Have so much fun! I am sure the flowers are absolutely popping right now.

Beast mode dude. I did it as a two nighter. I did counter clockwise too and going up Frigid Air on day two was one of the toughest climbs I’ve had. Awesome hike.

Man, I felt like every climb was as tough as that first one - elevation gain or not 😂 Awesome, awesome trail though.

Hell yeah man!!! Love seeing these trail running routes as well!!

Did the 4 Pass last year. Insanely beautiful trail.

This is way fun! Awesome day and love the beta and views!

No way!! I ran this with a friend yesterday! Super amazing but big day, Keep it up!!

You inspire us! Great work

Definitely will do it next trip to the states. Nicely done!

Freaking awesome man. Just do what you love and film it. Love seeing your personal journey and adventures. You have definitely inspired some of mine!

I was in shock how beautiful it was, the last time I was there it was covered in snow so I couldn't appreciate it!

Amazing channel and content thank you so much. Stay Blessed all!

Great video! I just did Maroons Traverse and Pyramid and Four Pass Loop really caught my eye! You've convinced me to def do it.

Geez! Good for you! This is impressive

If you've got a 4x4 with decent clearance you can also do this from the lead king basin trailhead kind of near the crystal mill. 27-28 miles. Start heading towards Geneva lake then turn right and you'll run into the loop about a mile from the turn. The trail to the loop was slightly overgrown when I did it.

Does this 4x4 route get you also up around Snowmass lake & Maroon pass?

Also, I assume lead king is reached from the gothic area just north of crested butte?

@@ertatta The Geneva Lake TH (aka Lead King Basin TH) is about as close as you can drive to Snowmass Lake as far as I know. If you're comfortable driving Devil's Punchbowl then yes technically you can take a 4×4 to the Geneva Lake TH from CB but it's way easier from the Marble side. The West Maroon trailhead is easier from the CB side and I'm pretty sure it's mostly just a gravel road but I'm not as familiar with that side.

This is also the way to summit Snowmass via S-Ridge which is a fantastic route!

Great video. Learned a lot, but I am still confused about the Bear Can rule (assuming you took some snacks). Is it because you are not overnighting it that you don’t need a Bear Canister?

@TheVirtualSherpa

Жыл бұрын

Correct - the bear cannisters are only required for overnights.

This one's been one the list for a while. How long did it take y'all?

Perhaps - think I will want to do something fun if I am slogging back in to snag Hagerman.

This question might be a tall order, but I'm trying to create a list of hikes that will enable me to hike flat terrain at between 12 and 14,000 ft. Example: hike up 2000 feet of gain, then walk on a pass/saddle for 3-4 miles at high elevation and then come back down. (Hope that made sense. I love hiking up to summits, but, I would really love to just hike up there on kind of flat ground instead of just turning around and hiking back down.) Thanks for all you do.

Check out hikes from Loveland Pass, Independence Pass, Berthoud Pass, Red Mountain Pass etc. In general, the driveable mountain passes are going to likely be your best bet for the hiking you are looking for. Loveland has a bunch of stuff: Sniktau, Grizzly etc.
