May I also say, ditto. You are a class act. Keep on.

I just dunked that like button into a jar of Nutella, sprinkled it with bacon bits and drenched it in olive oil while wrapping it in a tortilla. Boom! Absolutely loved it, Golden! Can’t wait until we get the chance to hike again. Regards, Rock Solid!

Loved watching you fish rock!!!

having "sectioned" quite a bit of the PCT, Ya did very good with conveying Your Journey without alot of "fluff" Wonderful "music choices" the way You carry Yourself, have alot of faith in the Younger generation. And it seems I missed X'n paths with Ya by jus' days, was in the Cascades early August ... yep, still quite a bit of snow, but still Beautiful. Happy, successful Journey's to You.

Wonderful video. I especially appreciated your soft voice and gentle music. ❤

Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing your life and memories. 🌞

Don't know how I haven't seen this gem of a video. It's great seeing it done backwards it's making me, looking forward to my own hike Well done

THAT WAS AN OUTSTANDING, AWESOME, AND AMAZING FILM! YES, I'M SHOUTING. I enjoyed it. You seemed to capture the highlights just perfectly. Thanks for putting that together for us.

Wow amazing story. You did with such ease. Wow. Congratulations and thank you for taking us a long.

So fun to see the southern journey for once, thank you for sharing your experience. Not having to deal with the Sierra snow or the extreme desert heat is a real plus!

Great little video, thanks for sharing, and congratulations on your complishment of the pct!!

Inspiring, so well put together. Congratulations

This was absolutely wonderful in so many ways. Nice to see a southern PCT hike for a change. The story, the scenery, the music was all done to perfection. The young lady was so chill about such a great adventure, challenge and everything that came with it. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you will do another hike like AT or CDT “backwards” and share it with us. Thank you again

I really appreciated your approach to this video. not just that you went SOBO but that you also touched on some of the more "unsavory" portions of the hike!

Thank you for sharing your journey! 17:00 min was iconic btw 😂

That was awesome. I live in bend and occasionally pick up PCTers coming through. I picked up one dude from Canada going SOBO last year and hiked a bit with him near Elk lake. Hikers are moving pretty quick by the time they get to bend. He was just chuggin along at his own pace it was pretty cool. Hope he made it all the way to Mexico haha

Great video. Well done. I did the tour de mont blanc the wrong way round. It was the best choice I ever made. Hoping to do the PCT when I retire. Thanks for keeping my dream alive.

Thanks you for sharing your story with us. I am impressed with your inner peace and calmness. From the very beginning you accepted all that came to you with grace. Sharing in divine love sister.

I'm going to recommend this video to everyone!

Love it! 👋 from Sweden. 🤩

Hello A beautiful video. A wonderful way to live your youth, bringing good memories and experiences that you can never forget and that very few will be able to understand if they have not taken this great trip. Congratulations Cheers 👍

Hi friend! Happy to share a bit of your journey with you! -hazelbasilhikes

You're a very impressive young lady. Very much enjoyed your narrative and positive attitude throughout such a challenging undertaking. Followed quite a few northbounders, so it was nice to see it from a different perspective.

Dear Golden, Thank you for the brilliant, delicious, unique and heart lifting film. Absolutely edited to perfection! Peace!

Oh my gosh this was wonderful! Thank you for sharing this! The music was perfect, didnt detract from the scenery or your narrative. Well done! I also love that you did this “backwards”. Happy New Year everyone! 🥾🥾💙🐾🐾

Very nice! I really enjoyed the photography and your candid story telling.

Congratz on your epic journey Ashley and thanks for sharing it with us. Going SOBO on the PCT seems so different than the early NOBOs, still having snow for large stretches from the Sierra's and all the way into OR. Where as u get snow in the desert.

I watch this video right before before I leave for a long hike. Here I am again, watching it prior to my next long hike next week, just to hype myself up. Thanks for making one of my favorite hiking videos that I keep going back to again and again like a little kid watching their favorite Disney movie on VHS until it eventually breaks and the parents have to go out and buy a new one.

That was super cool! And I watch a lot of these and do a good deal of backpacking. Be proud in more ways than one!!

Good job 👍 thanks for sharing 😊

Congrats & thanks so much for sharing the SOBO experience!

Excellent video and adventure! I super enjoyed your trip. It was a beautiful experience for me. Thank you.

I thru hiked the PCT in 21 and 22 and was always impressed with the SOBO hikers

Great video thanks for sharing. What an accomplishment!!

Just beautiful. Love the pace and editing and music. Great experience from start to finish. All the NOBOs show the Sierras as snowy and icy messes. Looks like a high desert from your vantage point.

Thank you for showing a great SOBO hike! Wonderful video and music throughout, you are are Rockstar!

Congratulations! Nicely done. Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Congrats on a wonderful adventure.

Congrats!! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Beautifull video, I went nobo this year. Cool to see a sobo video, you did a great job! All the best, 02 🤟

Just wonderful. A unique perspective (SOBO) of a PCT thru-hike. Great videography, well-composed, unique soundtrack, and an interesting protagonist combine for an entertaining story. And doing it all in 126 days... you crushed it. Thanks for sharing your hike, Golden.

Loved this, makes me want to hike it even more!!

You did it. Wow. Now that’s an adventure.

Best PCT video I've seen so far, thank you! Very inspirational for me too, as I plan and dream of doing it. I fancy the North to South option 🙂 Your video is not dragged out, with pointless filling - it's just right.

Beautiful SOBO video thank you for sharing 🥰

Really lovely to see the reverse perspective, thank you!

Thanks for the great video!! Short and beautiful. No little flags on the southern terminus, they are never there, I wonder why...

My favorite through-hike video of the last 6 years.

What an incredible adventure this was. I love the surroundings and just how you feel emerging into the world of nature where things can stop you, but you have got to push and find a way. Thank you for bringing this up and creating an amazing video for us. Take care :)

Fantastic video Golden! Great vibe! Congrats!!

A wonderful video and you are such a charming host. You take the trail so well and seem totally at home. I hiked nobo class of ‘21 and great to be reminded of those amazing views and also to appreciate the sobo perspective

Great video. Laughed out loud at your extra spicey water from cache 32 water on the Hat Creek rim.

Congratulations nice thru hike I would have loved to see the entire journey.

Most excellent!

Wow. Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

AMAZING!!!

Congrats!!!!! Loved the video!!!!!

just happened to stumble on your great video. How come we didn‘t meet once? I touched the northern terminus on July 15th 2022, and the southern terminus on november 28. we were always within a few days of each other! SOBO rocks!

Loved it seeetie. Thank you so much. Beautiful images, loved the music. Glad you made ot safe.

I've watched this video three times now and have to say that it is my favorite PCT video. The story is compelling. The video composition is excellent as is the music. It relatable because it is about your journey that you are sharing with us the viewer. Other videos spend focus too much on the cool people they hang out with and are sharing the experience with. It is hard to relate to that because I feel like I am just an observer of their good times, not a part of it. Your humility is endearing and ultimately makes the story work. Thank you for your efforts to create such a good story to share with the rest of us.

Thank you trail princess! 👣👣👣💜

Magnificent mountains, a lovely place for fishing😍

Wow! Excellent video!! So nice to see a SOBO perspective. Well done 👏. It was fun to see a familiar face (Rock Solid). I'm following his journey on IG and watched him on KZread in 2020. Congrats on your achievement! 🌻💛

Stunning visuals, appropriate music and especially the laid-back mood: Thank you for taking us along on this wonderful journey. Vour video is a very good advertisement for walking SOBO. I know that this is not the whole truth, but you did it with such ease that it seems like a sunday walk in the park 🙃😊. Very cool! For comparison I highly recommend to watch "The long way home" from Titouan Le Roux. With an epic strech over San Jacinto and trough the Sierra. He walked NOBO without skipping sections in 2023, the year with the highest snowpack ever.

Great video!! I haven't seen a SOBO video before. Almost a different trail. I would seriously like to know how you got the hornets out of your water bottle! Yuk.

What a lovely video. Thank you for sharing this!

Congrats on your journey south! Looked amazing. I’m sure we crossed paths at some point as I met RockSolid on several occasions (where are his videos???). Your video brought back so many memories and emotions! Nicely done.

Bravo! You crushed it! 🤠🖖

Great job on the hike and in producing an excellent video!

Good music, commentary, and all around great video. I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to hiking the PCT

Wow! Quite the adventure!!

Nicely done and thanks for sharing - it's nice to have a SOBO perspective. Such a contrast from NOBOs that started in March.

Great job!!! I loved your video! You really lucked out on the fire closures this year by hiking south. Hope to see more videos from you in the future! Hi from Washington State.

First true SOBO I’ve seen, very well done! Makes me reconsider my route in the spring

Great video! Thanks for posting a SOBO video. I hike in the Alps every season and try to do the long trails. I've hike the E5 and from Munich to Venice on the "Dream Way". I totally get the 10000' elevation sign and the "this is why I'm struggling so much".

This is awesome ! please come and visit Michoacan Mexico... it's beautiful here..

South bound is sweet.

Greetings from Denmark. I was gonna follow you, just because of the name "Todd from Texas" and then you live up to it: Down to earth and good sence of humour. Can't wait to se more.

Just finished😊 great and inspiring video🤙

u no, the only other PCT videos iv`e watched is the Blazin Bakers, which is still going on. u may of passed her along the way. iv`e been pretty much an AT watcher since i found these videos.

Such a beautiful and wonderful thru-hike video ❤ ✌ 👣 I've completed the PCT three times in my many National Scenic Trails adventures... My first time was SOBO so your video touched me as it brought back endless memories. Congratulations on your personal life growth in this epic undertaking .

Very well constructed and shot. I hope that you have rebounded from the post trail effects. Hoping also that you have future vlogs in the works.
