Magnificent video! I hope people realize how much time and effort you are putting into your videos. (And that neither you nor I are getting rich off of them.) This one was absolutely great. Also, I was not aware you were crying so much. Maybe that’s one of the benefits of being ahead on the trail! (Joking, of course, I always feel bad when you’re not having a good day.)

Thank you, Liz, for keeping it real for us! Backpacking isn't always easy but you're doing great! Give yourself some grace and don't lose faith in yourself. You got this!

Doing 20s at those altitudes is difficult as your breathing 60 to 70% of sea level oxygen concentrations. Taking that into consideration your both doing very well. Hike safe!

19:25 made me laugh because I was thinking the same thing when it popped up, lol

Great video Liz. Even though you and Evan are on the same trail, you each cover different aspects of the hike. You guys are good hiking partners. Wish your Hubby could have finished it with you.

Wow! You showed us the good, the bad, and the ugly of this hiking day. You’re so brave

Wow some of that scared the shit out of me! Glad your bad day turned around! ❤ It’s such a miserable feeling when you have miles to go and literally can’t stop 😫

😂😂 when that guy during the hail said “i’m tired” and you pan back to yourself and mouth “me too” 🤣🤣

I appreciate that you were real and shared your authentic experience in this video

"Harsh"...very accurate description of that section. "Would I do it again? Absolutely!" Heck yeah Liz!! EPIC video!! Had to watch this one a second time on 65-inch TV screen...wow!! You and Evan are killing it. I'm so proud of you both! This series is so enjoyable; thanks so much for sharing!! Oh yeah, that bird was a Dusky Grouse, I believe. Be safe!!!

The first snow crossing was wicked.

The longer the video, the better! Especially yours!! You show so much. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing, and DO NOT apologize for long videos lol

Life is about experiencing all and the contrast is necessary. Without the stress, the joys aren't as sweet. It's all perfect! Joining your adventure from here in Mexico!

Hang in there Liz, you got this.

That was one scary snow crossing! Much scarier than Evan's version. Beyond bravery!

You have now experienced the joy of climbing over SCREE.

That's some tough hiking! Glad you made it through Mordor.

That's a smokin' video title!! I saw Evan's version of this first. He mentioned the possibility of falling down the snow, hitting the rocks and mangling of his body. Your video was far more telling and choosing not to film was the right thing to do. You guys are doing awesome in very difficult terrain. Love the flashback to Pennsylvania comment there regarding the terrain though. My home AT state! It is so awesome to know that kind of undeveloped land still exists in this country. Soooo beautiful! Keep rockin' and have a great weekend Liz!

Awesome video. Yup, I don’t understand the trying to kill your self mileage either. Have fun. Happy Trails

You got this hun and that feeling ur gonna have at the end of your journey is gonna make the hard times worth it ❤

Your pictures and videos looked great! You do a great job on your narration . Hang in there, you got this.

Always do what you can to allow you to enjoy the adventure. If you can add a day to help ease it then that’s great!!

Freaking killing it Liz!

Sick video, always love waiting for these to come out

You're doing so amazing Liz,it's ok to cry,I can imagine those 20 mile days being alot on u physically and emotionally,but you got this girl,u r Killin it,also don't apologize for a longer video I love them 😊❤ keep safe and I can't wait for more.✌💚

So beautiful!

You guys are tough! Great video as always, thanks for sharing. Onward

Liz, so amazing thank you so much for doing these great videos!!

Liz, the way you tell your story through film is amazing. I rode the emotions with you....I hope with the new mile plan you can enjoy the next stage with a little less stress...kudos !!

Everything packed into one video. You guys are amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

That looked grim! Much respect to you 🫡

You are doing great!!! Keep it up!! Onward!!

Girl, you are ROCKING IT!!!! Keep that chin up. On the last trip I took there were moments I cried like a baby and threw a temper tantrum every 10 or so miles...lol. Some trips are harder than others even if the terrain is "easier". You should be proud of yourself!

Awesome video, Liz! I love your honesty, I doubt that I will ever get to Colorado again (ski trip to Breckenridge), so watching you and Evan do this is great. Take care!

Great video it seemed short to me lots of emotions and lots of weather. . I appreciate y’all sharing your experience with us.

That looked tough tough tough. And so beautiful. You and Evan are strong and determined and brave. I would have NEVER walked over those sketchy snow patches, omg.

Happy Birthday again, Evan!

Scary as shit on the hill side! YoW! Liz you are one tough cookie. And that was a GREAT VIDEO, Salute! 😀

I love the long video's. Especially the CT, my goodness how beautiful. I wish I was in my 30's again. Pat yourself on the back girl. You are tough!!

The snow, rocks, & gravel slowed you up from your normal pace. That’s frustrating in itself. I wish you guys had crampons with you. Amazing scenery! Sending you lots of hugs and love Liz! ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent tears of accomplishment

I love the long videos… I was going to try to do the CT this year but I got a brand new job so I couldn’t, but they’re aware that I want to do it next summer, so I really love your videos! I live in Monument, Colorado! Keep up the good work! If you ever find yourself in Monument, which you probably won’t, hit, me up! I am a psych NP, and I think doing the trail would be a good experience that maybe I could pass on to my patients!

Liz, I'm sorry you had a mini meltdown, but girl you're the toughest gal I've seen! You were hiking over 12,000 in nasty cold weather over rough terrain and doing over 20 miles!!! That's amazing!!! I honestly don't know how you do it!!! And then to sleep in the freezing cold and everything getting wet, I just don't know how you do this!!! I really started watching your channel for dreadlock info. But seeing all you e been through and all that you accomplish, well you are an inspiration even for this crippled old lady! I'll never hike again but I'm going to start going to the gym and at least get on the treadmill and do some work with weights. Thanks so much for showing us your life and proving that we can rise above adversity and keep moving forward!❤

I would have never guessed Evan was 60. He looks so much younger. Beautiful scenery but hiking in those high altitudes does not look so fun.

.. Was a very nice video ... I have hiked/backpacked for over 50 years ,, not a through hiker ,, have never done a 20 mile day ..ever .. don't know the "WHY" in doing so .... your there to experience the terrain and beauty of it all ,, rushing through or hiking through the dark makes no sense to me .. a twisted ankle or a fall that could break bones is very real ,, especially on that scree rock ... Slow down and smell the Columbines ... Going to bed early and getting up early ,, you miss a big part of hiking high mountains ..... One of the bonuses of being at altitude ,, on a clear night you can touch the stars ....

When your hiking long distances time is an issue. Most of us have to get back to our real life's. I am well into my 60s- and 20-mile days are common, and I don't feel like I miss anything. I am on the trail between 5 and 530 am and I hike until I am tired or find a great camp spot. I love night hiking and most people I know love it to. Sometimes you need to hike further than you want to clear long sections up high, no safe places to camp, no water ect. We all hike differently and that is what keeps things interesting. take care and enjoy your hike.

❤️ Long days. Maybe you could shorten a day and take a Nero instead. It's beautiful scenery but here for the vibes!

One tough lady! Ole Ben once said, "Out of adversity comes opportunity." In this case admazing adventure, confidence and fun. Thanks for the views and the laughs. Great editing.

Big Hug!!

Liz there is nothing wrong with a little cry once and a while. Its probably healthy. Peace

The longer the better 😀 the video...

OMG

Holy moly…I have to ask. Do you ever ask yourself why you do this for fun? 😂😂😂

When you set up camp and get a bit to eat … do you just go to bed exhausted or do you stay up and chill out …. I guess you work on videos too … was just wondering…thanks

What are them fluffy fur ball creatures? Are they beavers? Come hike NZ and then u can say “im in lord of the rings” 🤭🤭

Marmots.

I have friends in Salida... Monarch pass is gorgeous. This is making me regret selling my house in CO 🙄

Sorry, one more thing… And I know you’re very experienced… But as somebody who has been caught many times, exposed to the weather, get in your bag and lay down flat if it gets really real!
