Good job great video

Sawtooth Lake is magnificent. I was there in August 2014. I too appreciate your minimal narration (as with lthe videos posted by Harmen Hoek and Kraig Adams). Thank you for sharing your trip!

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I've scaled back on doing a lot of talking. Taking the Kraig Adams approach and letting nature do most the of the talking in the videos. I stayed at the second small no name lake South of Sawtooth Lake directly off the Sawtooth Lake Trail.

Really enjoyed this. You obviously put a lot of work into taking the shots. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed the video. I used a Sony ZV-1 camera for recording with an aluminum tripod.

Thank you for this amazing video. Quality of camera and film work is excellent and provides a great overview of the backpack. Hoping to do this with friends later this year so really appreciate the insight and details. Was curious if you had any issues with stream crossings as you started relatively early? Are there any planning resources you would recommend? Cheers!

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. As far as stream crossings, no I did not have any issues. There weren't many and all of them were below my knees. Good resources - for maps, I used the National Geographic version for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area which you can buy on Amazon. The Alltrails app has the route with some good information. For reserving campsites around the Sawtooths like Grandjean, you can go to Recreation.gov to reserve a site.

Wow! This is beautiful videography! Thank you for sharing! The Sawtooths are a bucket list item for me. Was wondering if you used a bear canister and if it was required? Again, thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the country.

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video. It is an amazing area and should be on any backpacker's buck list to hike. Bear canisters are not required. I used an Ursack and didn't have any issues with critters.

Thanks for the video. We are thinking of hiking this in the upcoming summer. Is there a book or guide you used to plan campsites etc?

@seekingthetrail9830

Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sure there are references out there that detail where campsites are...I didn't use any. Since this was a national forest area, I knew that you can camp anywhere in the area. From watching other videos, there always seemed to be campsites at almost every lake along the trails. That seemed to be the case from what I notice. So I planned my trip staying at a lake each night and had no problem finding a camp sight.

Amazing video! What month did you do the hike? Did you see any bears in the valley before sawtooth lake?

Thank you very much. The hike was done the first week of July. No bears or any large animal sightings the entire hike. Only wildlife was a marmot near Sawtooth lake on the last day. The Black flies were terrible in the area :(

Wow, I want to go to a mountain with such a wonderful scenery. It looks so grand. It looks bigger and grander than the mountains in Korea. Is there a bear? I heard that there are many wild animals in foreign mountains... Korea is okay because there are no dangerous wild animals. However, I heard that there are many dangerous wild animals in large mountains in other countries. Isn't there such a risk here?

Thank you watching and for your comments. There are many mountainous regions in the Western United States that offer scenery much like the Sawtooth mountain range. Depending on the mountain range you are in, you can see a variety of different wildlife, including those that are dangerous. Black bears are very common to see in most areas. In some areas you can come across grizzly bears or mountain lions.

Thank you! Amazing photography and music.

Nice shirt.

Quick question:. Which hike was this listed as on the All Trails app?

@seekingthetrail9830

Жыл бұрын

On AllTrails type in "Sawtooth Wilderness Loop". It is listed as 62.1 miles in length starting and finishing at Grand Jean trailhead. If you do this hike, I recommend going counter- clockwise so that you can finish your trip at the beautiful Sawtooth Lake and the last leg of the loop is downhill.

Absolutely beautiful, wondering how you managed to get all that video with out any people other than the alpaca herders in your shots? Also, what month did you do this in? With scenery like that you really don't need much help in getting great shots but you went above and beyond.

No grizzlies, but it wouldn't be uncommon to see one in this area. Black bears are more common to see.

The music is distracting, FYI

Do you have a link to this loop? I can find Grandjean but not this particular loop.

I'm shocked at the lack of wildlife. No deer, elk, goats, sheep, or even 1 bird. What's up with that? Very surprised of that fact.
