born and raised in NM and did this trail today for the first time. It was breath taking. Hiked to the lake and back to car and drove back 16 miles total. 8 miles each way. A day I remember and cherish for a long time

I can't believe I found this on a whim! Going to new mexico next week

Nothing better than being in the wilderness. The Trampas Lake was just stunning. Thanks for taking me with you. Reminds me of the area where I hike. Great video

Amy Routt Thanks for watching. The Aspens were my favorite.

Fun video. It was presented in an interesting fashion. I liked the way that you "interviewed" yourself in a way, and presented the actual footage more as B roll. It reminds me that there are other ways to present content other than simple chronological format. Thanks for sharing!

Star Mountain Outdoors & Bushcraft thanks for watching. I think telling stories is more my fashion. I figure lots of people are presenting trail descriptions.

Trampas lakes is on our list for this summer... thanks for the video!

I looked up "Carson National Forest" because I was thinking about my trip there 3 years ago. The first frame was exactly the place where we camped. Beautiful memories. I miss NM. Thank you for this video.

@@MyLifeOutdoors for sure! I lived for two years in Montezuma, NM. I was lucky enough to have long trips in the wilderness, up to two weeks. I explored the Pecos, the Carson National Forest, Hermit's and Wheeler Peak. Outside of the state I had the chance to hike inside the Grand Canyon and in the Coyote Gulch area in Utah. I will never forget the beautiful landscapes in NM and the warm feeling.

This places looks beautiful! I need to dig deeper into New Mexico...it’s got a ton of great hikes. Great video!

Wish I could been there with you!!! What a gorgeous place!

So I was searching for videos of hikes we want to do when we go to NM in a few weeks and I was so excited to watch this one of Trampas lakes. I get about 30 seconds in and realize I recognize a familiar face!! Who knew Steven would be helping us plan our summer adventures!! Hey!!

Love this trail!

Beautiful area!

I went when I was 8 yrs old in 98’ Cool video, I need to go back. There were a lot of goats when I went

I had a wonderful time at the Trampas Lakes in the Pecos Wilderness. What is your favorite Alpine Lake camping spot?

i live in nm and my father quite literally grew up exploring the area in the video! there are even waterfalls within a day of that location.

Amazing Video. Truly great. Just amazed by the color and the lighting. I'm headed out there next month to do the Jack's Creek TH around to Pecos Trail and back. Any recommendations? Can't stop the rain, but how cold did it get at night? Looking to get at least one summit. Is North Truchas doable with mountaineering?

3:33 WOW!

Hey could you share the original loop you planned? Looking to do this hike but want closer to ~25+ miles

How long was that hike to get to the trailhead? Where exactly did you get dropped off?

It was a short time spent at the lake but it sure was pretty I'll say.

i'm doing this trail next summer! r there plenty of places to set up camp by the lake? i wonder if it mught b crowded

@MyLifeOutdoors

Yes, plenty of places. And two lakes to choose from. There were maybe 6 other camps set up the weekend I was there in October. But I could barely see them from my camp

I'm going to this trail next weekend! Any tips? Is there a good camping area at the trailhead?

Hiking from Truchas is a lot more hiking! Respect

If I did this I would be concerned about bears. The tent doesn't offer any protection. How do you know you won't be ambushed or something?

@MyLifeOutdoors

3 жыл бұрын

The likelihood of being ambushed by a bear is extremely low. Every time I go out I take precautions like not bringing any food into my tent, hanging my food 200 feet from my tent and more. In over 10 years of backpacking Iv only ever seen bears from a distance. It is much safer than it may seem.

When are you going to make more videos?

That's hateful and out of character for people who love the outdoors. It is hard to believe. Are you confessing to your misdeeds?

That’s a lot of talking on camera for an outdoor channel. Maybe narrate your thoughts with more outdoor footage. Just saying.

Unforgivable to ruin the serenity of an alpine lake with shitty royalty free music.
