Hiking 66 Miles on the Four Pass Loop Solo
This is an extended version of the Four Pass Loop that includes an additional 4 passes adding Capitol Lake and 40 miles to the hike. I call it the 8 Pass Loop. In my opinion, Capitol Lake was the absolute highlight of the whole trip. Definitely worthwhile adding it to your plans. In addition, the added section from the Snowmass Creek Trailhead to Geneva Lake was far less busy and I had the trail largely to myself.

PCT SOBO Southern California

The final steps of an amazing journey traveling southbound on the Pacific Crest Trail. I made it to MEXICO!! The desert was anything but boring. I was ready to finish the hike after walking over 2000 miles but the beauty of southern California mixed with my stubbornness really kept me moving. Shameless and I enjoyed lots of laughs as I tried to keep up with him. There was lots of solitude. Some...

17.5 mile loop in the southern half of Linville Gorge. Pinch In to Cambric Branch to MST to Leadmine to LGT to Pinchin. I did this as a day hike but it can easily be made into an overnighter. There are numerous campsites around. There is plenty of water along the LGT and also a few springs on Shortoff with some great campsites with views. For a longer trip I'd recommend crossing the river at th...

Hope to hike with you one day friend
That would be great! Will let you know when I’m back in the states!
“Made it!!!!! …….. uuuuuuuuuh I made a mistake.” 😂
😂 definitely not planned that way but it worked out!
Great video! I really enjoyed watching. This looks like an amazing trip. So glad you were able to get a permit.
I’ve done a lot of hiking and this was definitely one of my favorites! I posted the AllTrails links in the description. Be sure to check those out. Thanks for the message!
I have yet to make it to the Grand Canyon! Thanks for sharing Joe!! You are my inspiration!
Hey Jenne! Thanks! The Grand Canyon is great below the rim! Hope the PNW is treating you well!
Outstanding solo adventure, brilliant shots and ambience!
Thanks! I'm working on capturing the moments even better. The Grand Canyon is absolutely beautiful once you drop below the rim!
Beautiful views and nice video work displaying the area.
Thanks for positive feedback! I'm getting back into CZcams and have a few more adventures to post. This was definitely one of my favorite hikes!
Awesone! How long dod it take to hike 35k in day4? What time did you started and finished?
I started off a little before 7 in the morning and arrived at the refuge at 7:30pm. I do wish I had brought more water from town that day as the last climb was very long and the refuge had bottles for sale but they were very expensive.
Did you mention how long it took to go up and then down? Thanks
I'm late seeing this but hey, I absolutely loved every minute of your trek! Missus and I have traversed 90 percent of the trails you hiked, beginning to end... OMG, so many awesome memories and..same feelings! We wananna thank you! From our hearts ❤ bty, I'm now age 75, missus is 69.. Crush us wuth love again oh dude most maximus 😊 I'm serious,thank you so much!
Better late than never, right? I'm getting back into youtube and will posting again. Life happened. The Gorge... I love it there. I have a lot of great memories from my childhood up until now. Its a very unique place for sure. I've been on some really big trips over the last couple of years and will be posting those shortly. Don't forget to subscribe to stay up to date. Thanks for the kind words!
Its kinda sad but humorous the person Mitchell for whom the mountain was named! Was named Mt. Mitchell after he climbed the mountain measured its hieght and fell to his death true story!
Very interesting fact!
Wow! Beautiful, when is the best time for wildflowers to the Canada border??
I was there in early / mid July of both 2016 and 2017 and the flowers were amazing around then!
Glad to see you were prepared for a change in the weather! You are so right: Nature IS good for the soul.
Just hiked Mitchell today. Incredible hike. You are so right; nature is good for the soul. Great video. Peace.
I hiked it last June. It was definitely one of the most challenging and rewarding things I’ve done.
Hopefully you can keep that drive going! I love being outside and exploring. There is so much to see!
Going to do this loop later this month. Ive attempted to cross at spence ridge and devils hole but thought it was too dangerous in both cases. What is the situation at Brushy ridge? is it easy like the south end?
Awesome man. U did it rly fast, nice. Great job. I was in Chamonix last summer, rly awesome environment. Hope to do the TMB once. Btw, the budget needed can be costy i see. Also if u gonna need also all the gear, tent etc. How was the wild camping? I mean how or what to do if it rains a lot of thunder? Sounds scary if something like that happens hehe. Greetings from Alkmaar. ;)
Thanks! I didn't have much time and knew that I wanted to complete the whole loop so I pushed through it quickly. Its absolutely beautiful out there. I plan to revisit the Geneva and Chamonix area this August. Wild Camping can be difficult as the regulations vary by country. I'm more use to the US National Forest where you can pretty much set up anywhere.
I did the Mount Mitchell trail a few months ago... beautiful subtropical rainforest with the occasional sighting of some pademelons and lace monitors. Oh, it's the one in the Main Range National Park here in Queensland, Australia. Didn't realize there was one in the U.S. as well, this came up on my YT feed.
LOL. I'm reading this now like North Carolina is subtropical?!? haha. Cheers mate!
Great video! I want to hike the PCT SOBO and there's such a paucity of good videos on the SOBO experience so it's hard to get a sense of what it's like, as compared to all the NOBO videos out there. I really appreciate you sharing your experience!
Did you end up hiking the PCT SOBO? Would love to hear your experience.
@@TallJoeHikes Hi! Sort of half and half, though the high snow year last year made me decide to leave out a section and start further north than I'd planned. I did a bit of Oregon and all of WA NOBO, then flipped down to Lake Tahoe and went SOBO from there. I think it worked really well - sort of got to pick the season for each section - but didn't have a very social trail experience. I'm going to go back and try to thru hike it to pick up the section I haven't done, and if I miss sections I've already done next time I'll be okay with that and just consider it two long-ass section hikes!
Two very long-ass section hikes!! Haha. I totally understand missing out on the social part. During my NOBO AT thru hike I went with the bubble and met a lot of people. For the PCT I thought I wanted something different and although I met some really great people.. there were also more lonely days than I expected. If I was to do the PCT again, I think I would go north. NOBO would be a completely different experience on the same trail. I hope you have a great experience next time around! Have fun!
man what luck ,never see dead bodies ,fuck up shoulder, very fun vid
great comeback!!! thanks for the vid! how was the shoulder ?
Thanks Pelle! Shoulder is good now. Wish I was still out there. Such a beautiful trail.
@@TallJoeHikes thats great love your videos they are very funny ! but man your luck is shit ! i going to try a south tru hike of the PCT in july so this vid help alot thanks
@@pellelindbergh4455 glad to hear. Good luck out there! Each part of the trail is very unique but my favorite was definitely Washington especially in mid to late July.
When you doing another hike
I'm getting back into youtube now. Its been a while since I posted but I've done a lot. I have footage that I'm working on from the Grand Canyon and from Colorado. Will post those shortly.
That was a badass year hiking through the Sierras.
Great shots. Thanks for sharing!
Your detailed description is very helpful, thank you. May I ask few questions over email?
fstopro of course.
@@TallJoeHikes pls let me know your email ID
I am also considering mid April start. I would like to hear more about your rain situation. Was it many days of downpour? Did you bring poncho, goretex shoes, rain pants etc? How did you keep yourself and gear dry? Are there drying machine at the albergues to dry wet stuff?
Hey man what camera are you using to film?
This one was probably the GoPro Hero 3 or 4. I've since switched to an iPhone 14 pro as its small, lightweight and films nature really well.
Need louder audio.
Does it have white or blue blazes like the AT? So we dont get off track.
Outdoorsy Wanna be the MST section has white circles but much of this route is unmarked. You’ll want to download the avenza app and the maps from lgmaps.net
I'm thinking of climbing it next weekend to see the sunrise. Are there camping sites near the peak?
Looks like an awesome adventure, but why on earth would you not use an actual tent in weather like this?
Ha ha! That would have been a better idea however its also part of the adventure!! I've done a lot of hiking in the gorge so I'm pretty confident with getting out of there if needed.
Nicely done. Looks like you had great weather. Looks like you are enjoying life in Europe.
Mid 70s and sunny everyday. It was perfect timing for my trip.
What a beautiful place! Nice vlog! Hopefully one day me and my wife can head out that way and get some footage for our Channel. thanks for sharing !
cool video. nicely done taking in all the miles. good job.
Do you know the artist for the song that starts at 4:58? Anyone?
Hey Keith. I searched for a bit and can't find it. The name of the song that I have in fcpx is Hilltop. All of the music on my pct videos is from the free youtube page. Wish I could help you more.
@@TallJoeHikes cool, thanks!
What camera did you shoot with?
Gopro Hero 5 Black at 2.7k
I would recommend going the opposite direction. Just our preference. Easy shuttle to Daniel Boone, trail gets easier as you approach Brevard, and you can finish in Brevard w/ swimming, food, etc.
I agree! I felt like I was going uphill for the whole first day. Good idea with the swim as well!
hah i ski at pico, its funny to see route 4 on camera with people walking on it. Awesome video!
Great videos Matt! I've just binged watched all your SOBO one's in prep for my SOBO attempt in July. Thanks so much for sharing your journey so well :) and well done on your hike.
I'm just getting back into youtube!! Figured I'd reply even if its 5 years late. lol. How did your trip go?
Incredible video!!! I am hiking Harts Pass to Etnas this year July 17 start :) would you recommend an ice axe or are microspikes sufficient?
Thanks Jessica! There will be snow chutes for you to cross well into July. The ice axe is kind of like insurance. I was happy that I had the self arrest ski pole in 2017. I had an ice axe in 2016 when I fell and it was strapped to my pack.... It really depends on your level of comfort and experience on the snow. Stay safe and have fun. Washington is beautiful!!!
LOL Peace out Canada... Next clip... Seperated shoulder Mother Nature doesn't like douch-nozzle statements. 😀 👎
I went back and finished the whole trail...
Boooo . Randomly ran into this video. Ahah. Almost cried. Give me some News. Im in canada now, your second country lol;) miss u.
Did you wear cramp ons for your shoes while hiking in the snowy areas?
I only wore them coming up Red Pass and for a short section over a mostly iced over snow chute near Cutthroat Pass. I know its extra weight but I'm glad I had them. Every year is totally different and snow can last far into July through Washington. Are you headed out SOBO this year?
I'm planning a small section in late August beginning of September. I'm thinking about starting in harts pass to Stevens pass. Its about 160 miles. Would love to do more but sadly that's all the time I'm going to have.
I'll be birdwatching there soon...getting psyched!
Super nice area. Enjoy!!
Great shot of McAfee Knob!
The sunrise and sunset on McAfee are totally worth it! You can find a spot near the summit but we stayed at the shelter on the north end.
Nice video brother!! Brought back a TON of memories!!! Thanks & I hope ALL is well!!!
Thanks Chris!! Hope you are doing well!
Hey, where’s your Camino vid gone from the channel?
Idk? Its on the playlist for the Camino. I'll try and fix it. Thanks!
@@TallJoeHikes Thanks!
poop
Great sense of humor and narration. Definite subscribe.
I've never felt good about parking at the Wolf Pit. Too cautious?
Fantastic video series. I've watched a lot of these to help prepare/get me psyched for a SOBO, and yours is my favorite. Well done.
Thank you Dan. I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Be sure to check out "HurlgoatHiker" as well. He has tons of footage of his hike SOBO on the PCT.
