - thanks for taking us along!

Thank you!!! That bear can was a game changer for us. It helped us keep our packs light, esp after Red's! It's awesome that you are able to watch this and recognize all the spots you've been/seen haha Thank you for watching! And for your support, like always!!

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

@@MaryannHazel Thank you!! I actually also enjoy long videos over separated out videos. But I know a lot of other people prefer otherwise.

Ok, I'm about 1/3 in but I just got to say thanks for doing a different type edit. It's a refreshing change. And funny thing, when I saw Amy leaning back on that tree the first thing that flashed in my mind was.....she's gonna get sap. 🤣🤣

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

I really appreciate that! Also, that sap is never coming out of my shorts and rain jacket hahaha But that's ok. I guess it's a funny memory! lol

This is an amazing vid .I’m so jealous I’m currently in a very cold grey and drizzly nottingham in the UK . The scenery you captured and the quality of your photography is breathtaking . I started watching on my phone and finished on my big TV .Again, awesome .

Thanks Amy for posting this. I am a bit sad, because I doubt I'll ever get back out there again. Loved seeing your footage of the parts that I had sectioned hiked (Rae Lakes Loop, Evolution Valley, Red's to Thousand Island Lakes). Sadly, medical issues may ground me for good now.

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

Thank you, Jim! What inspired me the most when I started making videos was to show my family (that aren't as able to go themselves) the places I was going and the sights I was seeing. I know it's not the same as being there, but it makes me happy that this video has brought up memories for you!

@Mark-zd7vd 3 года назад

I just now saw this (and subscribed to your channel😁). I agree with what many of your fans have said. I like the documentary-style videos. It is a more immersive experience and it makes me feel like I am really there. Keep it up!

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

Thank you! I seriously appreciate you taking the time to say that.

@Mark-zd7vd 3 года назад

@@AmyRoutt You’re welcome. All of my recent planned big trips were, or have been, cancelled or postponed due to COVID restrictions. You and Carson are a fun couple. I’m going to enjoy living vicariously by watching videos of your adventures while I wait out the pandemic. What has become of my life? LOL

@AmyRoutt 3 года назад

@@Mark-zd7vd Hahaha Not a bad choice though! Luckily we don't have to fly to go places we'd like to visit, but we still have been sticking more locally than we normally would be. We also have very high local avalanche danger right now, so it's been a lot of hanging around inside! But as much as we like getting out there, neither one of us mind being lazy on the couch! haha

@Mark-zd7vd 3 года назад

@@AmyRoutt I live in Texas and there are very, very few good hiking and backpacking areas within driving distance. I stumbled across this JMT video when I was seaching for RU-vid videos of places near Mount Humphreys, which is where I hope to go backpacking in August. We’ll be within a few miles of the JMT. I may take an extra day and conquer Whitney. I got a good perspective on it from your video. It’s kind of a coincidence that y’all were there the second wk in Aug and that’s when I’ll be there. You encountered more rain than I’m hoping for, but you never know in the mountains.
