I did the Chinese Wall Loop out of Benchmark solo in July 2020. No-one was around. It was a life changing trip. Had a grizzly encounter and all. Can't wait to get back in 2025. Thank you for putting this kind of epic journey together. I hope you spent as much time looking at the scenery through your God given camera as you did through the digital one.
Breathtaking views in a beautiful area. So nice to see a bunch of buddies trekking together. Miss seeing Joey's videos - he must be taking a break. Great video. thank you.
We also attempted this trip in 2022, but in early June, and the water of the Sun River at Indian Point was too high for a safe crossing. It is tricky timing, too early and the streams are impassable, too late, and no drinking water in the high country. Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU!! My whole life(well, most of it, lmao), I’ve wondered what the views would be up there. Not disappointed one bit, and was actually blown away more than I thought I’d be. Fought fires(including the Canyon Creek fire in ‘88) in the area, never made it to the wall.
NW wanderer...appreciate your videos. Watched many to scout my options for my first trip this summer to the Washington Cascades. Ended up in Glacier Peak Wilderness (Napeequa Valley and high pass area). I live in New Hmpshire and can only get out west once a year - we've got fun stuff here in NE but nothing quite as grand. Great to see Joey, would love to someday meet you on the trail...
Great video, thanks for sharing! Local outfitters take clients on horseback to that scenic overlook on top of the Wall, hence the horse poop. Bucket list for me 🙌🏻
Looks like a great trip and awesome time was had by all! Binging your content today and really enjoying your work. Would love to get together sometime since you're in my home area now. 😀😎 Cheers!
Good times. Always nice to see Joey pop up someplace. I really dug that song playing over the end. Was it The War on Drugs? Sure felt like something of theirs.
@@NorthwestWanderer thanks for replying. I’ll be taking some friends Aug 5-12. We will be hitting haystack, but not hiking the top of the wall. Do you foresee any issues with that timeframe?
