I did this hike today thanks to your video! Amazingly beautiful and a great hike! One hiker I passed was doing in barefoot!

I recall driving through the Snowy Range as a child on a family vacation trip. I remember it as the most beautiful area we ever visited. Even from a car the mountains are so near and the views are breathtaking.

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

100% - even if you aren’t able to hike, the drive alone through this area is worth it

I live in Laramie and I love watching your 14er guides. This peak has some of the best June snowboarding/skiing you can imagine. Until mid-late June you can skin across some pretty easy terrain which can cut the route down significantly. It's less than a mile from the highway to the base of medicine bow between sugar loaf. Then you can skin/boot-pack up or do one of the many steep couloirs. Such a great location for summer activities.

I was eyeing the snow lines when we were there, I can't imagine how awesome it would be to lap them.

Discovered the Snowy Range on a motorcycle trip in the 1970s, blew me away... Be sure to check out the often 'overlooked' Bighorn National Forest/Cloud Peak Wilderness Area... Great footage, thanks for posting.

@grantskidmore6921 Месяц назад

Proud of you too! 🎉 Awesome drone and return route shots!

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

Thanks man, really appreciate it!

I climbed this peak with my son on 13 Aug 97 coming up from Colorado … beautiful area👍

@timothykaye2902 Месяц назад

One of my favorite areas. The alpine setting is stunning.

@Taskerofpuppets Месяц назад

Nice man, that was a beautiful hike. Wyoming is an incredible State.

Wow we hiked this last Saturday! Absolutely beautiful. The peaks in CO were showing bad weather so we shot up to Wyo

@BroomfieldRR Месяц назад

I have been thinking about this mountain for a ham radio hiking trip. Thank you!

@gjalnisilver Месяц назад

Nature is so amazing and beautiful... this was just perfect, perfect weather, amazing scenery! Always glad to see you back in the mountains.

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

We are all very lucky to have the option to see nature in all its glory.

Oh dang. I'm from Laramie. Med bow is great. I wouldnt call it a hidden gem though as it's pretty well known.

@jamman3131 Месяц назад

❤ Way to go Mick! Much love man!

@ConnorHoak Месяц назад

Hoping to get up to Med Bow without all this smoke that’s currently in the area. Appreciate the beta as always

@Miderguy_ Месяц назад

Haha. I'm like that with the color grey. Good job out there. We are planning on moving that way once our son graduates next year.

@sherriewilson4379 Месяц назад

Just left Snowy Range last week, so beautiful. We babysat our grandkids so Mom and Dad could hike Medicine Bow Peak, they had a great time. We live in Iowa and this was our second trip to the area, a hidden gem.

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

Such a cool area!

@johnlewis6985 Месяц назад

I have a job that lets me drive the Snowy Range Road every Tuesday so I see Medicine Bow Peak every week and I've always wondered what the view from the top was like. There is a trail that goes in and around all those lakes and I've wanted to do that one for years. Very cool to see a bird's eye view to that area.

@mickeybrumfield764 Месяц назад

Beautiful area going to have to keep it in mind.

@myheroskryptonite Месяц назад

Laramie, WY native here! :) I love my mountains.

@skylermccarthy6623 Месяц назад

Beautiful. Ill be hiking this on Sunday!

@Zaliant Месяц назад

it's great to hear you're in a better mental space! keep on truckin

@brice2034 Месяц назад

Beautiful area! I'll have to check it out since I just moved nearby. Happy to see you're still climbing.

@gabrieltait2685 Месяц назад

Im proud of you too dude! Thanks for the vid

@johnbarron4713 Месяц назад

Spent two days there last November. Very nice place, but the National Forest Campgrounds (Brooklyn Lake, Island Lake, etc.) had very small sites with no privacy. At each campground, I asked myself if I would want to spend a week there. The answer was always no.

@TheZerohero1996 Месяц назад

aria deserves the snow nibbles for being such a good pup if you are asking me...

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

She gets all the bellies and nibbles she wants. Once those blue eyes look at me, its over

@SeeChadRun Месяц назад

Beautiful area! I'd love to drive up (from Colorado) and trail run more of the Medicine Bow area.

@SeeChadRun Месяц назад

@@user-yu5ct7ui5w Of course! Stick to the designated trails.

@gingergypsies201 Месяц назад

If you really want to blow your hair back, just go a little bit further north to the wind River range. We did Fremont Peak back about 4 years ago. It's legit.

@user-qv4sh6uj5n Месяц назад

Used to be a hidden gem. Now its overcrowded with Coloradans coming north who can't find a place to hike in the 14.5 million acres of National Forest that Colorado has to offer.

@TheVirtualSherpa Месяц назад

Nah you are right, public lands are actually owned by the state they exist in.
