Your editing is outstanding and even better, your music selection. When you guys were hiking thru some big cathedral-like rocks there was organ music playing…….typical Catherine Gregory excellence. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Thanks so much!
Thanks for the memories Catherine. Having lived near Boise for 32 years, I learned real quick that I didn't want to backpack in the Sawtooths much before August 1st. Why? Before the 4th of July weekend is still winter up there. Snow, mud, high (roaring) creek levels and bugs! After the 4th it's beautiful green meadows and more BUGS. Plus, very busy trails. After Labor Day, is the perfect season. Sept 17th is better yet. Dry and cool helps eliminate the BUGS. And really quiet. Everything tourist wise is still open until last weekend of September, but no crowds once again. If you want even more solitude, head across the valley to the east and hike in the Whiteclouds Mountains. There's even areas of "quick sand"! Yikes!! Thanks again.
Awesome hiking trip Catherine 😊 You have lovely talent in presenting your Videos. I’m Blessed in finding your adventures on KZread ❤
The sawtooth mountains are so beautiful, it's definitely a bucket list destination for me .
Beautiful hike with a nice bunch of folks. Thanks for sharing!
Awww.. The Sawtooth mountains are beautiful. Welcome to my home state of Idaho. 🖐
The shot of the first lake with the mirror image was spectacular. This one was way different than most of your work Cat. Longer too but I liked that. It was perfect for viewing on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you 🙏 !
Great job, Catherine, of showing us the beautiful scenery of the Sawtooth Mountains.
As a former Scout leader, we visited Camp Bradley near the Sawtooths and Stanley, Idaho for a week summer camp. I attended the older 14 year old boys on a days river rafting trip and a few days doing mountain biking adventure. During the mountain biking, on the 2nd day my tire valve stem broke and the staff didn't have a replacement, so I ran along side my bike for over twenty miles to stay up with the group and where we were camping each night, bringing the disabled bike back to Camp Bradley. That was during the time I was running the St. George Marathon each year, and became one of my favorite memories within the Idaho mountains. You made a good choice being in the Sawtooth range of mountains. Beautiful country.
Yes. I lived in the Sun Valley area for years, and you may be correct. Hellroaring is pretty spectacular!

Thanks for taking us along Catherine. Once again your photography is beautiful.
You just can't help loving the scenery. I made many background photos for my computer. Can't believe no one tried fishing Imogene Lake. That is a well tempered man to go backpacking with three women. LOL
Simply fantastic. Inspired mostly by you, my wife and I are pursuing one more item on our bucket list which is selling everything, and going on the road full time to explore places like this. And we love shoulder seasons! Tomorrow we leave our home state for a journey of exploration for the next two years - or more. Thank you for the inspiration.
Super trip , Cat. Loads of breathtaking views of mountains, trees, lakes , trails and some wildlife 😊 Spacious campsites to eat, sleep & relax. Would be hard to leave. Be safe. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️😊
Thank you for the video and the breath taking scenery.
So beautiful in Idaho my friend 👍🏻💛🙏🏻
Oh my gosh! You are coming up on 100,000 viewers.
Boy, the Sawtooths are something. You are really hitting them all. What a great thing.
That cabin at the end of the video is amazing and has incredible views!
Wow, that was an awesome hike! The scenory there is so beautiful! I can not help but think of what a wonderful job God did in creating the beauty of this earth. Thank you for all of your hard work to show us these beautiful places!❤
Oh the stories between the video clips! What a fantastic trip. Thank you Cat for sharing this adventure and great time together! We loved it!

Another fabulous backpacking trip you have taken us with you and your friends on. Your editing skills are quite rewarding Catherine. I simply love and anticipate each one of your trail videos. 🏕🏞🪶💓👌😃
The golden hours in this area are just jaw-dropping! A beautiful hike beautifully captured by your flawless videography and narration. I'm rewatching this on the big screen!
Catherine, you never fail to capture heart stopping images!😊❤
Such a fun video! We love the Sawtooths! Loved the cabin at the end. When we were in Stanley, we stayed at Triangle C Cabins, and they were awesome. Loved your song choices in this video, too. We've used some of those same songs in our videos as well. Beautiful! ❤

We stayed at Triangle C cabins the last night. They came to our rescue a few years ago when we were supposed to do a 2 night trip at Sawtooth lake but decided to hike out after freezing the first night. Good thing we did because the mountains were covered in snow the next morning.

One of my most fav videos of urs. The scenery is astonishing! I even asked my husband if we could take the same exact hike missus the Maize Creek Trail.
Hello 👋 Catherine, thank you for sharing this beautifully filmed video. Greetings from Northern California. This video has gotten me motivated to go to Eldorado County for a three day hike and trout fishing getaway. Take good care of yourself. Stay safe, healthy, young and Beautiful every day. I look forward to your next award winning video. 🤗 🖐
Breathtaking views of the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains. Wonderful music. Your meals looked absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking us along on your hike with friends.
Nice little stroll, thanks for the ride !
Stunning scenery, great camera and editing. Thank You for all of your hard work and for taking me along to the Sawtooth mountains. Stay Safe!! Keep posting.🙏👍😎
The music selection is outstanding and @25:18 it is just a masterpiece, combined with great cinematography, thoroughly entertaining.
Amazing hike! Looks like you had great fellowship and everyone camped well together. Thanks!!
My wife and I hiked from Petit lake to Redfish Lodge. One of the most beautiful hikes we’ve done!!
beautiful videography!
Idaho is my favorite Catherine venture. Most beautiful vistas anywhere except Canada. And remember the Buck Super Moon? And, what great hiking buddies.
Love seeing the cute little critters along the way.
Another great video with good friends and amazing views and campsites. Beautiful photography.
It's my zen to watch your videos. I'm slowly learning, buying gear & hopefully next year I'll be hiking too. Haven't had a vacation in nearly 7 years.

Awesome video, absolutely beautiful scenery. Worth a second watch
🏞 Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to get my guitar and sing, Sunshine. One of my all time favorites from John Denver. 🤠🇺🇲😎
Great work, Catherine! Awesome region. I love the cut-outs to the little critters. Thanks for lingering a little bit with them. They’re so sweet. I also love watching the interaction and banter in the group. It was also fun and interesting to me to see what people were eating. 😄 Thank you for taking us on the adventures, especially from one who is no longer able to do that. Lord bless.
What an awesome trip! I think this is my favorite one from this year. So far, anyway.
I only hike in Maine and New Hampshire, so I'm very jealous of your scenic western hikes. Our mountains are beautiful, but damn the scenery out west is mind blowing.

Me too! Hiked all the Four Thousands Footers in Maine, NH and Vt. when we lived in NH. There are some very hard hikes there but living in Colorado now I am just blown away with the mountains and scenery. The West certainly has some absolutely amazing hiking. Much more rugged and of course higher peaks than back East.

I only hike in CA and the west and so want to see your neck of the woods so badly, especially now in the Fall. Our mountains here are spectacular but I love the dense forests and greenery of the northeast. I don't know where I will ultimately end up but I don't think I'll ever leave the west.❤
Awesome video! You do such a great job in capturing the beauty of the Sawtooths! We've enjoyed following you and your adventures this past year.
Your videos are always stunning!
What an absolute stunning place, huge thank you for making these videos. 🙌👍
So beautiful I am tearing up. Far too long since I have been in the mountains. And that bacon jerky! I have never heard of it, gonna get me some. Thank you Catherine for the always wonderful videos. ❤
Your videos are stunning and awe inspiring. I feel as though I’m there enjoying the beauty of the lake, trees and peaceful tranquility. I enjoy your choice in pairing the scenery with your background music. Thank you🌲❤️
Looks like it was a wonderful trip. Thanks for taking us along!🏔️
Great video! Brought back memories of doing that same hike a dozen years ago. Those lakes are still beautiful!
What a beautiful place. The mountains n lakes look Incredible! Thanks for taking me along Cat 😊
I’ve packed in on horseback to these same trails. So beautiful! Glad to know you have graced our Idaho trails! 🩷
That was amazing! It's nice to know there are still places in the USA so scenic. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Simply raw beauty. Stay well and safe.
Thanks for Sharing!! You guys are so awesome!
The Stanley Basin is what Jackson Hole was before all the people. The winters are brutal, but the place is so very special.
What a great video Cat. Those were definitely some epic campsites and incredible views! I’m loving the first person camera views while you’re hiking. I also love the tent talks at the beginning or ending of the day. I appreciate you sharing so much of your experiences with us. Keep it up! We love it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Stanley was my grandparents favorite place in the world. ❤ Sooo beautiful!
Beautiful scenery, wonderful hike⭐️😎🤩
Great video, some day I may get the opportunity to experience this trail 1st hand myself.😃😃
I saw a bit of the sawtooth area last summer 2022 from Ketchum through Redfish Lake. I loved the area and would love to see more. That mountain at Hell Roaring Lake with the hook reminded me of a snoring man. Beautiful video!❤
Thanks Cat for taking me places I will never get to. Stunning pictures
Another gorgeous video Catherine, thank you! I always feel good after seeing these beautiful places and views.❤
Beautiful views! Glad you had some friends to share this amazing trip with! 🙂
Beautiful! As always. I had never heard of the Sawtooth Mountains until I saw your videos. Thank you for bringing them to my attention and thank you for sharing all the beauty. I hope that I will be able to see them for myself some day. But if not, I have certainly enjoyed them through your lens.
Welcom back to Idaho! Our state is so beautiful, and still (mostly) undiscovered! It's postcard perfect around every bend in the trail !
We were just at the Sawtooth Mountains last week. Camped at Stanley Lake Campground. Beautiful place but we froze our tail off in the morning. The area around Stanley shuts down early. We were there 3rd week in Sept and the campgrounds with hookups were already closed for the season.
WOW, Breathtaking hike...gorgeous mountains and lakes...glad I went along with y'all, lol.
Idaho is SO beautiful!
Cat that was just awesome. The scenery is so beautiful there I can't seem to find words adequate to describe it. You do such a wonderful job of capturing all the beauty for us sitting at home. Thank you! You seem to have a knack for catching the wildlife at just the right moment. Truly and epic video. Thanks again.❤

My old stomping grounds for 20 years i miss the Sawtooths i know those mountains well, i used to have a youtube channel that was all filmed in there i should not have taken it down and i can tell you from Sunvalley all the way to stanely and beyond the mountains the trails are all amazing you can spend an entire summer and never hit all the trails and mountain lakes it is a unique i have a few videos on my gold mining channel that are shortened down version that were made in the sawtooths but most of those videos are on an external hard drive and i cannot get them off anyway i do not make mining videos anymore here in northwest Montana, and i get out an enjoy the mountains here all summer long we live for every moment but i do miss my old stomping grounds in the Sawtooths, great video thanks for sharing.
