What Hiking 115 Miles Looks Like | 2022 Wrapped! 

Star Peak Lookout looked amazing. Love that crunch crunch of snow.

Hey Danny.. I just found you recently while educating myself on the Enchantments. I'm 52yrs old & my wife & I hiked 156 miles in 2022. The places you go & videos you post are an inspiration. We always photo our hikes & you have convinced us to now video them for a new way of storing memories. Look forward to following you in 2023.

Oh, we are SOOO very glad you posted a video tonight!!! We know you are dealing with several issues on the homestead and figured a Danny S. EoY video was out of the question!!! Your video was part of our New Year's celebration!!! Thank you so much for posting!!! We are so grateful to you for all your hard work, dedication, time, and the financial resources it takes to bring all your subs such unbelievable content every year!!! To increase your viewership by 100% in less than 12 months is nothing short of amazing and you should take a moment (after clearing your roof of course 😊) to reflect on that accomplishment!!! Boy oh boy, asking us which adventure from 2022 is the best is a VERY tough call!!! They were all spectacular. They truly were!!! But since you asked, and mind you, we had to watch the video twice because the choice was difficult, here are our thoughts on each adventure. Our votes are below. 1. Star Peak Lookout: Unbelievably beautiful adventure!!! I am sure you started doing this in previous videos, but this is when we first started noticing the "walk-by" shots. Love the views from the lookout point, especially from the chair drinking coffee!!! You crushed it!!! And who can forget scoring the pack of cheese!!! 😊 Also, your outro was stunning. That MAY be the first time we said to ourselves, WHO spends that much time on an outro??? Most people would lead with that!!! If YT gave an award for the last 10 secs of a video, you would win that award hands down!!! 2. Evans Landing: Another great hike!!! We love Lake Pend Oreille. This adventure will be a bigger challenge for us because of the elevation, but WOW, insanely beautiful!!! Of course, Lolly stole the show on this one! We remember her walking on the fallen tree and running into the water. We cracked up because it seemed like that was her first time trying to swim. She loved the water, until she didn't 😊. What a great adventure!!! 3. Sawtooth Grand Thru-Hike: Talk about crushing it!!! We always enjoy adventures with Bob and Josh!!! The Sawtooth's are BREATHTAKING!!! It was like getting punched in the face with beauty!!! That series of videos had more jaw dropping and breathtaking views than I can list. My Mom loved that shot at the 2:29 mark!!! The mountain as a backstop with the turquoise blue lake surrounded by mountains with snow covered peaks!!! Holy Moly!!! 4. Enchantments + Little Annopurna: That was a great co-lab video in a BEAUTIFUL area!!! The scenery there was amazing!!! Loved the water falling off the giant boulders!!! The sunset was amazing and the shot of you sitting on the edge of the mountain cliff was INSANE!!! If I recall correctly, that was the trek your phone took a header and you had to take a pretty hairy descent down to recover it!!! That shot at the 3:49 mark was idyllic. All that being said, I think the Billy goats were the quiet stars of that video!! 😊😊😊 5. Blossom/Pear/Revett Lakes Loop: OMG, just Heaven on earth!!! I cannot believe there are that many mountain lakes in such a confined area!!! If I recall correctly, there was a bit of a disturbance and Lolly was ready to jump into action. We both loved this video. 6. Cirque Peak: Banff Nation Park, CA. I mentioned I first fell in love with this park after playing a video game!!! Just insane beauty!!!! We were also glad to see Tessa back on the trails!!! Loved the ascension shot at the 5:23 mark!! My Mom said the shot at the 5:27 mark looked like you were on top of the world and she said it looked like it was from Google Earth. 😊 I could not agree more!!! I thought the money shot was at the 5:30 mark, when you were overlooking that majestic beauty. 7. Honorable Mention: Pewee Falls. We loved this video!!! It was so beautiful AND Lolly was having a blast!!! Our Votes: Favorite: We both loved all the videos, no doubt!!! If we had to pick, and it was a tough choice, my Mom picked #3, the Sawtooth Grand Thru-Hike and I picked #5, the Danny Blossom/Pear/Revett Lakes custom loop. Where to go to next: Copper Creek Falls, Bonners Ferry. Big and Huge thank you to you for all the INSANELY great content you provide!!! Cannot wait to see what adventures 2023 will bring us!!! Thank you so much!!! Happy New Year!!!

Great video. Stunning and amazing views. Love it

You are Epic. Wow. Keep it up. Insane stuff.

Hi Danny- the Enchantments for sure and got to meet you! Happy trails in 2023

It was a great year. This year will be even better! I'd have to say the Sawtooth Grand Thru-Hike was my favorite. The scenery was stunning.✌

Dome nice places visited in 2022, may there be many more in 2023 🎉

Stellar compilation Danny! Those were definitely some of the most absolutely GORGEOUS 115 miles you could ever ask for! Here's to more for ya in 2023 👍 It's been a true pleasure following along brother! As far as hikes: It would be awesome to get together this year and hit a trail with ya man! I'm thinking Hyndman Peak. Absolutely pure epicness! Plus I know how much you like baggin' those peaks man! Let me know if you're up for it 👍 It's very difficult to choose a favorite hike/trip from this past year. If forced though, I'd have to go with the White Clouds into/through Chamberlain Basin... now that was a trip to remember! Hope 2023 is off to a great start for ya by the way brother!

Not just miles, but EPIC miles! Best compilation yet. Your hikes are great but your filming is fantastic! Granite Lake in the Selkirks? I can't remember if you did that yet. Or Leigh Lake, or Upper and Lower Geiger? All nice that you could do in a weekend. Nothing like the Enchantments or Bannf but beautiful and worth seeing. Thanks for all you do.

Brilliant upload my friend, these shots and overall quality are phenomenal here! Fantastic cinematography and winter atmosphere🔥🔥

Beautiful edit, amazing scenery… love your dog🐾

Love it! Beautiful footage!!

We are from Minnesota but found some fantastic hikes in Canada! Egypt Lakes Back Country hike in Banff National Park is phenomenal! Mount Assiniboine (the “Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies”)Provincial Park backcountry hike in British Columbia is a gem, too!

New to backpacking but managed to make 5 trips including my first solo! Favorite trip was hiking the Selway River trail #4 (twice). I find inspiration in your videos and very much look forward to what 2023 brings! Keep em coming!

Fantastic collection! 115 miles 💪🫶

It's always nice to reminisce previous hikes. I've hiked to Colchuck so I really enjoyed The Enchantments hike you did. It is one of my bucket list hikes as well. Thanks for the recap. 😀 ~Lynnette

Happy New Year to you and Tessa! My favorite hike of the year was Heart & Pearl Lakes Lollipop Loop. Thanks for your videos. Cheers!

Starting this year I’ll do the same, we won’t always be able-bodied. If you haven’t been to scotchman peak yet I’d recommend it, was one of my favorite hikes of 2022!

Amazing👍👍

This is so great I like the location Subscribed

You should backpack Mount Hood Timberline trail. Good luck in 2023, and hopefully I see you in the trail.

Hi Danny, I loved the Enchantments’s hike you did this year. I was thru hiking the Enchantments at the same time as you and I was able to meet you for the first time 😊 it was awesome to see you specially because I watched all your videos about the enchantments while I was getting prepared for the thru hike, so thank you and I wish you a wonderful year 2023! I was able to hike 237 miles on 2022 and I hope I can continue next year! Great to meet you and thanks for all the content you create for us.

Great video! Try the hike to Chetwoot Lake in the Cascade Alpine Wilderness. Maybe do the Alpine Lakes High Route. This is the real Enchantments.

I love your videos, gives my kiddo and I good ideas on where to try and head to in the future. One of our favorites is Sherman Peak Loop just outside of Kettle Falls, Wa. Not very long or tough but great views any time of the year. Keep up the great videos!!

Best mountain backpack I did this past summer was to O’Calkens Lake in Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains. Another was up Steven’s Canyon in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Southern Utah southeast of Escalante town. Try some southern Utah redrock areas.

What a great compilation. Stellar hiking! Hope you have a good’23! If you ever make it over to the Northeast, specifically the Adirondacks of New York, or in Vermont, keep me in mind if you ever need anything.

Great vid as always Danny! The Sawtooths are on the radar for sure.... hopefully with the Enchantment crew. Best hike of 2022?? Need you ask :) Congrats on the 2K! Well deserved. I'll be sportin and new knee and the Durston X-mid pro2 in 2023 so stand by the old fat man will be ready to make dust on the trail!

Recommendation, eagle cap in Oregon!

Congrats on 2K subs! I didn't get a chance to get out and hike much myself this year, but I really enjoyed watching you guys hiking the enchantments. I hope you have a great 2023 and beat your 115 miles from this year.

Great video

Great video. Yes! Watched to the end 🙂 My favorite hike is Lake Ingalls, WA. Something for you to possibly do next? possible High Hut, WA, Eagle Peak (MRNP) or Cape Disappointment while there's still a king tide.

I recommend the wonderland trail on Mt Rainier especially Indian Bar i am hoping to do the enchatments

Great hikes and stunning views. I actually didn't get much hiking done this year. My sister and brother in law bought me a mountain bike early last spring and I was having so much fun with it that my hiking boots didn't get much use. You've been on so many great hikes, I have no idea where you haven't been yet. Have you ever hiked in Canada? Someday I'd love to visit the Canadian Rockies.

Great recap video! I loved all your adventures, and cinematography! Have you hiked Torrey Lake near Polaris, MT or Seymour Lake in the Anaconda Wilderness?

Do you have more recommendations for early May hiking in Idaho? Also, you should check out Lake O'hara--the lottery is open for the Elizabeth Parker Hut! I went for wildflower season but would def recommend checking out for the larches.
