- Join us on this incredible 60 mile loop known as the North Circle Loop in GNP. It’s shoulder season in the alpine so that means no bugs, less people, and crazy weather! Lovin every minute of it!
man what a place. and what a video too. you guys look fun as heck. some dialogs there kind of reminded me of the show band of brothers haha glad you guys had a great time. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🍻
Spectacular Video, you'll made it look easy.
Thank you for the kind words🍻
Bomber! Subbed
Beautiful - one wish: a bit more info where exactly you are hiking, some of the landmark mountains around Lake Elizabeth, and access route you took to Ptarmigan and back on the High Line Trail. Some of us have become too challenged physically to undertake a long hike like this, but love Glacier and its gorgeous trails (and grizzly thrills) - and are happy to enjoy the trails this way. Great hike!

Thanks for watching 🍻
20 miles, 6K foot day is INSANE. Great video man. But wow, that day is brutal
Worth every step! 🍻
@@BackcountryTreks when you booked this, did you book your entire itinerary in advance, or did you have to show up to the backcountry office in person? I think around mid September, most sites become walk-up only.
@mikewanders I booked it as soon as the portal opened up early in the season. Had my itinerary together and got the reservation I requested. However, due to excessive bear activity our route was changed a little bit on us. But yes, you have to check in at the ranger station prior to your trip to get your permits. Hope that helps.
i will watch this one over and over , amazing scenery , thanks for trek
Thanks for watching 🍻
I found myself hiking vicariously with you with this footage you provided. I was cold. And the sun felt so good. I found myself recognizing the trail. I've hiked portions. Thank you for filming and sharing the middle!
Thanks for watching 🍻
Spectacular scenery 👍👍
Wow, what a trail. I am sure there are pros and cons of doing this in late fall vs. July/August but if feels like the winter weather was just another element of beauty and magesty. Galcier is such a neat place.
I'm new to your channel Joe, but boy I am looking forward to binging your content!
Definitely pros and cons. Shoulder season can be fickle as I’m sure you know. Thanks for the support!🍻
Nice work documenting this beautiful hike! Really enjoyed it! Subbed.
Thanks for the support!🍻
So bummed I missed this trip, Great video see you boys on the next one.
Can’t wait!
Great footage! I really enjoyed this loop. Definitely some beautiful country.
I started gathering info on it for next year.
Take care!
Thanks for watching 🍻
Amazing scenery ... Thanks for taking us along on your awesome/amazing backcountry adventure ... I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching! 🍻🍻🍻
@@BackcountryTreks ... Follow up question ... After watching your video I did a Google search on the North Circle Loop ... Most of the webpages that I reviewed said the loop was 52 miles ... What did you add to your trip to make it 60 miles?
@Colorado_Kkid we went up to Kootenai lake. It added a few miles each direction. It ended up being between 58 and 60 so I rounded up. 😎
great video.
taking a bit of a chance to hike so late with the Ptarmigan Tunnel. I've seen it close earlier than mid September. glad it was open.....
It was scheduled to be closed 2 days into our trip. Once we passed through we were committed. lol thanks for watching! 🍻🍻
@@BackcountryTreks yea. i've seen it open well into October, too. glad it worked out....
Epic as usual. Always wanted to visit Montana. Crazy too how the weather can change like that. What kinda temps were you seeing at night?
Thanks man! It was averaging mid to low thirties overnight. Not too bad.
Awsome video dude I aspire to make a camping trip video like this one. How many batteries do you bring with you? And how many times do you recharge? Also do you make ur videos on places you've been before so you have a good Guage on how long it would take with filming or do you just wing it in new locations?
I use my iPhone 13 and a little jobi gorilla stand. For batteries I bring a 20,000 mah batter bank and that gives me about 4-5 full charges. On shorter trips I bring a 10,000 mah battery. I’m always playing around with ways to shoot and trying to learn new things! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!🍻🍻
@BackcountryTreks dam I would have thought you were using a pro camera. Quality on phones is crazy good nowadays. Thanks
Which days in Sept did y'all do this trip? 😊
The last week of September into the first week of October.
Can you get a permit for this trail fairly easy ?
Depends on the time of year. Late season when we went I’d say yes it’s pretty easy. But busy season obviously a different story. Regardless I’d get permits way ahead of time if possible.
