Fascinating park! Beautiful scenery.
Yes it was!
The rotting death smell is Bigfoot!
Someone get that bigfoot some deodorant.
The green patches are probably oats or some other grass planted for deer.
That's a good possibility!
That place looks amazing!
It was!
Awesome video and montage!💯 We have cicadas sounds every summer here in Illinois. Can't wait for next Monday..👀👍👍
We have cicadas in Mn, but the sound is a little different, so I didn't recognize it. Thanks for watching!
@@happytrailbackpacking Illinois cicadas chirp with a different voice... I don't know but that's a mystery😁
Good video. Enjoy your peaceful strolls in nature.
Thank you, I will
Another great video. So good I watched it twice!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video. We visited there in 2017, but could only hike the first .7 miles. It was great to see the trail to the river.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good video but you sound like a serial killer in the beginning
Awesome video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Gorgeous
Curious how many of the North Shore state parks you've been to (there are 8)? Grand Portage is definitely one of the better ones, and I'm glad you got to make it all the way back to the other falls. The overlook halfway is probably the best in the whole state.
I have been to the others, but before I started the channel, I hopefully will get to them all again.
Hey Joe! Think you could let me borrow the Ferrari again?
Anytime!
This man saved me from a burning building. Great guy
Glad I could help
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5
Thank you! Cheers!
Great vid, I appreciate you. This looks perfect for our next trip. Would it really hold up against a bear? Just black bears around here by the great smokies
Thanks! I have never had a bear attack my bag but there are test videos on the Ursack website. ursack.com/pages/field-tests
Enjoyed the video. Just the tonic for nature starved people like me in NYC.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm happy I could bring you some nature!
Good info
Thanks
Wow. beautiful destination. Long way from home!!
About 17-hour drive, but closest big mountains to home. Great place!
Another beautiful hike. Wow, that water is moving!
Yes it was! We had a lot of rain.
I love watching your videos!!
Glad you like them!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
Thank you! Cheers!
Need a shave! Love your videos
Sometimes, it gets a little rough by the end of the week.
Good to know. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍9
Thanks for visiting
Wife and I made this trek last weekend! Those stairs are humbling and no joke! The view at the top is worth the pain, though. Great video! Also, it's pronounced SEE-ben-all-er
You don't realize how many stairs it really is until you are half way up. Thanks for the pronunciation.
Excellent stuff! Albeight only so because it for some reason isn't inherently obvious behaviour to many people. I mean, these seven priciples can just as easy as not be implemented in a person's daily routines and not just when outside the reach of municipal renovation services. Just imagine that for a moment, huh? People like second nature and not a thought in their heads about it, throwing their garbage in garbage containers or putting it in their pockets or bags until they can empty it into an garbage container. Well, I'll keep hoping, and easier to maintain now I've watched this excellent piece of necessary instruction🙏 Just needs more subscribers to have the impact it deserves, and the natural world needs it to have. I'll do my little bit towards that end. Also a reflection. Since it, to so many people as is the case, it seems to be second nature and not a thought in their heads about it, either, to throw their garbage anywhere they happen to throw it once they they have garbage to throw - maybe it becomes a small token gesture by me if I volunteered to pick that garbage up and deposit it in the proper place on behalf of those people? I'v taken up doing that, anyway, nad have found it to be beneficial in a number of ways. Obviously to nature getting rid of at least that much plastic/aluminium wrappers and cigaretbuts, but also to me and m experience of experiencing how other people just throw these things in places where it will actively hurt the wildlife. So I recommend doing that to everyone who cares about this and is becoming frustrated with how little traction thiese obvious, obvious issues have to the vast majority of humankind. Can't get stranded on frustration and hopelessness, we simply need to change our ways on the collective level. And it starts with the individual because that's how the problem came into being in the first place: An individual throwing his or her candywrapper while walking in the forest and not thinking about it, like at all. It simply has to go. You'll enjoy your trekking adventures, I know, so I'm not going to tell you how I hope you will. Because nature is where it's all at if you just first notice and you very obviously already figured that know. So just #savesoil. And keep on building a #consciousplanet
Amen Brother!
Beautiful place. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Subbed & 👍9
Thanks for coming
I strictly adhere to "Leave no trace". It's called spore, evidence. This should be your everyday SOP, be the grey man! I only take a burner phone with me in the bush. Much of what your talking about is standard practices when behind enemy lines.
Good info, thanks.
I've always thought that when I see garbage on the trail it was carried by the wind. But I guess it also depends on how many people travel on the trail and if its a popular day hiking spot as the amount of traffic seems to affect that too. I've been picking up trash as I hike because it's so distracting. I always bring a map and compass, I'm surprised that you never do bring a paper map on the trips that you and I have done.
I also try to pick up garbage I see. I feel a big part is educating people about this stuff, thus the video. I think Minnesota has very good clean up programs like adopt-a-highway and work programs that clean up garbage all over the state, and they do a good job. I need to bring a paper map, one day It will get me in trouble.
We saw the eclipse in Ohio - only about 2 min of totality for us but still one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Glad the trip ended on a high note for you!
I remember getting off the bus from school May 10, 1994 and watching a partial eclipse here in Minnesota. I made it to Missouri in August 2017 for that total eclipse, and now this one. Each time was more amazing than the last. Something to remember!
Even though the trip didn't go as planned. It was still fun and the eclipse was awesome!
Yes it was!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! CZcams controls the commercials.
@@happytrailbackpacking I thought it meant you've moved up in popularity and now you get commercials🤣
Wow! What beautiful views! 😍
It was!
Excellent tutorial for humping bush my friend🍀🎄
Great choice for music!
Super donuts, got it.👍
So good!
Those barefoot creek crossings cannot feel good. I guess that's better than people who 18:30 Those are blossoms on Eastern Redbud trees. They are one of the first trees to blossom in the spring here. Dogwoods bloom a little later with bigger white blossoms. 24:00 Eagle Rock Loop gets much more crowded as things warm up, and especially on the weekends. I was wondering if you would give up on barefoot wet crossings. When I do Eagle Rock Loop, I march through the wet crossings and keep on going. I think the reason the they haven't built bridges is because the Little Missouri floods so often and the bridges would need to be huge because the river spans such a wide distance. Forest Service doesn't have the funding for that. Personally, I kind of like the fact that they are wet crossings. Keeps it more rustic. They tried to build up the area around Little MO falls and the paved trail has almost all eroded away. They don't even have the funding to maintain what was already built, let alone building more. Good video.
Barefoot doesn't bother me, but after so many it takes its toll. I wear waterproof boot so they would take a week to dry. I ordered some better shoes that will dry quickly so I can keep moving. I will give those a try and hopefully my feet will not get chewed next time.
Thanks for sharing your adventure, Loki and I love Hercules Glades! Been there for a day hike and a one-nighter, both great experiences, but Long Creek was mostly dry for us. Sorry to hear about your migraine, that sucks big time. I've been throwing up sick once while out on a multi-day backpacking trip, and it was the worse, just wanted to get off trail asap. Good call to cut your trip a day short, safety and health come first!
Great video thanks for posting! Which trailhead did you enter from and how far would you say to the waterfall section?
I started at the trailhead in the Northwestern corner of the loop. The Little Missouri Falls was at about 23 miles going counter-clockwise.
How cold was the water crossing those creeks?
Numbing, probably around 35 degrees.
I agree this was a gorgeous trail. The crossings were intense. I was on the edge of my seat!
Yes it was!
I think the green patches are for deer..
That would make sense!
😬 "promosm"
My favorite view at the end of the video. My heart has always been in Old Frontenac. I have 7 books on its rich history. Naturally, I live in Phoenix, AZ. ??
That is awesome, it is such a captivating area. Glad I could bring you a little closer.
#10 Way to go!
I believe Alaska is ak you are in ar but keep up the good work
Oops! You are correct, thanks!
Any Black Bear, or other 'Critters' ?
Not this time, but I'm always on the look out.
Loved the history, very informative. Great hike.
