Backpack marathon miles at altitude with major elevation climbs while filming. Edit, upload and interact with viewers on a cell phone!. Call mom and dad. Resupply. Eat, sleep and repeat. Give glory to God. So impressed.

Kelly, you’re an inspiration! I admire your physical stamina and athletic abilities. I am a 63 year old retired Marine with physical disabilities these days, but even in my hay day, I would have been hard pressed to accomplish what you have accomplished. I was an arctic instructor back in the day and was blessed to see some amazing views in the mountains, but nothing tops what you so eloquently showed in this video today. It brought tears to my eyes as well and I understand the emotions you felt in this video. It makes you feel lucky to be alive and experiencing Gods creation on earth. My girlfriend and I have been following your trip here in Jacksonville Arkansas and we look forward to your videos when you upload them. Thank you for sharing you and your friends trip with us. You are one heck of an athlete and a beautiful soul! Stay safe and God Bless you!😊

Kelly got me a little choked up with the ending.

@pamelakern2849 26 дней назад

I cry right along with Kelly as she hikes . I love Kelly!!!

@Goruckyourself68 29 дней назад

That is one of the most inspirational videos on why people hike that anyone has ever seen. Thank you for that. Holy Moly. Those flowers are, well, there really are no words. If I never hike the CDT I at least want to hike that section around this time of year. Really beautiful

@terryhikes 27 дней назад

watching Frozen about to finish the PCT in Washington, vs your views in northern CDT, I can't decide which is more beautiful. Both are insane. Kelly, your hardcore baddassery is not going unnoticed. You're an athlete, a warrior, a survivor. I love the fun and games of your hike, but also love the hard core work. Such a great mix and very engaging. Thanks for filming, collaborating, all the extra stuff we don't see in these 15 min vids. Badass, you are! oh, and the martin sighting! omg!

@toadlguy 29 дней назад

Thank you, Kelly! ❤ I have watched a number of thru hikers on the AT and PCT, but this is the first time I’ve followed someone on the CDT and I am just blown away by the beauty and the diversity. This is quite an experience, even as just a follower of your channel.

@pierrrejette9023 16 часов назад

Fireweed is the name of those flowers.thanks for sharing this adventure.

@HikingYid 29 дней назад

I love all your videos, Kelly! But this one just takes it over the top!! Your raw emotion and appreciation for where you are is palpable through the screen. Thank you for taking us on your adventures and allowing us to live vicariously through you 🫣❤❤

@andrewnicholas9079 28 дней назад

We really are blessed to go on this journey with her. Thanks for bringing us along. Stay strong!

@jimbelmont5608 29 дней назад

An amazing day! The flowers and views were spectacular. Thanks so much for bringing us along for the journey.

@Randee04 28 дней назад

Flora and fauna were AMAZING!!! The mountain views were powerful. Thank you so much for taking us along!!!

@gary8136 29 дней назад

Wow..scenery is incredible. Thank you for sharing. Walking through snow in August is unbelievable

@aertec26 27 дней назад

Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure! It's been a treat to watch your journey along the way. I'm so glad there's people like you out there who truly appreciate the beautiful landscapes this country has to offer.

@AbleHammer 29 дней назад

In Alaska we call those purple flowers FireWeed. As winter approaches each level of flower disappears until the top finally disappears and winter has arrived.

@stevenvarner9806 28 дней назад

It's pretty much called Fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) everywhere. Thanks for the ID.

@Elizabeth-pt4bv 28 дней назад

Choosing to go on the Teton trail was the best. Ot was hard on all of you, but the views and landscape were outstanding. Talk about America the Beautiful!!! Seeing all the wildlife was also fun. Then snow??? What the heck. You should all be so proud of yourselves, what memories you are making. Thank you so much for taking us along. I will only view this part of the country through these videos. God's creations are stunning, and you have been blessed to witness it all in person.

@charlesjohnson9662 27 дней назад

You and your trail mates are just awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time and expending the effort (I know it’s significant) to share videos of your trek today and your narration made it all the more special. Having backpacked at these altitudes I have an appreciation of how difficult it is to take in sufficient oxygen especially when climbing. I don’t know how those people climb places like Everest and K2 unaided with portable oxygen. You guys are both the “besties” and the “beasties”! Thanks Kelly.

@paulbugeja5425 27 дней назад

I have never through hiked the Tetons, but when I am in Yellowstone especially the Lamar Valley, I like to describe that experience in one word, awesome and a place that literally takes your breath away with it's beauty, wildlife and fishing experiences. I loved watching your reaction to the awesomeness of the Tetons!

@jeffperkins8450 28 дней назад

Kelly, I want to thank you for all your efforts to share your experiences with the world. Filming, narrating and editing your adventure. You are an amazing young lady. ❤U

@overcomeinone8371 29 дней назад

That view is a sight to behold, the Winds are just as impressive if not more, God bless your trekking.

@paulinalouise4502 28 дней назад

WOW WOW WOW all I can say is WOW ! Thank you SO much for sharing this absolutely beautiful section of trail. THIS hands down, is the most beautiful trail you have ever hiked, and you are so fortunate to be able to live out your dreams and experience this. I still think you are the best thru hiker I have ever followed, and you do such a great job of taking pains to photograph the unmatchable beauty ! .....I asked you before which is your favorite trail you have ever hiked, well, now I got my answer........The CDT beats them all !

@anneoconnor3614 29 дней назад

WOW !!!! And now I'll wipe my tears ....

@pamelalehmkuhl3590 28 дней назад

I absolutely love your videos. I get super excited when I see there is a new one. I don’t know how you are able to do it while you are hiking and then you have to edit them and you still keep consistently producing great videos, thank you so much.

@stephenmcneight5256 28 дней назад

The views from Table Mountain were so amazingly beautiful. Thanks for taking us there. 😊 Love the channel ❤️

@eugenecole1363 27 дней назад

We are all so proud of you and your daily accomplishments in such stunningly beautiful scenery! We are in Sedona, AZ enjoying the incredible scenery. Keep up the great videography!

@diamondbackking4141 28 дней назад

We kept a detailed daily journal of every day to help preserve forever the memories along with camera shots of events...😊 4 months to explore the American west & the Canadian Rocky's...was the closest I felt to God ! ❤❤

@skidmore6678 28 дней назад

You're not out of breath from hiking, your're out of breath because the views are breathtaking!

@gregharmon3797 28 дней назад

This might be the best thru-hiking video I have seen on RU-vid this episode was amazing 😊😊

@masongilligan2856 28 дней назад

Glad you are feeling a bit better Kelly. Those sheer cliffs of the Tetons look so stunning, and the colors of the wildflowers are just surreal. Ohh, and that rock scramble, what a fun time. Be sure to enjoy every moment to it's fullest. ⛰💚🍃

@dannyjamison8337 28 дней назад

This is the most beautifully scenic video you've posted! Also, I like the added music near the end.

@ralphp3057 27 дней назад

That was a great day Kelly !! Love the little critters. Still watching! 😁👍🇺🇸

@dtaylor10chuckufarle 28 дней назад

We are blessed to live in a beautiful country; thank you for showing us, Kelly.

@Bill1608 27 дней назад

Aren't you glad you took the optional route. Vistas are beautiful, but living in the Rocky's I get to see what I used to see. Thanks. Happy Trails!

@kanamichelle7404 29 дней назад

I was going to ask you if you were just going along thanking God for His beautiful creation, and yes, you were! I think the Tetons are the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen! My brother lives and works in Jackson Hole, and yes it is expensive!

@gmonteith 28 дней назад

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us along!

@JstJeff19 28 дней назад

Thanks for sharing your journey Kelly!

@scottstaats7408 27 дней назад

I climbed the Grand Teton many years ago. Probably toughest hike/climb I've ever done...but the view from the top...definitely worth it. Love your videos.

@johnsnell6315 28 дней назад

Table Rock is such a spectacular view. I’ve been there many times. Your camera, as you know, does not do it justice. The only view better than that is from the top of the Grand Teton. Good luck on your hike!

@ndan3746 28 дней назад

Kelly Kelly OMG what a day you had! Thank you for sharing this incredible day with us all! Truly inspiring! Tetons are on the bucket list but not before Yosemite this September!

@steveblindlost9424 27 дней назад

What an amazing video. I've been to the Tetons twice, but I've never seen the other side. Wow, just wow! That ridgeline hike had me holding my breath. Keep on truckin', you and your group are amazing. Beautiful places God made for us to enjoy. Stay safe and keep having fun.🙏🏼😁

@richardthorne2804 29 дней назад

This is the best video of thru-hiking i have ever seen and the scenery is absolutely beautiful and next level. I have been to the grand tetons well over 100 times and have never done this hike so thank you for sharing. I have done cascade canyon and parts of paintbrush canyon but never this part of the teton crest. You had me in tears as well!!

@PaulBauck 29 дней назад

A beautiful hike and wonderful commentary. I agree about the beauty of the Tetons. I first hiked there in August 1968 and camped in Alaska Basin in a snow storm. We didn't see Grand Teton on that hike due to the whiteout. However, on subsequent trips I found the joy you express. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the next 1000 miles.

@johndonahue4777 29 дней назад

Good story.

@user-jc8re8gr6x 29 дней назад

Beautiful! So glad your not hiking alone also. You got this! God Bless!

@cribbage 29 дней назад

When you guys start heading down at 11:33 I don't know if it's the camera view or what but that mountain in the distance looks like you could reach out and touch it. This looks like it was truly an epic day! Thanks for sharing.

@diamondbackking4141 28 дней назад

The wildflowers were breath taking. The stinging nettles were never an issue cause I always wore long pants & high top boots. Yep, its God's country out there. Just breath taking views forever! ❤🎉

@garylafreniere9194 28 дней назад

I love you Kelly. Keep on hiking. I’m seeing you through all your videos are fantastic. Thanks for sharing your friend always Gary.

@jameswilliams7420 25 дней назад

That table mountain climb looked really tough. Yall kicked butt

@diamondbackking4141 28 дней назад

We mastered map & compass those days long before GPS...PLANNING was 90 % of a successful trip hiking or mountain climbing...❤

@campingwithcruz5808 29 дней назад

Great video ❤ Amazingly Beautiful views Thank you for sharing! I’m disabled and can only walk a mile or so but if I was young and healthy I would definitely love to try this. Some of us only get to live the dream through your videos. Thank you!

@pawpawmike7372 29 дней назад

@vintagejunktofunk4616 28 дней назад

Girl you are gonna have so many stories to tell your children and friends about this amazing experience and you have all the videos to show them! How awesome!

@nickfadely6794 29 дней назад

Great day, great video, and spectacular wildflowerrs. Wouldn't recommend cuddling up with those "cute" pine martens - they are vicious, ruthless killers.

@stanhigh 28 дней назад

Some of the most beautiful videography I have ever seen. Great.

@richardross7219 28 дней назад

Good video. It is rare to see a pine marten. That one was probably a juvenile. Glad that you had such a memorable day. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

@judybonnaure2595 28 дней назад

Thanks so much Kelly for sharing this. I be never before seen such beautiful meadows full of diverse wildflowers. Looked like The most amazing painting by The Master Painter himself. I’ve been to the Tetons but not that high up in elevation. So grateful for you. You’re as rock star! Continued health and blessings. 🙏🩷😊

@rangerinthewoods 28 дней назад

Great views of the side of the Tetons most of us have never seen. When you get to the Gray's Peak area of Colorado hope you can visit Georgetown or Idaho Springs. Great towns and food.

@jimschlabachpeacefuloutdoo7327 27 дней назад

This may be your best video ever. Beautiful. Thanks.

@maureenmukhlis2934 29 дней назад

So incredibly awesome! I completely understand how you were feeling, just sitting in that valley in all, and thanking God! The feeling of freedom and adventure, and enjoying all of the beauty that God is created for us must be mind blowing! I feel so privileged that you shared this with us! Just watching it was magical, not even being there!💗💗💗

So dang jealous! I get home after work down here in this 115 degree Oklahoma heat and turn on the tv and watch your amazing life! Living through you at the moment! Looking great my friend. Stay safe and healthy, as much as possible anyways. I love how much you thank God and are not embarrassed by the love you have! You about made me cry at the end! ❤

@martinwelch5774 29 дней назад

You are such a skilled, accomplished hiker and the Tetons are such a wonder. Table Mountain is indeed a popular hike in the area.

@sandythiessen9375 28 дней назад

Amen - a spiritual moment

@jimhenderson387 28 дней назад

You are right. That has to be one of the, if not the, most beautiful hikes in the US! The Tetons are so magnificent. You is a fortunate woman.

@renoflames 29 дней назад

I am out camping in Tim Buck Tu in my Prevost and I feel Guilty sitting here in this Bus watching You and your team bust your Butts walking all day every day. I enjoy watching it, you all will probably sleep 4 days when you get home. I love what you are doing. Everyone of you deserve a Medal and a Hot Tub including a vacation anywhere to relax. All expenses paid.
