The view from that Washington Pass Overlook was awesome! Beautiful little falls along the hike and the lake was worth the hike. Well done, brother.
Loved North Cascades. So remote and beautiful. Every mile traveled by car and on foot was totally worth it. If you haven't visited, i highly recommend that you add it to your bucket list!
I second that! Definitely worth a visit to the North Cascades! ❤️
Just so marvelous around each and every corner...and those views and the colour of those waters...so, so awesome!!!
Thanks Bruce! The views and colors in the lakes and rivers were amazing. It was a very enjoyable day.
the views of the north cascades national park out of this world. getting to walk on the pct very cool.
Thanks Rerun! Though only briefly, being on the PCT was special. We had a wonderful day at North Cascades NP.
A very cool trail and I love some of those still shots..
Thanks Max! We had a wonderful time in the North Cascades!
That pine beatle is really a pain. They were in Germany as well. Route 20 over the Cascades, I have been there a few times and I hope to go there again next summer. 😊 Have a great day! Kaat
That would be nice to return to the North Cascades. So many beautiful sights and trails to explore. Thanks Kaat!
Such a beautiful area and so many pretty wildflowers. I think that stood out the most is the color of those lakes - such a pretty blue color.
The glacial silt in the lakes make them so blue. Also love how clear and clean the mountain lakes are.
The Cascades are really beautiful. Wild flowers are always nice to see. When I'm hiking, I love seeing flowers along the trail. It's nice seeing a mountain lake that doesn't have speedboats on it making noise. That was cool seeing the PCT. That log bridge was so cool. I think I could hear the power humming. John from MI
Thanks John! I’m with you on the wildflowers! The lakes were so clear and clean! First time stepping on the PCT. Excellent day in the North Cascades.
Beautiful walk and that river was really moving. It is hard to believe that it's been almost a year since you, Sue and I hiked the Potawatomi Trail!!! That sure was a good time. John (OSAT) from MI
Wow, has it been a year already. I just did a 6 day trip to the Adirondacks with a 16 year old from NC. Great trip!
Beautiful nature my friend
It sure was! We enjoyed the day.
So many wonderful places in this country....we are so so blessed ! Lovely selfies of the two of you with that beautiful water behind you. I followed a couple who did the PCT a couple of years ago. That looks a LOT more difficult than the AT ! Nice that you got your toes on it though....lol. Beautiful pics ! Praise God ! \o/
Amen to all the beautiful places! Thanks on the selfies! That was neat to be on the PCT. I’m currently following a brother in the Lord on the PCT, Big T. Thanks Eileen and God bless!
Lots of driving but so worth it.❤❤❤
Sue likes to see as much as possible when we travel so always have to be prepared to drive a lot. Definitely worth seeing all the beautiful sites👍.
So nice upload, awesome presentation, thanks for sharing dear. All the best to you. Have a wonderful day and see you next time again. Many Greetings from Germany. ♥ Like 16
Thanks! It was an exciting trip with the wildlife’s!
i DO NOT recommend this method for expensive carbon poles. all this did was scratch the hell out of the poles. the boiling option also did not help! Eventually I had to cut through the tips with a saw to get them off. there was adhesive residue on the pole indicating the tips had been glued on. I have the BD Alpine Z carbon
@@englischdude My poles are Black Diamond aluminum and this works perfectly for them. Thanks for the tip that it doesn’t work on carbon poles.
Let's go back! These videos give the opportunity to relive this wonderful trip. So glad we got to do it together 😊. Praise God!
❤️
Beautiful cascades! Looks like no lack of water in those falls and rivers. Just returning from a trip to Kentucky, where leaves are already starting to change due to drought. Hard to imagine with all the rain we've had in CT! The beauty of God's creation!
It was beautiful! I’m currently in the Adirondacks but taking a day in town to dry out from a lot of rain on Mount Marcy!
Love that I get to experience these trails with you ❤
Thanks for watching and the continued encouragement! It was a beautiful day of hiking and site seeing.
Gotta love those fast flowing mountain streams and rivers...fantastic!!
Thanks Bruce! We really enjoyed it!
Sure was pretty. It put me in mind of when we'd take horses into the Cascades with neighbors so many years ago ...
That must have been super fun horseback riding there. Great memories!
Beautiful walk! Great cascade in Cascade mountains...😊 All the best, Kaat
Thanks Kaatje! Another fun day in Washington state.
Really like the combination of photos and videos. The creek scenery was especially beautiful!
Sue does a great job of planning our trips and picking nice hikes like this one.
I bet that water's COLD !! I love those big mountain streams/brooks/rivers.....nice picture of Sue on the bridge ! That's one area of the country I've never been to....beautiful ! Blessings to you and Sue and thanks for sharing your travel adventures ! \o/
I had been to Seattle years ago for a business trip but only saw a little of Olympic NP. There is so much to see out there. Worth a trip or two.
Love the views, commentary and country music!😊
Thanks Peter! We enjoyed this day together. God is good!
Beautiful sceneries for sure.❤❤❤
We enjoyed exploring the scenery together. God blessed us with a wonderful day.
Beautiful nature
Thanks and it was a very enjoyable day.
I have been at Lake Chelan. There was a waterslide park where we went with the kids. Lots of fun. And a blueberry farm where you could have a delicious breakfast. But I never had the pleasure of taking a boat trip on the lake. The fires look crazy. There are often fires in the area. In 2015 when we were there, it was pretty bad as well... It must be hard to fight it. My host brother is a firefighter at Spokane. Have a great day! Kaat
Must have been fun in the day. The boat trip was fun and the fires made the adventure even more exciting. Thanks Kaat!
Very nice here throughout enjoy the weekend 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗
Thanks! We enjoyed the boat trip and getting close to the fires was exciting.
A day to remember! Beautiful valley scenery with the 4 hr boat trip on the lake, a day of relaxation between our otherwise busy hiking and driving itinerary, the flames and smoke so close but safely observable and time together. Pretty awesome!
It was neat seeing the fire up close but safely from the boat. ❤️
such a beautiful lake even with the haziness due to the fire. the view from the ferry is breathtaking. I could imagine what a pleasant and lovely ride it was from Chelan to Stehekin. those are majestic Mountains, and some remaining snow on top. the view at 6:01 is just gorgeous. wow, it burned right to the lake. that is scary where the fire is getting close to the houses. it's nice to see Sports activities on the lake. truly enjoyed this ferry ride. thank you from your new fans - Lino and Line
@@LinoandLine The fires made a wonderful adventure even more exciting. We enjoyed the day on the lake. Thanks for checking it out!
We're getting tons of smoke here right now. I'm not sure if it's from fires in WA or not. You picked up some great footage.
@@MinuteontheMountain Thanks brother! God bless!
Beauty and devastation at the same time. Must have been kind of bittersweet. Glad you got to some more National Parks. Blessings to you and Sue!
Thanks Sue! The fires added a little more unique excitement to the boat trip. 3 in Washington are done. Time to start planning another state.
Always sad to see fires. I think of the wildlife. I’m also amazed at how fast nature recovers. Thanks Ken.
It sure does recover fast and some of those western pines need fire to open the cones to drop their seeds. God’s design is amazing!
Scary with the wildfires...seems to be happening in so many areas, especially out west here in Canada in Alberta and British Columbia.
They said most of them are man made. They are doing a great job keeping the pioneer fire away from towns and buildings.
Very sad to see all the smoke and the area on fire. Glad you were still able to enjoy the boat ride on the lake.
We were still able to enjoy the mountain views and the fires added some excitement to our adventure.
It is sad to see all the fires burning. When we used to go to Alaska, every summer they had forest fires going. We have a cousin living in Idaho and same thing, forest fires every summer. John from MI
Thankfully much of the burn areas rejuvenate quickly and certain pine trees need the fire for their cones to open up and release their seeds.
Wow! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍
Thanks! Even with all the smoke, we enjoyed the boat ride and visiting Stehekin.
That had to be an interesting trip. I've saw tons of smoke in 21, but no fire...
The fires made this boat ride unique. On the way back, the captain brought us in close for pictures when he saw one area flaring up.
I like damp
Thanks!
Looks like a great time.
It was fun and very unique with the fires. We couldn’t do one of our planned hikes due to trail closures with the fires.
I bet that ferry ride would have been something to see if you had gone at night ! What a nice pic of Sue sitting with that gorgeous view behind her ! Hope you got a nice still of that ;-) Blessings to you and yours Ken !! \o/
A night ride on a clear summer night would be awesome. Thanks Eileen! We enjoyed the boat ride and views even with all the smoke.
@@bestillonthetrail234 I was thinking the fire lighting up the night sky would be awesome...except....that it's a fire and well...right...lol
Washington State?
Yes, we went to the 3 National Parks in WA and a few other spots.
Beautiful area! So many flowers and vast colors! Justin said the Marmots look like big gophers. Loved the view of Mt. Raineir. Love the rainbow in the waterfall too. I'm sure your hearts were full. Sorry for the car trouble. Glad you got a tow.
Thanks Sue! Yeah, the car incident was a bummer but we were blessed to see so much beauty and continued to enjoy the trip in the following days. PTL!
Hi, There, I hope you are well. I Have Analyzed your CZcams Channel and found out some problems, And I see that none of your videos are in the search list. I can get your videos to the first page of the search list By SEO And can reach the targeted audience. SEO is the most important of any CZcams Channel's top ranking. Do you want to talk about it for a while?
Beautiful footage. Loved the rainbow coming off of the waterfall and the reflection on the lake.
@@MinuteontheMountain Thanks Brother! Loved the rainbow! Mount Rainier NP is awesome!
lol....did you have your bear spray with you up there ? 😄 You got some nice pics of the marmots ! I only saw one when we were in Yellowstone last summer. That scenery is so surreal to those of us who grew up in the East. Even when you're standing in the midst of it, your brain has a hard time grasping the distances and space ! The closest thing we have over here to that kind of environment is Mt Washington. Love the wildflowers and that waterfall is beautiful ! What a fun goal....getting to all the national parks ! Lol about getting that ride on the flatbed. I'm betting you got to enjoy a lot more of the scenery on your way down....not having to drive and being way up there ! LOL ! Thanks again for sharing your adventures Ken and Sue !! \o/
@@Emg2463 Thanks Eileen! No bear spray. Supposedly there are no grizzly bears in the areas we hiked. Mount Rainier was awesome with the views, wildflowers, waterfalls and wildlife. The rainbow in the waterfall was beautiful. Although the views were great while on the flatbed, would have preferred to avoid that ride. 🤔🤷
@@bestillonthetrail234 lol...I bet (about avoiding the car issue)
Have friends up at Camp Gilead just north of Snowqualmie Falls. Glad you had a chance to enjoy this Psalm 19 area ❤. This took me back to 2001 when our kids hiked around Rainer.
It must be amazing to to make it to the top of a mountain like this. Great memories of such a beautiful area. PTL!
it's so cool to see the wildlife up close. seeing the snow on the mountains abousutly beautiful
That was neat getting so close to the marmots. Mount Rainier was awesome.
Such a treat to be in such a majestic setting, especially at the height of wildflower season! The glaciers, waterfalls, views and marmots were awesome. What a treat!
❤
Wow! So beautiful with all the snow. Love those marmots.
Thanks Greyhound! It was nice to see so many marmots. It's such a beautiful mountain and the timing was perfect for wildflowers.
Excited video PTL. amazing views
Thanks Rerun! Mountains, wildlife, waterfalls and wildflowers. What could be better than that.
