I'm 95 years old & can't walk. These videos are wonderful. I can live vicariously through you boys. Stay safe and have fun out there 👍

I can relate with this comment. I’m half your age, but work and my young son keep me from going out right now in life. I watch for the same reason.

Sierra is a pure source of happiness and comfort.

Unlike most backpacking vids, I don’t have to turn the sound down on you guys - the talk and Robby’s music are always so good! Thanks, guys!👍🏼

Robby makin slapz

Yes, those are moose droppings. Oh, and the "Lost Creek Wilderness" was named for when the creek goes into the caves and into the ground and disappears for a while. I live pretty close to that area and love the trail. It's truly unique. They call the area up around Bison Peak the playground of the giants because of the huge rock and boulder formations.

sorry dude , they are elk and yes it is a beaver damn it.

Love the music on this one. Robby is killing us. Wife and I have been laughing at your comments of misery. 😂

He doesn't disappoint with his drama & whining..every video. I've never been able to figure out why he even hikes..😮..Poor Thomas..

Love the first of (hopefully) many Colorado episodes. You can tell when Robby and Thomas hike (e.g., Mount Katahdin), they push their own limit covering the distance while filming a quality video.

The Mount Katahdin episode is one of my favorites. That ridge they had to traverse... what a place!

Just wanted to let you guys know...I've been watching your videos for the past few winters while I'm exercising inside. You inspired me to do some backpacking. The past 2 Christmases I've been using Christmas money to buy backpacking gear. Finally this weekend a friend and I hiked on the Buckeye Trail at Tappan lake and camped in the woods. It was 25 degrees that night, but we were both well-equipped and survived. We had a great time! Thanks for the inspiration gentlemen!

Thank you so much for your comment! Sounds like the trip was fun despite the cold. Here's to many more backpacking trips :)

Sierra is such a good girl.

Would be nice if she was off leash a bit more (especially on the grassy boulder field) . Dogs need that freedom, it's good for their mental health. (provided they're well trained with their recall)

Thomas never seems to tire. He’s such a strong hiker.

He dealt with the negativity really well. For being so exhausted they both stayed in pretty good spirits though. No point of complaining

This hike was AMAZING. Having Robby and Thomas pushed to their limit (and persevering) in contrast to the myriad of beauty (might be my favorite too) that Robby emphasized throughout was gratifying. I commend the both of you. The only drawback was the absense of the full crew.

Thanks for the shout out! Glad you enjoyed the hike (mostly!)

Great hike! I struggled with the lack of plant identification but made it through. Brian is the essence of man. ✌️

Can’t imagine the difficulty of hiking at that altitude. Awesome to watch from Key West!

Nice to see Thomas so enthusiastic and outgoing-love it!

Wow! Just Wow! Congratulations Robby, Thomas and good job Sierra keeping the hoomans in your care moving along. The video really captures the awe and challenge of this adventure- great videography, great editing and this soundtrack is going to be on my replay list for the foreseeable future !

I love when Sierra goes along. It's great exercise for and she loves the journey too!

Seriously, just watching you guys hang out at one really amazing place for the whole vacation would be really cool. And all 4 of you!

Congratulations gentlemen. Job well done. And Miss Sierra. Coming from the California northern Sierras. I understand your struggle and pain. You did an outstanding job. And videography was fantastic. 20 years ago when I was hiking, I always wanted to film my hikes. Who knew?? Now I’m 67/68, don’t know if I can go that far in one day now. I can still do 8. But I don’t get out as much as I’d like to because I work part time now. This is my first time watching you, and I’m so glad I came across your video. I look forward to more adventures and I will share with my hiking buddy. And when He was done, He said, “ It was good.”

Great hike guys. Missed you not drinking enough water to help you keep hydrated! Your dog seemed to enjoy the hike too😊

Amazing hike and Thomas is nice looking after Robby specially in the 2nd day. Can't wait for the next one and then the Japan trip. Yey!

I'm out camping in the wilderness beside a stream in my camper Van. And so I watched this episode again for the second time. It is really a great episode, and those rocks, I think you're right, someone must have designed it because some of those places were just incredible. Thank you for paying the price to make the hike and make the video. Blessings

Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite. It doesn't have high peaks but a special beauty of its own. I mainly stayed on the Wigwam Trail as I couldn't cover the loop on just my days off. Plus my dog wouldn't swim and crossing the lakes the beavers created, so that was a problem. I loved being there again through you. Thanks for sharing this trip.

This is my favorite episode so far. I also discovered by accident that the music in this episode is an excellent cadence for a chill treadmill walk, and many of the shots feel like you're walking along with the guys.

I love the way you guys get so excited over a prime campsite, much like others getting a great home with a view!

I've always felt more at home at an impermanent campsite than in any house I've ever lived in!

It was an awesome experience getting to work with you guys start to finish! Loved the episode and love that you got a shot at redemption on the Manistee River. Everything was perfect: footage, music, homecooked meals, and memories! Cheers!

Amazing adventure. Way-to-go pushing yourselves thru the trail. I bet Sierra slept for days after this.

Pushing the limits of altitude Robby. Headaches and the shakes aren’t a joke in Colorado heights.

OH MY what a gorgeous place the beauty was everywhere!! I love it when it's Thomas and Robby and Sierra..❤ pour puppy was tired.. ❤Loved❤ every minute of this hike!! Well done guys!!!

Ouch, burn! I like the plant identifications. But you guys are awesome. Thanks

This was by far my favorite episode. They views were amazing. And you two had me laughing the whole way. I can feel your frustration at times from all those unexpected hills. Keep up the wonderful content.

The way Robbie's voice gets so deep in the AM vs PM lol. Thomas is always so loving to Sierra 🥰

This is my favorite of your videos yet. I love the way you two work together--and I think Sierra popped off that bridge on purpose too ;)

Great job you three! Not only did you crush a big couple of days, you did so with great attitudes and while capturing an amazing journey to share with us all. Thank you for doing what you do and being who you are!

Your videos are helping me get through the stress of my first weeks at university. Thanks guys

THE MUSIC!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also, Thomas is HILARIOUS!! 🤣🤣🤣

That was an amazing adventure! Adventure Archives never disappoint! I gotta say, I was worried about Robbie and altitude sickness. He should've stayed at a lower elevation for at least one night. I'm a flatlander, I live at 600 feet. Previous trips to Colorado and Wyoming made me realize how a big change in altitude affected you. It's no joke, especially if you're backpacking into a remote area.

I’ve been watching you all since 2016, and this is by far one of the best hikes! I love Sierra, too! She is a sweet little lady! The scenery was like you were walking, and the set of Bonanza. 😂 Great job! Thank you 🙏

Music is enthralling. Footage is beautiful. You guys aren't annoying. Even though I live near an area ike this, and as Thomas says- sometimes the awe isn't as great as it used to be, videos like this still make me want yo adventure in the backcountry.

I did the hike to Bison Peak like 10 years ago and it was no joke! Its just a steady incline the whole way up! The monoliths at the top were soooo cool though, their scale was deceiving, I am glad you explored them. Fun fact, this hike took so much longer than I thought it would so I missed work and got suspended lol. The experience was worth it though!

What an Amazing Place..thank you for all the hard work..in Showing Us….really missed your partners in crime..hope to see Andrew and Brian ..in the next journey…Again..thank you!!!! 💜😊

WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE…Thanks for all your hardwork, in showing us, really missed your partners in crime, Your DUO,im hoping to see Andrew and Brian, in the next journey..again.. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙🤟🏽

Amazing adventure guys, what a beautiful trail! Great job on cranking out those miles and Sierra was quite the trooper! Always a good day when AA releases a new video.

You guys have gotten SO good at creating these videos. This is my favorite one yet.

The video you've produced is absolutely brilliant! there are so many things I can only marvel at, it's truly fantastic. Keep up the great work in crafting your content! ♥️

Before I get to Kenneth Welch's situation, I will enjoy Mother Nature as much as I can: in Taiwan and Thailand. Hiking (sometimes camping) is a very natural relaxation exercise. These guys in Adventure Archives are living the life. Hiking by myself is cool - with friends is even better. Ed from Philly

I will watch it tonight. I’m so bummed I missed the live with you guys on here . Can’t wait. Thanks you guys for the video and keep them coming please.❤

That was an epic hike guys! Such an amazing landscape, those rock formations were reminiscent of Roger Dean's artwork for the progressive rock band Yes. Sierra was a trooper too! 🦮 Well done guys! The post hike meal was well earned! 👍

“We have an *opportunity* for an *exciting experience* up ahead” 😂

I felt physically exhausted every "day" watching this.

Wow, what a great hike! Enduring all those physical and mental challenges while filming an incredible video. High quality in combination with a great deal of fun.👍

What a fantastic hike! Beautifully filmed, as always. An absolute battle against fatigue. Lost Creek Wilderness is definitely on my map now!

Alright it was a lot of work on your parts but magical ! ❤ a lot of hilarious moments ! Shout out to you guys ! Cheers !

I didn’t get to hike this section. Thank you for showing it. You are inspiring me to keep hiking the PCT.

I totally clicked on this video because of the dog 😅 everything else was just a bonus. Great video!

Wilderness is wonderful! Our own mind can be our greatest challenger in life, conquer this obstacle and you will be your best ‘you’

What a great video. Always loving the adventures Robby and Thomas do together.

You've outdone yourself Robby, wow. This is my absolute new favourite episode, what a beautiful film you've made out of this trip. 11/10! I loved everything about it, the friendship between you and Thomas, the scenery, the music, Sierra being perfect - everything. Loved the credits as well, you guys are hilarious haha

Great episode guys! And as always Sierra is looking spectacular 🐕💛

Oh my😯😍this was AMAZING! It would have been so hard for me to leave those rocks and keep going. WOW! You all do such amazing work with your videos. Thank you for your hard work (and Sierra!)🌲💚

My heart goes out to you. And I know it's the altitude Makes it so difficult when you don't have the oxygen, And you are usually so energetic and so go get em, know you're struggling. But the rocks and the landscaping is phenomenal never seen anything like it. Thanks for pushing yourself through this appreciate it

That rock spire looked like Easter Island. Pushing to the limit, such a great accomplishment! Beautiful trip.

Okay 30 minutes in ! And I am like omg ! This is another super successful awesome trip ! ❤ full of surprises ! Well done guys ! Love the music also ! 😊

Adventure, fun, drama, top video quality: once again this episode has it all. Amazing and bizarre landscape, warm friendship and …. Sierra! Thanks for filming this even while you were pushing yourselves to the maximum.

My favourite Robbie-phrase from this one: "False Despair" :D

For some reason the hikes were you really have to push yourself are also more satisfying to watch for us! :D There's just something watching you guys keep going despite the struggle. Really enjoyed this episode (who am I kidding, as if there's ever one I haven't truly enjoyed) the views were incredible. Thanks for taking us to this place with you

Awesome video! Love when you take Sierra❤️Thanks for sharing!

It’s either a very well edited video (yours always are btw) or Sierra has got to be the most quiet dog I’ve ever seen! I’d love to hear her bark at least at one point! 😂 Great video as always guys. Man o man, the wonders of the USA. You sure has some amazing sceneries and landscapes there. What must not the settlers have felt venturing into that. Talk about awe,.. 😮

Another hike I am doing in the future is the Barr Trail to Pikes peak summit. I will be spending a night at Barr camp and then going to the summit and then taking the shuttle down afterwards. I have also done the incline in Manitou springs back in 2017 at age 55. That was by far the hardest hike EVER! Over 2200 ft of elevation gain in about a mile. You hit areas at the top over 68% grade! But checked off my bucket list! Did that after hiking area around Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods during 2 days). We went to the incline after hiking the 2nd day there.

Adventure Archives "Without A Destination" sounds FANTASTIC!!

The Lost Creek Wilderness is a beautiful area. Hope you guys can make it to the San Juan Mountains next year.

My father and I did that hike a few years back. Beautiful area, would love to do that one again.

This episode has some of the best music yet! Particularly the music at the deep water crossing. The brass sounds so good 1:02:59

Proud of you both and Sierra, too

Great adventure and was struggling to help you make the hike. I’m exhausted! Beautiful scenery. Love Colorado.

Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite place on the whole planet. Well, that I've seen anyway as there is a whole lot of this planet I haven't seen. Your video really did it justice, at least as much as it is possible for a video to do it justice. Another great backpacking (or very long day hike) loop is to start at the Goose Creek trailhead and take Hankins Pass, Lake Park, a couple miles of the Brookside McCurdy, McCurdy Park and Goose Creek trails. The McCurdy Park Trail portion duplicates the hike in this video. It's a bit shorter than the north loop that you did, but goes through more truly spectacular terrain. It can be done in either direction. The clockwise direction I outlined puts the biggest climb at the start. The Lake Park trail is mostly on or close to the crest of the Tarryall Range, a bit lower elevation than the stretch you did. It's (IIRC) about 23 miles total, with lots of elevation change. The low point, near the Goose Creek Trailhead is about 8,000 feet, the highest point, along the Lake Park Trail is about 11,600 feet. Spectacular rock formations are visible throughout the loop, and Harmonica Arch is visible from the Goose Creek Trail near the trailhead.

Wow ! Just Wow ! What a hike ! Thanks for sharing this with us , Colorado is one of my favourite places and even though I will most probably won’t visit and my Mobility is no good now it was nice doing the “virtual hike with you “ 😊 greetings from UK

Outstanding. Absolutely admire you folks for not only completing such a challenging hike, but also filming this much of it this well. Bravo!

Exploring those forest roads with no particular goal in mind is half of the appeal of van life!

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but I'm impressed that you guys haven't had any negative animal encounters, given how many food smells you get all over your tents.

Thomas and Sierra is always leading from the front! And Sierra is the star! Would love to see what the wonderful world looks like from Sierra's perspective during a hike, give her a cam mount! 🤩

Thanks for a fabulous video. The hiking show how beautiful of America. ❤

LOL at Sierra saying screw it at the end and just diving on in off the bridge. 😂

Oh and i love the end song🎶

Lovely video! FYI, there is a prescription medication called Diamox that you can begin taking a couple of days prior to prevent altitude sickness.

I always feel so blessed to be able to go on these hikes with you. Thomas, I don't think I have ever seen you so exhausted. Robby, you crack me up each time you proclaim a new hike as "the best ever/my favorite". I'm trying to write this while I'm watching the silly shoutouts and I keep getting distracted with giggles. It's a "beefstew downhill high!" Thank you for sharing another wonderful adventure.

😊 Great music and photography.

Amazing episode! Will definitely try this backpacking trip

Man this is definitely a bucket list hike for me!

Amazing journey, thank you for sharing!

31:14 reminds me of something out of a video game like an open world RPG

Great tag a long Adventure, Thanks guys & Sierra.

I haven't even finished watching yet but just had to stop and say that the piano tune that starts at 38:31 is so nice.

I love watching you guys. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!! Hi Sierra! 👋

Great job today Stranger! So excited for the both of you. Awesome journey ❤

This is bringing back so many memories. There was a 7 mile long alpine meadow I went through in the Loss Creek Wilderness and it was the best part of my trip.

I thoroughly enjoy watching Robby and Thomas hike together. Both seem to push one another's limits and seem to get along great. I don't sense any conflicts between them (you guys).

Very happy that you guys completed the trail. I think the same way when I'm on a difficult trail my self if it's even worth it. But in the end, heck yea it was. Great job boys. Keep on keeping on!

If you guys are looking for future trips, North to South Lake in the Seirra is one of the best. You could also do the High Sierra Trail. Or the Rae Lakes Loop. BTW, for me, ibuprofen really helps prevent those altitude headaches.

Love the gadgets. Can't wait hiking season.

Altitude is no joke if you are not from that area. You know it's bad when you don't start a fire or eat food the first night!

Robbie that was cool of you to go on a trip with your uncle and his dog
